"The Well: Ultimum" By Loki Eliot

If you haven't had enough of Halloween, or just appreciate a good scary adventure, there's something waiting for you in the Escapades sim. Noted builder Loki Eliot has come up with a horror-themed game, "The Well: Ultimum." The fourth and final installment of his "The Well" series, players follow the clues left behind by a frightened boy, piecing together what's going on  So does this experience compare to Loki's previous work?

SL Video: "Draxtor Plays...Leap Motion! "

Draxtor Despress in this video gives the Leap Motion controller, which earlier this year Linden Lab was working on a code for using it for Second Life. While demonstrating it, he drops by Loki Eliot's "The Well."

"Finally found some time to try the Leap Motion gesture detection thingie. Pretty darn cool! I can now envision a glorious future where Second Life residents are not disturbed out of their immersion any longer by having to click mice and keys!!!

"Important note: the Leap is very powerful and you can configure GameWave to use BOTH hands and all sorts of movements and finger combos so this vid really just scratches the surface....

"The Well"

Usually during October, I'll have done a review or two of a haunted location in Second Life. This year however, I just didn't have time. Covering the Terms of Service controversy took quite a bit of time,
and the time had to come from somewhere.

So I'll have to mention someone else's review. "The Poultry Report" talked about an exhibit by Loki Eliot's "The Well." Uccello Poultry called the haunt a "must see," even with it's 100L fee for the needed HUD.
