my response:

Hey Fritz,

I actually work for The Electric Sheep Company (www.electricsheepcompany.com). We design games and virtual experiences for large brands and media properties. Some of the games and virtual experiences we create within Second Life. Most recently we did a project with CSI:NY where Second Life was written into 2 episodes and there was a CSI:NY game in Second Life to tie the story line together.

Second Life itself is a virtual world (www.secondlife.com). The creators of Second Life are a company called Linden Lab (www.lindenlab.com). If you are interested in speaking with someone from Linden Lab I recommend you contact John “Pathfinder” Lester at [email].

If you are still interesting in discussing game design in Second Life and other virtual worlds with me, I’d be happy to. What time and day would be good for you?

Chris
