Log 02 · Why bring it back

Why we're doing this

I played Whirled when it was still running. When Three Rings shut it down and later open-sourced the code, that codebase sat there for years: a whole virtual world, public, and mostly untouched. Second Wind is me picking it back up: getting it running without Flash, cleaning up what's broken, and building it back into something people can actually log into again.

It's one developer right now, working in the open, moving at the pace of someone doing this because they want it to exist, not on a launch deadline.
