SAN FRANCISCO - January 24, 2013 -
Linden Lab, the makers of
Second Life®,
Creatorverse
TM,
Patterns
TM, and other shared creative spaces, today
announced that it has acquired the iPad game
Blocksworld. Linden Lab will offer the game
globally and will release it for new platforms, as the Blocksworld
team joins the company.
Blocksworld is an iPad game in which players use cubes, wedges,
rockets, wheels, motors and more to easily create 3D models of
anything they can imagine - from race cars to animals to robots and
more. These models come alive with realistic physics simulation,
and users can play, interact with, or even explode their creations.
As with Linden Lab’s
Creatorverse, Blocksworld allows users to share
their creations with others to explore, play with, and remix to
make them their own.
“Blocksworld is a great fit with what we do at Linden
Lab,” said Rod Humble, CEO of Linden Lab. “It’s a
very user-friendly complement to our portfolio of shared creative
spaces. We’re happy to have the Blocksworld team join Linden
Lab and are looking forward to bringing Blocksworld to the App
Store worldwide soon!”
