About this blog and its purpose

There are many things to do in Activeworlds virtual reality environment. I've chosen my way. It is a way of a builder. There are also many ways to build. My way is to create a virtual town.

The town is Horizon City. It was established January 2000 and it quickly became one of the most popular cities back then, with hundreds of builders. Besides that the town serves as historic reminder of how things were at Activeworlds, it is still constantly developing virtual experience, displaying latest features and architectural possibilities.

In this blog I will keep track how the things are going in Horizon City and in Activeworlds community.

Traditional Terrain Editing

For a long time I haven't been building real terrain, but today. The picture is from one of the best public building worlds called TheBeans. I've built the whole terrain by hand to the P150 world some years ago.

It's clear with new objects


Alphaworld has got set of new objects. As usual, new objects inspire me to build. This time I made some updates to city GZ. Snow, or what was left of it, is now complitely gone and all new trees have grown! I finally modified the builders wall too - it is now pretty clear.

Snow or not?


It is snowing this year at the city ground zero. But since the ground is warmer than usually, almost all snow are melting.
Happy Holidays!

No hits at Cy Awards 2007

This years Cy Awards are at hand. Horizon City or anyone related to our city wasn't nominated this time either. Oh well, I'll keep the city up with few other builders for as long as I can anyway. Perhaps someday, someone notices our effors.

Owning Virtual Land - AW vs. SL

I noticed something funny recently: I own more virtual land than the biggest landowner in SecondLife, but I only pay 69.95$ / year for it. For a builder, AW seems to be much better option.
