I’ve updated the Patreon-only release of the Froznovia paperwork batch. There were a handful of fixes that I had to apply. I also resolved some consistency issues, cleaned up the source files & made them available.

I’ve also added the prisoner case file cover sheet template. And I’m finishing up an update on the case files available in the Prison Cell Block D-5. It’s boring stuff, I just made the photos muddier, and I’m trying to make everyone’s fingerprints unique and to shift everything around just slightly.

There! More documents, mugshots this time! I’ve been practicing filling these out and giving them a little bit of character. Two based on avatars, and two that are Froznovia OCs.
Not entirely satisfied with those, I’m waiting for some artworks to make them a little more unique looking.

I have, so far, resisted using the triple mugshot format. But that’s only because it doesn’t fit.

Yes. Alina was always based on Ariane Yeong.

I’m also adding this new template to the Patreon rewards.

These are also in the prisoner file pad in Prison Cell Block D-5 in VRChat.

Well yes! I’ve been playing Signalis again, how can you tell?

So this is yet another idea for horrific, dystopian, prisoner living conditions. If you pack these tightly enough I believe you could have 6 in 9 square meter? Crazy, I know.

The thing that has been eating most of my time is building these official forms that are designed to match the Froznovia aesthetic and linguistic madness.

• F-29 is a procurement form.
• F-83 is a prisoner transfer form.
• FZ-17 is a Froznovia-specific report for prisoner punishment. I’m still working on it…

These are VERY fun to make and have been put together in LibreOffice Draw. Probably not the best tool for producing prints, but it is simple enough and does all the things I wanted.

Very fun, but also very slow. Getting the right terms in multiple languages and keeping layouts consistent takes more time than I’d like. What am I going to do with these? I don’t know… they make nice props in SL and VR, and I could release printable files if people want to use them for IRL role-play.

The low-poly for the warden’s hat is nearly finished. I checked the polygon count and got kind of upset. It had a handful of triangles above my existing model, though it was more optimized and more detailed. And so, I took a hacksaw to it and trimmed all the excess fat. I’m going to give it a test ride, just to see if I like it.

On the gun side of things, I’ve finished (overly)detailing the grip plates and compacted all the UVs into their final form, added a textured section and more markings, with the addition of the Froznovia procurement mark, I wonder if I should update some of the other products in this line to reflect the updated “identity” of it.

I also don’t think I ever uploaded a good picture of the back strap so here is one.

The hat is nearly finished for the warden outfit, and I will likely release it separately at this rate. I began unwrapping the hat before I realized the chinstrap/rope part wasn’t finished. I’m probably going to make the symbols on it removable, and/or maybe not include them. I’m not sure how I feel about people walking around with my facility identifiers.

And then there is the sprawling Froznovia mess. It initially started as a simple map to help me locate places in relation to each-others, but it kinda turned into this.

It is far too big for a Second Life region (300+ meters wide) and probably too big to optimize anyway. The more I look at it, the more the C-1/C-2 temporary blocks are bothering me. Especially now that I’ve placed a construction site for the future block B-6. Maybe there should only be a singular C block? And what if, instead of standing on its own, it was sandwiched between two B blocks?

Decisions, decisions…

Also yes, it is now official and canon, Cell block D-5 is right here, under the school/administration building.

Don’t ask about D-2 and D-1.
