Devilgrey Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) thanks @Wulfie Reanimator & @Flea Yatsenko for your comments. i didn't consider sl already has the rating system in place, so liden labs could very well limit the ios and andriod versions to be only general and mature sims/content. which i think would be the best bet if apple decides to nuke the adult side out of the mobile sl. I agree with you flea maybe if the sl app ends up leaning more g or m rated, it'd be nice to see more stuff created for those categories. not everyone comes to sl for the sexual stuff.

As far as the Adult stuff, there are plenty of people in SL for whom that is not a priority, and the release of the mobile viewer may increase those numbers. Or, mobile users could choose to just go about their adult-rated activities in the desktop viewers. One issue I can see is that some skin shops are on adult sims i'm not personally worried myself about not being able to do naughty stuff on mobile. i only dabbled in erp a few times and that was over a year ago now. i'm worried if liden labs has to restrict the mobile viewer to g or m rated sims it'll affect stores, and other non-sex sims that happen to be on a-rated lands. edit: on second thought, if mobile sl ends up being barred from accessing a-rated content, it may incentivize mobile users to download sl on their computers. so maybe it won't be all that bad?

VenKellie Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 awesome seeing Unity be used for Second Life. This really inspires me to make my own MMORPG with the engine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiyumei Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Looks good, but I feel like the end product will not be like the demo, specially on the rendering part. There are more than I can count sims out there who are very heavy on prims and can make high end desktop pc struggle at times, let alone a mobile device that can't even come close in hardware power. I see it to be mostly used as form communication rather than actively interacting with the virtual world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidventer Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I just got an iPad Pro M2, would love to give this a try if you have a Test Flight version available. Let me be your beta tester 🥹🙏. I also have an iPhone Pro so I can test on that as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Blakewell Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I looked back over the demo video recently and I believe there's no shadows. I don't mind sacrificing shadows on a mobile viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiresu Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Hi, I was wondering if the development team also included the first person to want to give secondlife Mobile a 3D look. I mean the creator of Lumiya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind sacrificing shadows on a mobile viewer. On one hand, shadows seem like an optional feature. On the other hand, they aren't too demanding on modern hardware (including mobile devices). Take a look at the difference in our SpeedLight mobile rendering on an iPad. Adding shadows doesn't affect FPS but definitely enhances the visuals. There are many nuances (like which objects should cast shadows and which should receive them). However, skilled developers can certainly tackle this challenge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In simple terms, the viewer just displays the world as it is, having no control over its behavior. (That's why we call it a "viewer.") And so, because the world isn't dependent on the client implemention, it's relatively painless to use any game engine as a viewer. There's nothing to migrate. 🙂 Edited May 11, 2023 by Wulfie Reanimator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monique Bellambi Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I can't wait until I can play from my chromebook. Sometimes I just want to hop on really quick or my kids are hogging the desktop. This would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
