blaxxun NEWSLETTER No. 1, January 1999 First of all, WELCOME BACK and a late HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you had a good rest and you are ready for more fantastic VRML worlds in 1999. Here at blaxxun it's full steam ahead and we would like to take a moment to thank you for staying with us, your ideas and comments, taking the time to participate in our surveys, and of course reading this newsletter :) Lots of new projects are in the loop like virtual share-holder meetings over the internet, online shopping, virtual offices, virtual campus and more. So stay tuned and accompany us into the next millennium. We had a great start into the new year, especially for ColonyCity. Our online community has been nominated for the "Milia d'Or Awards 1999" in the category Family Entertainment - Leisure. Now you have the opportunity to vote for your favorite City by participating in the online vote for the "People's Choice Award". Just click on the URL and vote for ColonyCity, category Family Entertainment - Leisure. milia.com =================== ONLINE COMMUNITIES PRODUCT NEWS =================== ColonyCity ====== ColonyCity was launched in June 1998 and since then over 38,000 people have immigrated and the number keeps growing. To keep the City from bursting, we opened new suburbs with more apartments to settle down and a Fun Park to relax and hang out. In 1999 new colonies such as the Entertainment, the Cyberhood (with games), the Downtown (with virtual offices), the Campus Colony etc will be added. After weeks of construction, the virtual ball game stadium will also open soon. This will be the most elaborate VRML world in ColonyCity so far, with lots of interactivity to offer. One extension a lot of you are eagerly waiting for will also come in the new year. Everybody will have the possibility to incorporate their own worlds within the City. So you can add your own garden and invite people over to a winter BBQ.

Visit virtual Paris and talk to the natives without having to worry about getting caught in a snowstorm. All the streets and unique parts of Paris are available now and can be claimed by the visitors. You just have to get the paintbrush out and color the walls! The new photo-realistic place called "La Place des Vosges" has been added to virtual Paris. This is something you have probably never seen before in VRML. The place really looks fantastic and you are tempted to go to the next bar for a cappuccino and an éclair and not going back to work. One highlight in December was that Woody Allen held a press conference on December 22nd and visitors could join the conference in virtual Paris.

For all people who also like to chat in 2D, the new features can be tested in ColonyCity. HTML Links Now you can type HTML links starting with http:// or ftp:// in the chat text area and they will be displayed in a different color and underlined. A click on such a link will display valid HTML URLs in a new browser window. Smile Icon Just type the word "smile" in the text box and the word will immediately be replaced with a smiley icon in the chat window. At the moment this is the only image that can be displayed in ColonyCity's Contact Java but more are to come. Text Color At any position in the text, you can change the text color to any of the following predefined colors: orange, yellow, green, red, blue, purple, black and white. You just have to type a double slash followed by any of the color names above. Example: //blue HELLO or //blueHELLO Hello will be displayed in blue until a new color token is detected.
