Imagine. Technology that lets you play a computer game, relaxing you so you can go to bed without medication. Software that helps people overcome addictions. A program that draws on ancient practices of meditation for inspiration -- to help our generation of have-it-now folks to lead better lives. |
Oddfellow Studios is a startup headed up by Shava Nerad, CEO; and Fish Fishman (aka Tuna Oddfellow in Second Life, left), Artist in Residence. We do a few impossible things. You can come see a demo by following the directions below -- learn more about the Oddfellow Studios story -- learn more about Shava and Fish -- visit our blog for news and announcements -- see more on our media page -- order Oddfellow swag -- contact us! |
See our bi-weekly demos in Second Life: |
1. Download and install SL |
Go to the Second Life homepage, and create an account -- the account and the client software are free! Then download the software, and install it on your computer. Make sure your computer can handle Second Life -- you need a computer that could handle modern computer games and a broadband Internet connection! |
2. Survive orientation |
Second Life is pretty easy if you've ever played a computer game that required you to use an avatar -- your own little person who runs, jumps, and turns, has an inventory which includes clothes and things to wave about, and commands that make you laugh or sit. But the new user experience is a little trying if you haven't (bear with it!) and boring if you have. Allow one hour for orientation. |
3. Come be astonished! |
At 11am Pacific on Sundays, and 7pm Pacific on Mondays -- and whenever someone hires us or we feel like it -- we present the Odd Ball parties in Second Life. Click here to teleport to the party! This is a display and demonstration of some of Oddfellow Studios applications, a mind-blowing, euphoric graphical experience that literally has to be seen to be believed! |
