OpenSim Gallery

by

I have some ideas about some interesting and unique games that can be developed in OpenSim. But I think the threshold for using Second Life/OpenSim today is too high. For a pilot project I thought I’d do something simple, so I decided to do an image gallery. I asked my aunt (Karin White) which has … Read more
