Metaplace is going away on the 1st of the year!

To be honest, I am amazed it even made it through 2009 at all.

Metaplace still makes me giggle. In fact, I am giggling at this very moment.

I see a video game competition in the making:

Lemmings vs. Metaplace

It will be just like in the movie Joysticks. “Dorfus Mannnnnuuuuver!!!!”

The majority of those who bash and/or are bored by metaplace have either not tried or have never developed in it. Metaplace is not TRYING to be SL. Granted, the graphics are limited to SNES-style 2D, but the stuff that can be done if you overlook that simple limitation is incredible. The example worlds given here are pretty, but do not even come close to showing the capabilities of the platform. It is as customizable as the snes was for game developers of the day, except with built-in multiplayer, and who says the SNES was not a fun machine?! I myself have been developing an RC Pro-Am i- style racing/destruction derby game, and am amazed at the simplicity and customability of the tools. Right now the problem is content. Once the content is built, the players will follow. MP has been around for a while now in development, and I am sure it will be kicking around for quite a while, if not taking the web by storm.

This “platform’s” artwork is so “kiddie” that it really turns me off.

I agree. It is almost as if the Herald wishes for Metaplace to replace SL.

I do not see this scenario taking place however (Metaplace surpassing SL).

I see Metaplace turning into a Lively and then it disappears from everywhere, including this site.

At the same time, I can feel a resurgence of popularity given to Lemmings, which in my opinion, is a far superior product when compared to Metaplace.

And to quote Ron Burgundy from Anchor Man:
“If you don’t think that Lemmings is the best pc game ever, I will fight you.”

don’t judge the site by the reviewer’s choice of embeds look at dalian’s for example…

testing if it works in a comment oh well, not taking html, I guess.

Metaplace has some good ideas but the execution sucks. I think it’s less that the Herald loves Metaplace and more that they hate SL.

For anyone who missed out on Lemmings, here is the playable link to it: http://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/ Much more fun than Metaplace in my opinion.
