Realius

Here in the gourmet ghetto of North Berkeley we share office space with two other great startups, Sungevity & Sustainable Agriculture Education. People coming and going from Sungevity and Sage often stop by and ask us what we’re working on. The second question we most often hear is, “So you’re like Second Life?”

Real estate in Second Life does not exist in real life! The real estate you will find in Realius games is real. You will be able to see a house in our games and then go check out that house in a real life Sunday open house. Our games are built upon real life real estate in the same vein that Fantasy Baseball is built upon real baseball players’ statistics.

Second Life is a virtual, immersive 3D world where all sorts of things can happen. Second Life is not necessarily a game. Realius is different in that we are creating 2D real estate games.

One of our goals at Realius is to allow players to express and explore their aspirations in a social and fun way without the constraint of money. In this way we are somewhat similar to Second Life.
