Be One of the First Mac Alpha Testers for There.com!
Do you want to be among the pioneers exploring the virtual world of There.com on your Mac computer? We’re excited to announce that we’re seeking five dedicated macOS 14 users to test an Alpha version of There.com!
The test client is feature complete and does almost everything the Windows version does, but most likely will be unstable in the early phase. A current version of macOS 14 Sonoma is required. There is no minimum hardware spec because if your machine can run macOS 14, it can run the There.com virtual world platform.
We’re looking for testers who can articulate their experiences with precision. Clear, detailed reports outlining any encountered errors are crucial for our Engineers to address issues promptly. The There.com macOS 14 Alpha test client will be closed to anyone outside of the small, approved group of users. Testers should not re-distribute the test Mac client version to other Thereians.
If you are interested in testing the There.com virtual world on a Mac computer, email Feedback@thereinc.com with your username and verify which version of the macOS 14 client you are running. Enter “Mac Alpha Testing” as your email subject line. Only five Alpha testers will be chosen from the list of applicants. The five users will be invited to test the software through TestFlight, the macOS utility testing software.
Please note, there is no projected release date for a macOS 14 There.com client. We are just at the very beginning stages of testing a Mac client version of our virtual world.
Free Spirit Festival
Grab your tie-dye shirt and your hippie pants and get ready to feel the groove because the Free Spirit Festival is back, spreading its bohemian vibes across the digital realm of There.com! From April 14th to the 20th, we invite you to join us in a virtual celebration of music, peace, and the enduring spirit of RedStormRizing.
For years, the Free Spirit Festival has been a beacon of harmony and celebration of music, drawing kindred souls from all corners of There.com. This year the celebration honors the festival founder and creator, RedStormRizing. The RedWalk Cove neighborhood and the Thereian community will come together during the festival to honor the memory of RedStormRizing and her legendary virtual neighborhood creation, RedWalk Cove.
Nestled off the coast of Comet on a private island, RedWalk Cove is a testament to creativity and harmony, where every nook and cranny whispers of its creator’s boundless imagination. RedStormRizing built the small island community around a secret cove surrounded by sandy shores and grassy high ridges overlooking the ocean. There are over 40 unique builds scattered throughout the island community of RedWalk Cove. It takes a few hours just to thoroughly explore and visit every unique location.
As you wander through the lush landscapes RedStormRizing crafted – with waterfalls cascading into crystal-clear ponds, vibrant flowers swaying in the breeze, and whimsical houses tucked amid the greenery – you’ll discover her unmistakable touch, often accompanied by the playful presence of the abomination known as Keith scattered throughout. The mystical creature escaped the Circus of Doctor Seven and invaded the island of RedWalk Cove. Keith adapted to the terrain and weather rather quickly and soon multiplied.
RedStormRizing was more than just a builder; she was a maestro of melodies and a champion of sharing her passion for music by bringing the community together at events. Music permeated every corner of RedWalk Cove, infusing it with a rhythm and energy unlike any other.
Join us as we pay homage to RedStormRizing’s legacy during the Free Spirit Festival, where music will flow like a gentle stream and peace will reign supreme. Let’s come together in the virtual embrace of RedWalk Cove, united by our love for music, our reverence for creativity, and our shared desire to spread joy and harmony wherever we roam in the virtual world of There.
