Overview

Tootsville can refer to two things. Tootsville V is a video game, and within that game, Tootsville (city) is a major location.

Let's talk about the game.

Tootsville is an online, massively multiplayer video game being produced by a loosely-organized community effort. The game world is family-friendly, with activities for all ages to enjoy, and features non-violent problem-solving, educational and cultural outreaches, and role-playing adventures.

Game Play Features

• Non-violent game play.
• Characters can customize their appearance, including bright primary skin colors and patterns.
• Characters have no inherent gender.
• Persistent virtual reality world. Characters can build houses, plant trees, and build other things in the game world, and they'll still be there when they return.
• The black and white diamonds system helps players identify children and behave responsibly around them

Technology Features

• HTML5 game technology runs on most devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smart phones, with Mozilla Firefox or other modern web browsers. There is no software to download.
• The mesh networking system uses a resilient, decentralized system to distribute computation and simulation work across all players. This means that the game is less reliant upon massive, centralized server clusters like a traditional, 1990's-style “cloud” architecture would be.
