About this blog and its purpose

There are many things to do in Activeworlds virtual reality environment. I've chosen my way. It is a way of a builder. There are also many ways to build. My way is to create a virtual town.

The town is Horizon City. It was established January 2000 and it quickly became one of the most popular cities back then, with hundreds of builders. Besides that the town serves as historic reminder of how things were at Activeworlds, it is still constantly developing virtual experience, displaying latest features and architectural possibilities.

In this blog I will keep track how the things are going in Horizon City and in Activeworlds community.

From vision to reality

I have the original blueprint of Horizon City still on paper. The blueprint was made late 1999 and filled with citizen names as they built in the city.

I've combined parts of the original blueprint and current map data.  You can see the names of early builders of the city as they were written to the original plan.
