Here is the result of a little visit in the Wasteland sims, I hadn’t been here in a long time.

Performance wise, even without the shadows enabled, this is a fairly busy sim when it comes to visuals, and because of it, my FPS where abysmal (i apologise for not using anti aliasing for the pictures).I suppose all the jagged buildings blend the borders between the parcels more than would classic/neat builds. I spent a little time visiting some of the various builds, especially Penny Patton’s little shop/warehouse. There was a few underground tunnels to visit too.

I visited this place a while ago and it seems to have evolved for the better in general.

I do have some criticism about the project although. In my opinion the sims are really densely packed, it almost feels a bit unnatural for a wasteland themed sim, unless you’re thinking about , lets say the DC area in Fallout3 , but i think my frame rate would say thank you to a less tightly packed layout.

This is the kind of projects that would probably benefit from being hosted on OpenSim, the whole “Sell products to pay the land it is sold upon” pressure, even if it isn’t as obvious as the rest of SL is still very present and tend to spoil the experience a bit. Again a grid solely dedicated to the project would offer better performances and a more unified experience.

Another thing i feel the estate is missing is a cohesive soundscapes, most of the radios are nice but the changes of style and mood are very aggressive, where you would expect a very discreet musical ambience like you would get in Fallout3’s desert. (Although some are actually quite nice and fitting)

Fixed a bug that would cause the IM blocking button to present a behavior opposite to it’s current state.

IMs are now blocked when the IM Button is RED, The color coding of the isolation set being that green = permitted.

Fixed a minor permission error that would make the object show as nomod, nocopy, notransfer.

Come check it out, even if it’s only to have a look, many products have no a lower price and there is a nice and comfy little dungeon in the back to unwind.

I made most of the Baroness pictures yesterday but I was too tired to do a blog post, so I’m putting it here. By the way, I’m not updating the current shop with the new perms and stuffs since I’m going to replace it as soon as I’m done with all this.

The satellite vendors should be up to date the second I’m done with each objects, the perms and new layers are free for those who already bought the product obviously.

Some more eye candy, feel free to express your opinion.

Same stuff as the past few days.

I have done a bit less today I’m trying to recover from a double hard disk failure, nothing major but backing everything up does take me some time.

I’ve done a little round of update on those two outfits, namely adding extra layers, i had to rebuild a couple of textures, fix a few of the concubine skirts that where using the wrong texture (and somehow i never noticed)

Also the latex concubine arm flaps are now flexiprims.

Stocking the new shop means I’m also looking back at my inventory, see what should be retired and what is still up to today’s standards. So I’m doing a little update on some clothes, namely adding extra layers, and switching to mod/copy/notrans, i’m redoing some products pictures so they are at the level of the most recent ones.

I know, nothing new, but I’m doing a new shop, i might aswell make sure the goods exposed look decent.
