Or maybe it’s Japanese…May 11th, 2007 |
Here’s Splume.
It’s free and it’s in open beta. “Metamo” is their shop/mall sort of thing. Looks sort of Habbo-ish. But of course, it’s all in Japanese; fortunately, I have someone fluent sitting about six feet away. I’ll update this post as I learn more.
edit:
Custom protocol for streaming 3d assets. Nobody was around, but it’s 4am in Japan right now. You had to register, and a client download for this custom browser. The sign-in process was a bit clunky. Lots of graphical glitches, z-sorting problems, etc. We couldn’t figure out how to chat, but there were lots of emotes. We were a monkey in a floating crab flying saucer thing, with robots arms. There were 5 avatars to choose from. Very cutesy art overall. Doesn’t look like it’s really expected to be played outside Japan right now — we had to pretend we were from Hokkaido, and it wouldn’t take a non-Japanese name.
