Morningstars own interest in multi-user technology was awakened from his efforts with AI on that game, something that he comments lead directly to one of the key ideas in Habitat, which was that the actual behavior of actual human beings was much richer, more interesting, and more unpredictable than anything we could program.
Morningstar and Farmer also credit George Lucas, who they have previously noted gave us the freedom to undertake a project that for all he knew was both impossible and insane.
Morningstar agrees, noting that the answer to the problem was simply to take into account the effect that users would have on their world though the actual job of working out what that effect would be was far from simple.
Morningstar and Farmer jumped right into the uncharted ocean of building online communities and communication networks in 1985 - when many others hadn't even dreamed of the idea.
Morningstar, a cyberspace-design and development consultant, was one of the founders of Electric Communities (Communities.com) where he led the development of communications protocols and object technology.
Morningstar and Farmer truly represent "first penguins" in the development of online communities, having paved the way for the rest of the industry.
