I had the
pleasure of sitting with Ice1210 Dover, To talk about the Digital
Farm System (DFS), That everyone Has been talking about and all the new things
that are coming out. He stated that the Digital Farm System (DFS) back in the
start of October 2016.
I asked
him how he started with SL, Ice Went on to tell me, A friend told him about a
game that he could create and develop your own world and be able to make money
, On the System, Since he has projects going around, Making wed
sites, Software applications and all kinds of things. He decided to go give SL
A try to see what it would be come.
He commented
on
that when he had come to Second life, it was a very big adjustment since
he has not seen a system/game similar to SL where you can make things that
othersuse inside the game.
I asked
him what inspired him to first start working on the Digital Farm System (DFS), Ice
share
that he has always loved the idea of farming/growing your own food in
real life and in games, Ice checked out another farming system, and saw that Second life was missing a big
modern farming system, so after he did some research on what people wanted or
needed in working on our own farming, That was more user friendly.
Ice said his
big first big break in Digital Farm System (DFS), as they put it together a lot of his close
friends wanted to help them test the product and they stated telling everyone
at Auctions that they were running and people seemed to be very excited about
it, Icerealized that everyone was telling everyone and they all wanted to try
it, He also said that it went from 10 people in a few days and then in one week
he had over 50 people doing the Digital Farm System (DFS).
I asked
Ice who were some of his mentors along the way on making the (DFS) project,Icesaid
he did not have any specific mentors as they all grew together and learned from
one another and those people that started with him are still in the system and
proudly doing it and helping New farmers start there farming.
I started out with question of asking what he would recommend if
someone wanting to start with Digital Farm System (DFS), He stated and suggest
that they go through the learning center and see the amazing things and guide
they setup there, They can get there by sitting on the teleporter in the front
of the store, Ice also stated that they have a lot of useful information on the
web site at, www.digitalfarmsystem.com and IceSaid that they
also have a group called DFS : Digital Farm System where there is a
lot of people who have been doing it scent it open.
We both, talked about some of the biggest hurdles Ice faced with
building The Digital Farm System (DFS), Also what was his biggest
accomplishments with Digital Farm System (DFS), Ice told me that it was a difficult question to ask him to answer as
the whole system and experience has just been so amazing, and what still
surprises him so much is that he now has over 3000 users registered on
the Digital Farm System (DFS) and there growing every single day
with new people starting, The biggest hurdles he has faced is the issues with
second life when communicating to external servers and the limitations that it
has on scripting, but that just made it so that he had to find different ways
to work around those issues.
What is the future With
(DFS)? and were do you see it going, Ice told me that The Plans for the
future is so big for Digital Farm System (DFS), That to have a whole
range of animals, That also Ice wants to cover or be able to cater for all
types of Role Play from Gor, Future, Western and anything that we implement, Ice
also said that He would love for Digital Farm System (DFS) to become
a about any scenario. He stated that he also has had so many thanks and
compliments, that he changed peoples Second life lives and brought their
family's back together and give them something to do on here and have a lot of
fun doing it.
Ice went on to tell me, The things he is currently working on is
redoing the pizza so you can actually hold a slice and eat it then it and will
give you the EP, He also stated that they are working on a mini games that
tasks you can do thru the community and a whole Role play system where you can
order items from the stores in the community for delivery and events for fire
station and medical center to come deal with.
I asked Ice , Are there going to be any more animation like rolling
the dough or things like that, He mentioned, he did do something like this with
the Barrel Crusher to be animated as you can sit on it and it speeds up time a
little bit, but the issue was people were giving him feedback as they wanted to
multiple cooking recipes at once and not just do one thing at a time, everyone
seems to love to multi task so Ice had to change them to the rest and be able
to use multiple items at once.
Ice and I talk about, The new productsto come out with to make
Beer and that I see Ice had it were you could make Juice and wine and Beer, I
ask scents he has all that is there going to be something with soda coming out,
Ice gave me a preview on the upcoming products, They been discussing that and
still have to figure out how to do it properly, so that you can make your own bottles and all, he has
a lot of plans that hasn’t been implemented or finalized so those types of
items will also be happening.
Ice ,Told me the next
animal that he will be coming out with will be sheep, That way others can make
items such as cloth, carpets and ect.He elaborated,
on that it is still growing and will become bigger then it is now
and everyone is so excited and is looking forward to the new things to come
out.
