So we had our trade show yesterday in Ohio at COSI. It was a STS & GSA government convention that invited the procurement officers to see what we could provide them in 2009. And as we all know there were tons of other vendors there but who cares about them right? lol.... We thought we would share our booth experience by showing it. Abby is in the picture but from the look on her face I do not think she was ready for this snapshot! Take a look as we did not get to put up one sign (Second Life) due to room. boo!

We have a huge trade show coming up and so we decided to make sure people stop wasting plastic by purchasing bottled water and decide to save our environment by using a water bottle. Therefore we have invested in water bottle to provide to the people at the conference in hope they will not only contact us but save our environment!

We have started the mock-up of the development of the Creative Computing Campus. Our very creative artists are building a high tech computing campus! This campus will be used by a non disclosed college to teach game development within their Interactive Media department.  Stay tuned as our artist working on this project is very talented! We will keep you posted with pictures throughout the build.

If you are interested in having a high tech campus contact us today!

We're heading to some trade shows and meetings in the upcoming weeks and decided we needed some additional promo products to take with us. Our new pens arrived today! If you'd like promo products of your own designed and/or printed, contact us!

We are proud to announce that our president Andrew Hughes is teaching students of Sycamore High School on the basics of Second Life. We are still trying to figure out when he sleeps. We now think he might sleep with his eyes open during our 9:00 Monday morning meeting. But who doesn't have a case of the Monday's? Anyways using Second Life as a learning tool is a great asset for the kids because of the wide array of skill sets that can be developed using Second Life, including 3D modeling, programming, and graphic design, among many others. The goal of the students from Sycamore High School is to develop a science lab and replicate mixing certain chemicals to obtain scientific reactions. These students are doing this as their capstone project to graduate from Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. Below is a picture of Andrew and a few of the students in Second Life.

As you may know we finished up ABCi, and are almost finished with the golf course. However, we have some more exciting news to announce. We started a new full island design today for a non-disclosed client. This island will have a headquarters building, training area, auditorium, and many other items I cannot disclose! We will give you a sneak peak only until we start branding the development. Stay tuned!!! Here is a top secret screen shot... shhhh!

Hats off to our talented crew for being able to implement an open source sim into a client's intranet. We were able to login 200 users without any lag due to it being hosted at their physical location and being used on their intranet! This development means that we can now install sims for local schools, colleges, businesses, etc. so that they can use them internally and never need to connect directly to a Second Life server. Therefore, there is no need to open ports for security or purchase a sim from Linden Labs. We are still in beta testing of the server but were able to connect 200 computers (clients) to the server at one time!!! Great job DDINC. Staff!

Within Second Life, just like many other programs, there are small features that many people don't utilize and/or even know about. The Second Life grid tool is one of those. In an attempt to educate and assist fellow Second Life users we have created a quick tutorial video explaining and demostrating the grid.

Our Second Life golf island is moving right along. We now have the HUD (heads-up display) created and programmed, along with the ball, tee and hole scripts. As of now we can also play the first 3 holes of the course! A driver, fairway iron/wedge and a putter were created yesterday and given to our programmer to program into the game. So as of now 80% of the scripted is complete, scripting of the golf clubs with animations and sounds, adding the scripted tee boxes and putting greeens to the remianing 6 holes, then incorporating the high scoreboard are all that remain for the programmer.
