Almost a month ago Icculus announced in his .plan file he was porting a game called Second Life to Linux, and included 3 screenshots.

Second Life is a fascinating experiement in the MMO genre. In some ways made for developers, it lets you own land, create and trade various items, all with a built in content creation tool. From the What Is page:

It is a palette for creative self-expression like nothing you have ever seen. Jump in, find a sandbox, and start building.

Icculus’ timing was amazing, as Cory Doctorow, Copyfighter, EFF employee, and sci-fi author, was having a book release party in the game.

Already available for Mac OS X and Windows, I’m anxiously awaiting the Linux port to try this out.
