Our Journey

2017 – RTCSL & SLDA

Started Rail & Train Center in SecondLife with Sweetdebbie. Built the first WebMap Position System. Founded SLDA (Debbie’s Airport) and acquired land for immersive roleplay.

2018 – GridPlay.net & VenTalkie

Expanded into tools and services for SecondLife roleplay. Registered the GridPlay.net domain and launched VenTalkie for in-world communication.

2022 – Sole Proprietorship

GridPlay Productions officially registered in Ontario, Canada. Focus shifted to scalable roleplay tools and infrastructure.

2024 – Network Integration

Revamped all SL-based services to work seamlessly together using GPaONE as the unified account system. Introduced GridPay4 as a fictional currency for roleplay (no real-world value).
