Hijacking the STRESS TEST

Before we begin, all images are courtesy of HG Safari. I was so busy during this event, I was unable to take pictures due to the 'behind the scenes' wizardry which took place. 

The twisted minds of Dirty Helga and Spax Orion brought you an 'Out of this world' gaming system, IMAGE. After a month of BETA TESTING, it was determined that the system is READY for normal use and patches will roll out over time to address issues with the system.

IMAGE: IMAGE Matrix Action Game Engine

On March 11, 2026, HG SAFARI came to Ozone Miniverse for a STRESS TEST of the game engine, completely oblivious to the diabolical plans Spax and Helga came up with for the presentation. Upon arrival, everyone gathered for a short discussion about previous excursion before being treated to a show by our Pigeons, Guano and Stool.

Fun facts about the GAME and the BRAND NEW NPC framework which powers the birds was discussed. After the PIGEONS calls out an ALARM, Spax, our host, LEAVES THE ARENA and an ALT OBSERVES THE GAMEPLAY

THE GAME ENGINE handled having 10+ avatars in the game zone but there is a minor issue with the Kill Board which will be resolved in a patch. The game experience was a lot of fun. I wish I could have snagged some pictures but it was more important for me to take notes so I know what we need to fix next. Just watching the game and people playing it provided me with all of the data I needed.

Suffice it to say, I was very pleased with the performance of this engine under load and knowing what the average use case would be, I decided to allow my guests to take a copy of the game they were playing. The kill board issue is not present under a much lighter load.

Five Against ONE?

Dirty Helga and I decided that the best way to RELEASE IMAGE is when it is UNEXPECTED. We LOVE SURPRISES... so... When Spax returns to the ARENA... THE BIRDS put on a new show and call all of the participants back to the demonstration area...

In a simulated act of RAGE QUITTING... the entire scene is DELETED and everything is made BLACK... regardless of viewer settings, all falls to a dead silence as the birds are contemplating something worse than placing 20+ avatars into a MEAT GRINDER before sending them home **last time we sent them all swimming**.

THEN IN A SUDDEN FLASH, THE ARENA FILLS WITH FIREWORKS

The Pigeons announce that all visitors attended the 
OFFICIAL IMAGE RELEASE PARTY

We had an issue with the permissions, for some stupid reason, they were unable to take home a copy, so I had to manually hand IMAGE out to each guest. 

IMAGE IS A GIFT TO THE COMMUNITY and it must STAY THAT WAY. CC-BY-NC 

We had a delightful group from all over Opensim, I will be very interested in getting feedback from the users who took IMAGE home with them.

SOON, IMAGE will appear in the Opensimworld Script Area along with instructions on obtaining a complete build.
