It’s built on the gaming engine, Torque from Garage Games instead of OpenSim. Seems counterproductive to me to base a VW on a proprietary gaming platform when there’s a perfectly good Open Source VW platform available. As near as I can tell from the article though, this isn’t really a VW with user created content but a FPS without any shooting.
