Silence of the Dictatorshop

No, not much has been released at the Dictatorshop recently. I’ve been a little distracted with some higher end projects I’m trying to finish up; such as a hover bike with some quality vehicle physics (easier said than done in SL); and an inter-network vendor for the Shop which allows for some serious network maintenance.

The hover bike project….. while I can’t say it’s a *serious* endeavor, I’m building my own hover bike in order to better my understanding of vehicles in Second Life. For me, vehicles is the last frontier to be conquered. So far, the few people who have tried my prototype have said it has some of the smoothest and most controllable vehicle physics they’ve ever encountered in a flying machine….. which was a good boost to moral on completing the project. I’m not sure if I’ll end up selling it when its finished or not, it depends on whether or not I *really* like it. Aside from that, it’s more or less a project for me to learn from…… not necessarily to sell. But well, if the people who try it like it, maybe it’s a contender.

I did update the flamethrower though….. which has a few positive improvements to the design. If you’ve purchased one of these, contact me for an upgrade.
