Melvin Rook (Bamieater) was interviewed by Linux Magazine and talked about Diversia and the Game & Simulation minor he worked on at the university. You can read it all in Linux Magazine, issue 2 of this year.
“In this edition we spoke with the developer of Diversia, an open source virtual world. In an extensive illustrated article, project manager Melvin Rook explains why Diversia has an advantage over existing virtual worlds such as Second Life, which is slowly turning into a ghost world.”
We are still working on the Linux client port, but we ran into strange compile issues. Help is welcome, so we can release soon.
