Update: SmallWorlds will be in public beta from 2pm 03/06/08. Come and check it out!

SmallWorlds was released into private beta yesterday afternoon after months of development. It’s been amazing to see this grow from nothing, into the greatest Flex application every built!


SmallWorlds features:

  • Built in Flex and running on top of Red5 on Amazon’s EC2 servers
  • Highly flexible avatar builder where you have heaps of control over face shape, facial features and it even has a dance studio where you can design you avatar’s groove
  • Heaps of furniture and theme packs to make your room just like home
  • You can fill your room with lots of great widgets/applications such as the pool table, arcade machine, YouTube TV, Flickr photos, Last.fm radio and heaps more

The beta is currently invite only, so if you’d like to get in and see it for yourself, leave a comment on this post with a valid email and I’ll send one through to you.

Sorry about the delay guys! The huge number of people trying to send invites has crashed our email server temporarily :)

We’re working on getting it fixed, and I’ll make sure everyone who has commented gets an invite as soon as it’s back online.

Very cool, would love to give it a spin. Great to see you guys using Red5.

Ok, everyone should have recieved their invite now. If you still haven’t by tomorrow then let me know.

If anyone else still wants an invite, just leave a message here and I’ll make sure you get one. Also, everyone who has an account can invite other people through the ‘Share’ function :)

This looks pretty amazing for a Flex application. I would love to learn more about how this application was created, design patterns and what have you. hmmmm maybe a FITC session?

Just a quick reminder that anyone who has a SmallWorlds account can invite as many more other people as they want. Just look for the share function.

Also, if you do find any bugs or problems with the system, or have any sugestions for what could make SmallWorlds even cooler, send them through to: support-AT-smallworlds-DOT-com

Saw Steve and Andrew present small worlds at the Auckland Web Meetup last night – what an awesome game.

I’d be keen for a beta invite, too, if they’re still available!

Cheers,

If invites are still available, I’d love one. I’ve been a flex developer for 3 years and can’t wait to see what you’ve done with this. Looks the most un-flex-like (antiflex?!) app I’ve ever seen!
