I’m dreaming of a dystopian, Dickensian world. . .

Recently, I was chatting with a couple friends and I expressed my idea to create a new region in-world. The idea is to create a Dark Victorian Steampunk sim. You see, I love Caledon, but it can be a little too clean for me at times. I like the grimy atmosphere presented within a Dickensian world.

More Skydiving Lifts with added Victorianism!

For some time, I had intended to add to my line of skydiving lifts.

My weakest point has always been original creative expression, thus I have always found it extremely challenging to come up with a logo that simply is not ugly. (more…)

‘Tis about time . . .

Once, long ago, a newbie named Newbe came unto this land. With neither means nor merit, he endeavored to develop such developments as to fund his mere existence. Business was not good for this newbie named Newbe, yet he persevered and lo! unto this newbie named Newbe came the light. From this light, there came a voice saying “Let there be a storefront. Build it and they will come. And this storefront thou shalt name ‘Writer Steam Works.’” And so it was done. (more…)
