MILLBRAE, CALIFORNIA - June 10, 2002 - As a follow up to the launch on May 17th of the Muse development platform and Muse Lite application, Muse Communications (www.musecorp.com) announced today the launch of the Muse user and developer community web site, MuseTribes. (www.musetribes.com)

MuseTribes is an online community web site designed specifically for community interaction, the sharing of Muse content and exchange of ideas. Core MuseTribes features include user forums, developer support and Muse content downloads. These are critical community features as Muse developers begins to create their own custom, 3D Muse sites with their own multi-media and shared web pages.

Already, new Muse site templates, ereps (i.e. avatars) and user generated forum topics have begun to appear on the site. In the near future, a Quake 3 BSP loader—for importing Quake 3 levels into the Muse environment—will be released, thus enabling developers to create custom Muse sites based on Quake 3 levels that they design.

“We are very excited to launch this vital piece in the Muse community network,” said Gavin Cheng, founder and lead designer for Muse Communications, “With the launch of MuseTribes the hope is that the Muse development community will start to grow organically and become an exciting forum for the exchange of ideas, thus contributing to the expansion of the Muse network.”
