"The vision is in the player's hands: it is what you see and what you bring to the world!".

Zachh Barkley is a 21-year entrepreneur [and self-described magic fanatic] who easily could - like some of his peers - play video games all day and goof off killing virtual monsters.
-
Instead he opted to surround himself with capable collaborators at this young age, learn as much as he can about 3D modeling, scripting and marketing, all this with one goal in mind: to shape the digital world just as so many other global residents of Second Life before him.
-
That bringing virtual enjoyment to thousands of avatars all over the world from his humble apartment in Madison, Wisconsin makes him a pretty penny may seem to some like magic, but at the end of the day - it is simple ingenuity & passion at work!
-
Enjoy a journey into a universe full of wonder and...some loud spells!
