Quote:I was a little suspicious, then, when at the AGC I heard of Multiverse, launching today. It's a complete, end-to-end platform solution that is free for non-commercial use. "We only make money when you make money, and if you never charge a cent, you never have to pay us anything". Nevertheless, having looked into it, it does indeed seem to be the genuine article. It was set up by a bunch of ex-Netscape developers, and they took their give-it-away philosophy with them. The business model appears to be to build up an installed base of Multiverse browsers through free games, thereby making the platform attractive to commercial developers (who will have to pay to use it).
I thought some people may be interested. :o)

So this is using the Axiom engine? That's Ogre, right?

Yeah. I believe that the front-end rendering is through OGRE. I believe they wrote the backend from the ground up around the network model.
