The Twinity currency is the Global, and you can earn a few by completing the tutorial and other available achievements, such as by exploring the world on foot, attending events, making friends and so on. On to a more positive note, I do like the Achievements system of Twinity. Self-expressions, why you no give me more? Inventory showing items marked with a 'not for female' symbol on it. I hope I’m not the only person who thinks this is annoying and highly problematic. This is even so for supposedly unisex items in the real world, such as vehicles.
I also can’t touch any of the clothes marked for male. Outfit options are also limited: jackets and tops share the same layer, dresses take up both the top and bottom layers, and so on meaning that you can’t, for example, wear a jacket over a dress. I find the confident stand annoying (head tilt, creepy smile), the happy walk cheesy (skipping, seriously?), the flirty walk too unnatural, and I’d rather not be blue or drunken. So like, you can’t stand happy, walk confident and afk flirty. Speaking of animations, you are only allowed to choose from one mood at a time. Animations panel showing available dance moves, emotions, flirt & tease and so on Changing it from “confident” to anything else will stop it. I guess I’m spoilt by Second Life.īy the way, if you created a female character and her head-tilt and creepy smile keep getting in the way of face customisation, it’s her animation. Create Face from Photo Toolīut, additional character problem: Other than that sex is binary in this world as with most virtual and game worlds, I noticed that there’s no way to change your sex once you’ve chosen one when you sign up. You’ll probably have better luck with a real photo. I tried it with one of my Second Life avatar’s snapshots… let’s just say I decided to use the default slider tools in the end. Nothing.Ĭharacter customisation is as expected with sliders, and there is a tool for you to try to create your real-life face from photos. There *is* a starter apartment waiting for you once you complete enough steps in the welcome tutorial, but it looks nothing like the image.

I initially signed up with my usual online name, but once I discovered that we can change our name any time by editing our profile on the website, I switched back to my common virtual world name (Naomi Skosh). Twinity is meant to be a true-to-scale virtual replica of the real world, so not surprisingly, you can link your Facebook account to it. And as Second Life is the other virtual world I’ve actually spent enough time in, I’ll be making many comparisons throughout. Note: Quite a few resized or cropped screenshots after the cut. A Second Life resident I follow posted about this virtual world named Twinity a couple of days ago, so being the unemployed online-game / bandwagon / occasional virtual-world junkie I am, I jumped right on it.
