Discovery Grid moves from OpenSim to O3DE alternative
- Discovery Grid is moving from OpenSim to the Open 3D Engine platform, also known as O3DE, due to declining user engagement and the limitations of OpenSim technology.
- Active accounts had fallen to 26% of their 2019 levels, while monthly active users and total regions decreased to 19% and 55% of previous numbers, respectively.
- O3DE promises technical improvements including more land space, advanced features, and physics simulation.
- Discovery Grid implemented a 90-day transition plan, offering free region backups to landowners and coordinating inventory transfers for users.
- The move is a strategic pivot for Discovery Grid, which will continue under a new virtual world platform based on O3DE technology.
- The closure reflects broader challenges within the OpenSim ecosystem, particularly regarding viewer compatibility and the platform’s struggle to keep pace with modern virtual world capabilities.
- O3DE is a fully open-sourced Amazon Lumberyard project built on top of the CryEngine game platform technology, and promises to be a more advanced virtual-world builder.
- OpenSim is losing steam and user motivation for innovation, as development stagnates and the platform struggles to keep pace with modern expectations.
- However, the hypergrid feature is something users might miss, as it enables easy, cross-platform travel between different virtual worlds.
- Regardless, the shift highlights a larger trend of established virtual worlds looking for alternatives to OpenSim technology to improve user experiences.
