SansarSansar, Inc · entered 5 Dec 2018SansarSansar, Inc · entered 5 Dec 2018Until it’s epic. When we took over the Sansar platform in late April of this year Sansar was not operational and had not been maintained for roughly six months. I started building a team comprised of new engineers and legacy staff from both Linden Lab and Wookey Technologies, previous owners of the Sansar platform. After a few months we were able to restore Sansar to its previous functionality and began adding features. This was a significant accomplishment to rescue this advanced technology. We were also successful in re-engaging the Sansar Community which had been neglected and overlooked during the period of time when Sansar was not maintained. We are now on the cusp of becoming the first Metaverse technology capable of interfacing with a smart TV. We are starting with LG Electronics and plan to approach both Samsung and HiSense for a similar deal. We have now built a team of roughly 30 creators, engineers and product managers that are executing an aggressive roadmap to add features and technologies not currently available in any Metaverse experience.read 11 Sep 2026about 6 months7 years 9 months1556%Overdueby 7 years 3 months

A game is in Early Access when the store lists it among its genres; the clock starts on the day the ledger saw it enter or, for a game that launched into Early Access, on the release date the store prints. The promise is the developer’s own questionnaire answer, kept word for word; only ranges and single figures are compared, open answers are listed as open, and answers the parser could not read say so. Graduations are recorded from 3 Sep 2026, so earlier years undercount them. A game whose questionnaire has not been read yet says “not read yet” under No promise (how). Data by SteamPeaks.com.
