vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions This is as naked as you get in Kaneva. As you can see, I’ve made some progress with customizing the bathtub and with hanging a picture. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions I came back home with a bathtub, a ceiling fan and a TV. Plopped the stuff on the floor from the inventory. Moving things around isn’t particularly easy -- instead of dragging/dropping, you need to push the direction arrows on a pop-up window. You also need to remember to click the green check mark or whatever you’ve been doing will be lost. This is probably the most annoying interface element of the game. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions This is the electronics store in the mall where you buy TVs and washers. You can’t buy these goodies on the shelf, but if you look closely, you’ll see a box with Spore, the Will Wright’s upcoming evolution game. There are also boxes of Wiis and Xboxes that you can’t buy. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Now back to the mall for some frames. In another strange navigation twist, you can’t teleport directly to the store (or, rather, I couldn’t figure out how), so I had to go to the main spawn area and than walk around looking for the frame shop. No meaningful signage to help you negotiate the space, either. As I said earlier, you can’t just buy something by clicking on it. Instead, you need to approach the automatic clerk, press TAB to summon a list of available merchandise. After that, the acquisition process is pretty straightforward, although the item descriptions are somewhat cryptic (what’s "converted to 261"?) 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions But before that, I tried to change the wallpaper on the walls. Replaced the default texture with an AdverLab screengrab; didn’t come out too well. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions You can’t just slap your photo on the wall, you need to buy some frames first. Back to the mall. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Before you begin customizing your digs, you’ll need to upload some "media" through the website. Besides the apartment, every member gets a profile page, too, for a nice combination of 3D and 2D personal spaces. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Every account comes with a default empty apartment. Everyone’s got the same view, an artificial one since there’s no "outside". 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Another apartment. More pictures, and a TV with a playlist that’s now empty, although apparently it plays videos. The furniture and the fireplace and the lamps you can buy in the mall. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions MySpace in 3D. This would be a profile page in the flat world, but in Kaneva, members customize their apartments with pictures they upload. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions You move around the world by clicking on bookmarks. This is some sort of a hangout spot. Looks pretty. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions There’s some billboard space that is now occupied by an in-house promo inviting members to join the stress test for a chance to win an iPod. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Due to a strange interface decision, you can’t buy things on display by clicking on them. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions This apparel store has nothing to do with the Vans shoes. I imagine once the world kicks off, this is where real brands will be able to rent retail space. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Once you are done configuring, the body is spawned in a big mall. An information desk is nearby, and this is where you buy stuff for your apartment, including the "deeds" that upgrade your bachelor studio to a trendy loft or a hangout spot. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Once you are logged in, you are taken to a pretty standard avatar configuration screen. It’s interesting that weight and height sliders move in sync preserving some proportions, that is, you can’t make an extremely short and chubby character. 3 years ago
vedrashko commented on Kaneva: First Impressions Kaneva is a new social 3D space. A few general thoughts here: http://adverlab.blogspot.com/2007/03/kaneva-first-impressions.html 3 years ago
