Well, a small arcade is here anyway! I had some empty space and some extra prims so I decided an arcade would be fun after seeing a skee-ball game on SL Exchange. This lead to me purchasing about 8 arcade games and placing them on the top two floors of Union Micro.

But wait, there’s more! The creator also made an open-source framework called “OpenArcade” that I’m looking into. I kind of need to diversify a little bit more from my mostly business related line of products, so arcade games could be very fun! I already have my first idea for a game, I just need to figure out how to do it, and how to create the artwork and sounds. I’m good at creating/sampling sounds and textures from real life objects, but not so nice at creating things from scratch – so this could prove to be a challenge. I’m hoping that my wife can help me out in the pixel-art (sprites) department!

There’s a prize counter for the arcade games as well! Although it’s empty at the moment, you can still earn tickets for use when we create some things to put inside the prize counter. Just touch the ticket dispenser for your roll of tickets, and make sure you wear it before you play any games.

This arcade is pretty exciting for me, I’m not sure why. I just think it’s so nifty, and the games are so well-done!
