How familiar are you with Unlikely? Startups The London-based company, founded by two Cambridge graduates, has recently become the center of attention thanks to a major breakthrough: a genius solution that allows small companies to create virtual worlds. online like World of Wacraft and Second Life to building simulations based on cities, biological systems and real economies.

SpatialOS itself gives creators the flexibility to create a digital world that can accommodate thousands of people at once real-time, far beyond capacity game servers conventional.

The simulations there are implemented continuously, also compatible with the complex computational processes needed to realize innovative ideas in creation. game. Developers Famous names such as Dean Hall (Day Z) and Henrique Olifiers (CEO of Bossa Studios, the team behind Worlds Adrift) have said that Improbable's creation will revolutionize the realm of gaming. multiplayer large scale.
