David Post
David Post.

He is also involved as an executive producer in a company called Nextpert News Network, which keeps track of trends in media and showbiz, and which he runs with his wife, Katlean de Monchy.

FaceBook group for Next Island


Production

Next Island is being developed by Neverdie Studios for the planet partner Next Island LLC. "Next Island will officially launch in May 2009." [5] The domain nextisland.com was registered on the 9th December 2007. [6] "Next Island has been in production since August 2008." [7] The official press release announcing Next Island was published on the 16th September 2008. [8] Furthermore, Next Island was announced at Carolines comedy club in New York City on the 22th September 2008. In September 2008 a statement on the official website www.nextisland.com claimed "Next Island’s revolutionary virtual world will launch later this year."[9] On the 14th May 2009 Next Island creator and chairman David Post asked for numbers of users of virtual worlds on a public forum [10] The planned release was postponed several times considering corresponding statements on several websites. [5] Next Island private Beta started in December 2009. [11] Open Beta was announced to start in January 2010 together with a call for sign-ups and the promise of free gifts. [12] Another (outdated?) Next Island website mentions gifts in the form of a "Free Starter Kit" containing a Next Island Hunting weapon, EGGOO launcher, time travel crystal, golf club, beach outfit and towel. [13]

(Game) World

The Next Island website contained a "history" page giving information about the discovery of Next Island but the page does not exist anymore and the history of Next Island might have changed... [14] Next Island will introduce three different game worlds respectively game ages as they can be accessed by time travel. Those are the paradisiac islands Tutoro Te and Kupu Wahi, the amazon world 400 BC and the ice age.

Gameplay

Considering the activities listed on the Next Island website [15], the list of professions Next Island Interim COO Cindy Cook posted [16] and the statements regarding the borders of development ("we cannot code") by Jon Jacobs, head of the developer Neverdie Studios [7] suggest that the gameplay will not really differ from what is already known on Planet Calypso.

Next Island Origins

Next Island Origins Preview 'Screenshot' by NI PR Consultant Erik Reynolds saying: "It's amazing what a bunch of rogue scientist are capable of doing when combining their skills against a common enemy. They popped the lock of that the US embassy window shut closed 'I've hooked up a simple battery and override system to kill the alarms.
Grant was sweating profusely as we secured the files of the embassy labs. 'My code is nothing without the proper sequence for the master formula' he raged 'We must find it or risk everything'
We searched for hours but they expertly hid the formula from our prying eyes and intrusive computer viruses.
This calls for drastic measures."

Next Island Origins is an iPhone/iPad game in Branching-path gamebook style. It's a prequel to Next Island set in the 1980s Cold War era: "Origins tells the story that led to the discovery of a futuristic parallel dimension – Next Island. Also, players will discover through imagery and a cold war sci-fi narrative why the island was founded, and how the doorway to the futuristic land that is known as the Next Island virtual world was opened." said Erik Reynolds, PR Consultant for Next Island in an interview with EntropiaTimes.[17]
