XVEN (eXtensible Virtual ENvironment): The Next Evolution in Interactive Fiction
Concept:
XVEN, short for eXtensible Virtual ENvironment, originated from the concept of creating an interactive virtual space where users can communicate, play, and explore in a 2D environment. The name has evolved from 'E.V.E.', originally denoting 'Emulated Virtual Environment', with the change aiming to reduce confusion with existing brands.
