When selling their wares, creators accumulate a third currency, Bling, which can be cashed out for real-world money. Gamers earn coins by playing Whirled games, while Bars are purchased using credit cards, PayPal, SMS, Target pre-paid cards and other payment methods. Whirled's library so far provides over 12 complete, multiplayer example games, including Corpse Craft and Brawler Whirled.Ĭreators can sell their games and virtual goods to users for two different type of virtual currency, Coins and Bars. "To kick-start creativity, Three Rings offers the source code and assets for all Three Rings' original games and other content as examples for developers to explore and modify to their own nefarious ends." "Three Rings is taking a 'ridiculously open' approach to Whirled by publishing metrics, transparent business terms and a large part of the code-base as open-source," says Three Rings CTO and co-founder Michael Bayne. The platform's Flash ActionScript APIs allow for avatars, pets, and toys, supporting multiplayer games with arbitrary numbers of players driven by client or server-side code. Whirled is open to player creations and customizations, inviting developers to upload a variety of content, from image furniture to mini-MMO games. Independent MMO developer Three Rings ( Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, Bang! Howdy) launched Whirled, a browser-based, "player-created virtual world" that serves as a platform for developers to create and sell custom multiplayer games and virtual goods.
