Beta launch of AT.LANT.IS
It is done – well, almost. The beta, at least.
Last thursday plazz entertainment, the company I’m working for, launched it’s new virtual world aimed at kids, AT.LANT.IS, as beta open for everyone.
Now, since this is a rather technical blog, I will not bore you with marketing blah about why and how great this platform as – nevertheless, we are pretty proud that we are live, finally.
Here are some screenshots.
During the beta (which will last for a couple of weeks), all users have access to all the features the platform has to offer, for free, like
- creating your own avatar
- chatting and exploring Atlantis
- go swimming in the ocean
- learning about the backstory by finding and reading infosources
- playing minigames, single and multiplayer, earning ingame money
- competing for highscores
- spending ingame money on new clothes for your avatar
- inviting your buddies into your own private home room
- exchanging ingame-mails with your buddies
(Note: Not everything is live, we will keep adding content and features during the beta phase.)
Even if it’s “just” the beta, the security and safety of our beta users is very imporant to us.
The platform is moderated by staff members who answer questions and watch the chat and mail logs in realtime between 8 hours (on weekdays) and 12 hours (on weekends) every day.
At night, chatting is only possible in “supersafe mode” using predefined text phrases; and no ingame mails can be sent to others.
So, I invite you to go check it out, let us know what works for you and what does not. All feedback is very welcome – either comment here, or use the feedback form on the site.
Of course, I will continue to post updates, including some more technical background info.
