We thought we would share that Google as officially found us in it's search! We have top rankings in Second Life, Web Design, Graphic Design, Printing, E-learning, and Web Programming. Here is an example of where we rank in the Second Life searches. This is due to our talented SEO and Pay Per Click campaign. Hopefully we can continue to put our efforts into this and see results as shown below. Take a look!

Trade Show Went Well!!!

Posted on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 22:00

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!

CCC Second Life Island Preview

Posted on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 08:09

By now know our team has been hard at work in Second Life on a couple of different islands. I wanted to give a quick preview of one of the buildings. Below you can see the building that will be used to give information about the computer courses. It will also be used by the Graphic Design and Game Design clubs of the school. In the pictures you can see the concept coming together in Second Life, then the final shot is the building after a few hours of texturing. Our team just has a few more textures to do in the front of the building, then add some furniture and this building will be finished!

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!

Sneak Peak at the new Top Secret Island

Posted on Fri, 10/24/2008 - 12:08

shhh.. remember that top secret island we are doing? (It is only top secret because we cant tell you who's it is), so it still kinda still top secret. Isn't it? Great now I don't think the title really is correct for this post.  We wanted to share only a tiny tiny bit of what we have built. Again we are only showing you because our artists love their jobs!

This reminds me of  my backyard! (I wish)

Golf Course and Game is Complete!

Posted on Sat, 10/18/2008 - 05:53

Another Designing Digitally first. We have done a few small golf items like putt putt and a single hole games but nothing this large. We have now completed our first fully customized and playable 9 hole golf course. Though the island has not been completed (due to client extending time to gather materials for their information building) we were to excited to wait and announce the courses completion. Our talented designers and programmers did a wonderful job creating a course that reflects Pebble Beach Golf Course in California. More details will be available and soon you will be able to check it out for yourself! There are a few snapshots below showing the first few holes as well as the difficult 5th hole where the green is on the edge of a cliff!

Andrew Is Teaching Second Life To High School Students

Posted on Fri, 10/17/2008 - 03:00

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.
