Development Lab
Where ideas are tested before they’re promised.
The lab is our working space for prototypes, experiments and the technology underneath our products. Nothing here is a release — it’s how releases get made.
Process
Prototype. Test. Document. Release.
Prototype
Smallest working version first — a vertical slice that proves the idea end to end.
Simulate
Logic is exercised locally with automated checks before it ever reaches a world.
Test in-world
Builds are run inside Second Life with step-by-step checklists and recorded evidence.
Document
Every fix, decision and open issue is logged, with a rollback path for anything that changes.
Current experiments
What’s on the bench.
- Needs & care simulation
- A shared model of everyday needs — how they change over time, how they survive logouts and how they stay fair to every player. Prototype
- Object-to-HUD handshakes
- Authenticated messaging so in-world objects and HUDs can trust each other, with consent settings that default to off. Prototype
- Interactive furniture
- Seats and beds that start, track and summarize activity sessions with a player’s HUD. In testing
Learning
