High Fidelity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kitely Market was designed from the beginning to be a multi-platform marketplace. To that end, a\u00a0year ago we announced our content liberation front initiative for helping Second Life content creators prepare their content for sale to buyers outside of Second Life. At that time Kitely Market only worked inside the Kitely grid, but a few months later we expanded its\u00a0scope significantly by allowing sales\u00a0to avatars on\u00a0any Hypergrid-enabled OpenSim grid. Today we’re announcing our intention to expand the scope of Kitely Market even further: Kitely Market will support delivery to the next-generation virtual worlds platform\u00a0High Fidelity<\/a>, once that system becomes\u00a0mature enough to accept deliveries.<\/p>\n

If you are a Second Life content creator then Kitely Market and the content migration tools that it provides can help you prepare your content for monetization outside of Second Life. You can use Kitely Market today to sell to hundreds of Hypergrid-enabled grids from one online store, and soon you’ll be able to use that same store to sell to users of other virtual world platforms as well.\u00a0As Kitely Market\u00a0adds support for more virtual worlds, your items will gain a larger market.

Content Liberation Front update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kitely Market is one of our main assets and we’ve been working hard to make it into the best multi-platform virtual-goods marketplace. There are many more features that we want\u00a0to add to Kitely Market, so we need to prioritize what we work on. We’ve therefore decided not to spend time implementing the marketplace listing export functionality that we had described\u00a0in our Content Liberation Front\u00a0blog post. To date no merchant has requested to get this data, and we feel that investing our resources to support this functionality doesn’t make business sense. If there are any merchants that were counting on this data then they can send us a request (by email) and we’ll send them their listings’ metadata as a tab-delimited file.\u00a0Since creating this data requires a time-consuming manual process, and we want to be able to focus our energy on the continued development of our services, we will only accept such requests\u00a0until November 1, 2014.<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that this change affects only the listings metadata, but it doesn’t affect your ability to backup your actual items (the products themselves). You can backup your items whenever you want, in several ways: first, you can\u00a0put them in a box in a Kitely world and export that world to an OpenSim Archive (OAR) file that is saved\u00a0on your computer; second, you can send the items\u00a0via the Hypergrid to your avatar on another grid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
