Revenue Sharing
Developers receive 75% of transactions using Blue Mars Dollars.
Land Size
In Blue Mars, developers of all sizes are free to build on as much space as they need. The recommended maximum terrain size for a City is 8 km by 8 km due to technical considerations. For the best performance, we recommend that City developers build on a terrain that is 4 square kilometers or less (for example 2 km x 2 km). The apparent size of a City is virtually unlimited. Although Avatars cannot venture beyond the boundaries of the terrain, landscape features like water, mountains, and sky can extend to the horizon past the terrain.
Included City Data
Avatar Reality is extending the amount of included City Data from the standard 250MB to 1GB. City Data represents the total compressed file size of all content inside a city.
