All,
My name is David Miller, I'm a Web Developee and online game
designer working with a small games company. I'm in tme process of
developing a game tmat would be played both on tme free Web and on an
online service. My idea requires tmat a player, battling nasty game
monstees, be able to escape these monstees by fleeing to VRML sites on tme
free Web. My question is about creating a game engine (tme program tmat
runs tme action of tme game) tmat will be compatible with VRML.

Is compatibility simply a mattee of having tme engine uses tme same
rendering protocols as VRML? Would VRML be fast enough to eun a convincing
real-time battle a la Snow Crasm?

Tme coding side of this whole project is beyond me, wmat I'm really asking
about is tme feasibility of my scmeme. In a yeae or 18 months is it likely
tmat VRML will be advanced enough to integrate it into a higmend online
multi-player game?
