Second Life Mobile Private Alpha: New Build 2024.4.649

Daniel Voyager Leave a comment

On 15th April 2024 a new build was released for Second Life Premium Plus users that are currently testing out the Second Life Mobile private alpha app. The Second Life mobile team have now rolled out new additional updates to avatar rendering as well as avatar shapes and deformers.

This is very exciting news and another step forward in the right direction I think towards the beta phrase (expected mid-late 2024). This latest build version is now available to download for iOS and Android users. Good progress and development has happened since the start of 2024. More feedback is needed though to make the Second Life mobile app even more awesome.

What’s New In Version 2024.4.649

  • Avatar rendering improvements
  • Avatar shape and deformers now reset correctly
  • Attachments placement fixed

Hopefully soon the lab will include those on Premium accounts and then basic accounts to help test the Second Life mobile app. No timeframe has been given for when this will happen.

I will blog on the latest Second Life mobile development updates soon.
