    So I was at the store today looking at computer games, and I found a Jumpstart educational game called "3D virtual world". It had a cool holographic cover. I looked on the back and was very surprised to see the Unity logo.
    I didn't think there were any Unity MMO's yet. I played what seems to be a demo on the company's site, and I'm not sure if it's really even an MMO.
    I'd never heard of this game before, but it seems like a pretty cool thing for Unity, Jumpstart seems to be practically the EA of educational titles.

    Heres the link to the demo:

    I don't think its an MMO, just a virtual 3D world..no multiplayer involved.

    It looks polished very well though and nice to know this is in the shop :O

    It does look quite nice, although, it might be kind of bad that a product focussing on education contains several obvious grammatical mistakes....

    Bamboo Bunch was probably the first Unity MMO. (Educational for young kids.) We keep slogging away on a shoestring budget, but we continually make progress. (Quest system now online, quiz system almost ready, etc.)

    Pretty soon we'll be completely drowned out by news from Cartoon Network and Funcom, but we'll hang in there. :wink:
