Retrospective — Liza Sharikova

18.09.2008 Ivan Zykov

We’d like to go a lil’bit into history and tell you the reason that we started to pay attention to (almost) massively multiplayer worlds based on Flash.

In 2004, by the order of Moscow singer and model Liza Sharikova and fashion group Fresh Art we began to work on a virtual city. Users had to have an ability to choose their avatar, walk on the streets, communicate each other and learn about Liza’s works by entering her virtual house.

We had some experience of using Flash as a client for multiuser system, so we didn’t consider this as a crazy task.

We didn’t meet any reasonable deadlines, but finally we got nice and good-working virtual city, along with the indispensable and unique for that time experience.

It is not working under Flash Player 10 yet (it’s year 2004, don’t be angry ).

Ah, the website is made in Russian, sorry.

    Das hat nicht mit einer Website von Russland zu tun. Vielleicht liegt es an Deiner Flash-Version. Man sollte ab und zu mal updaten :-)

    Das ist richtig Maus. Aber viele können das nicht machen, da sie einen Laptop haben. Die Änderungen verstehen halt viele nicht. Mit dem Flash ist das so eine Sache.
