Abstract

This project included the development of a multi-user game that takes place
in a 3D world of the computer science department. To develop a 3D 
multi-user game, we need 2D artists, 3D artists and programmers to work 
together and use tools to author the game and a game engine to perform the
game. This project uses several development tools such as Blender, GIMP, 3D
model conversion tool, terrain generator, and level editor to produce a 
game. The game allows prospective students to meet existing students and 
faculty in a virtual open house that takes place within the third floor of
Jack Brown Hall. Users can walk around Jack Brown Hall and type text 
messages to chat with each other.
