About

Doomed Ship is an independent sci-fi/horror MMO role-play environment for the Second Life virtual world platform. It opened to the public August 14th, 2007 and the RP group currently has a membership of 1,178 accounts.The environment is a personal, non-profit project which is maintained by myself and one coder.

In designing Doomed Ship I drew a lot of inspiration from movies such as Event Horizon, the Alien films, and many late 70's/early 80's science fiction. I was also greatly inspired by videogames such as Doom 3 and, much later, Dead Space.

At this time Doomed Ship is undergoing an extensive graphics overhaul. Second Life streams all textures, models and sounds in real time, so content must be designed with this in mind. Therefore environments are generally not as detailed as what you'd find in a typical console/PC videogame.
