Trust will initially be Web-based. The characters will be represented in 3D. The first iterations of the characters have been developed in MAYA and Shockwave, with some of the Angel characters tested in Java. We are currently testing interoperability of platforms before finalising the language of the characters and world (we are currently testing the programming and scripting languages Java, JavaScript, XML and Lingo as well). At present, Shockwave and Java provide the 3D environment while XML and JavaScript provide interactivity and user information. Although we would like to become 'plugin -independent', there are some features that we could supplement with the use of Flash or Director so we may in fact be using Lingo in some cases. We are further considering building a version of the game entirely in Flash and related Macromedia products
