Art Update April 15, 2010

Art Update:

For the 4/20 event we have recreated Merlin's Cafe and added a Merlin's Wonderland. Here are some screenshots of the new region. Merlin's is located on the street next to the bordello. Check it out, I hope you all enjoy it.

In other news, Utherverse has been working on new sex animations. We are now currently testing out Masturbation and Standing Blow Jobs for both male and female avatars. If you would like to test these out, please feel free to log onto QA and test with our Tech team.

Another addition we've been working on is the Bomb Shelter, a shopping mall for skateboard enthusiasts. It is another addition to Granville

Island, located in Virtual-Vancouver. If you're a skateboarding fan, or just cruising by Granville Island, have a peek.

As far as the art team goes, here are a few of our main focuses in the coming weeks:
The entire team is working on optimizing some of our highly populated regions to lessen lag and load times for everyone. We are starting on

the Street in Virtual Vancouver, and Granville Island.
We are also working on a more efficient way of lighting and this will heavily impact framerates around the world, so stay tuned.
Thanks guys!
