A channel I subscribe to on youtube that does shop tours recently visited Michael Dubno’s shop. He shows a ZenXY like table that is very similar. It has some cool features he speaks about. He also mentions he has a github with the software. He mentions a commercial version. Not sure if he knows about the Zenxy. I figured the software might be something worth looking into.
The whole video is worth watching. Richard Garriott is also in the video for a short time at the beginning.
I only played UO and Shroud of the Avatar. NPCs always killed immersion for me. MMOs had the opportunity to get away from that. A few years ago I gave Richard a ride on my pedicab. I’m no fanboi, but it was nice to see he’s the person I expected him to be. Down to earth and a thinker.
