Announcing the SpotON3D Developer Program

We're most happy to report that at SpotON3D® there's an ever growing in-stream of new users of all categories; recreational users, business users, content creators and application developers. Especially for the incoming content creators and application developers, the SpotON3D team is excited to announce we're developing a SpotON3D Developer Program.

Internet-veteran and SpotON3D team member Philippe "Phil" Pascal, Co-founder of Metaverse Developer Snowcrash Digital™ and published author on topics of new media and marketing, will be developing a fully-featured developer and certified developer program for content creators and application developers active within our Web Worlds™.

The developer program will focus on five elements of sim design and execution. First and most important; Quality assurance - as Web Worlds are still a pretty new medium it's not always easy for users to judge the quality of the products delivered to them. With our certification system, SpotON3D aims to offer a certain level of quality insurance, so potential users can have faith that they're investing in a good, stable and reliable product.

Secondly there's pro-active support. SpotON3D will have a group established for the SO3D Developer Program members, giving you direct access to your peers and dedicated staff of SpotON3D. It is hoped this will establish a clear line of communication for directly collaboration between our team and yours, offering an appropriate response in a timely fashion.

We also aim for a high level of transparency, meeting with our developers on regular times talking them through the upcoming new features and evolutions well enough in advance for them to be able to anticipate. Networking will also play an important role in our developer program, introducing our developers to each other, and highlighting each other's specialties. We strongly believe that by encouraging networking between all the specialized developers, we will bring a higher level of quality to the projects taking place in our Web Worlds. Last, but certainly not least, SpotON3D will actively promote and market the projects and products developed by our content creators and application developers to businesses as they come in.

There’s a window of opportunity for developers to step in and help formulate how their role will meld with the SpotON3D objectives. Over the next month, we’ll be announcing meetings for members of our developer community to come together for this purpose. To join us in this exciting expansion of our services, please reach out to us with your ideas and suggestions through Phil Pascal, the SO3D Developer Program Manager via e-mail at phil@spoton3d.com. Within the month we’ll be sending out invitations to those expressing an interest and help you get back to work.

Breaking news: Phoenix Viewer partners with SpotON3D®

As some of you know, we’ve been biting our tongues on a very big piece of information and at 2pm SLT yesterday, at the Rezz.tv island in Second Life ®, the cat finally was let out of the bag. SpotON3D ® is most happy to announce our partnership with the Phoenix Viewer team in creating a Phoenix-flavored viewer just for SpotON3D Web Worlds! The download for the beta viewer from Phoenix will be in the next couple of days. In the meantime grab a copy of the SpotON3D viewer and kick the tires on ours ( https://spoton3d.com/pages/downloads ). We’re sure you’ll have ideas, hates and greats that you’ll want to be addressed by us or changed up in the Phoenix viewer after comparing the two. You can put in your two cents by emailing us via phoenix@spoton3d.com. Some of the things you’ll want to pay attention to before you suggest doing away with certain parts is the many hybrid 2D/3D systems integrated into the Spoton3D® grid, such as …

· Our BoostCloud™ dedicated servers to let you entertain up to 125 users without impacting your neighbors, or they you.

· Our Universal Registration, Avatar & Inventory System

· SpotONSynergy and Double Dutch Delivery™ system backed by PayPal® using real USD to create a truly portable economy system

· Integrated SpotOn3D EZPrezTools™ and much much more coming at you this year.

Both the Phoenix Viewer Team and the Spoton3D Team are looking forward to working in close collaboration. This will provide users with a clear voice in how the grid and viewer interact and the path towards new features. The teams look forward to the exciting changes that will undoubtedly take place as the Phoenix team helps to further develop SpotON3D’s network of Web Worlds and associated grids.

For more information, or to get your copy of the official press release, please contact Brandy Maltas (Kalli Birman in-world : SpotON3D®'s public relations) at public_relations@spoton3d.com. We look forward to seeing ya’ll wearing your Phoenix Fire tags and streaming fire icons as you build! Until then, please go ahead and grab a copy of the SpotON3D client and kick the tires a bit on the FREE4EVER account and in the FREE4EVER Sandbox. https://spoton3d.com/pages/downloads
