Renew

Sunday, January 3, 2010

One of the best elements and sometimes the worst elements of SL is that it is continually changing. People move in and move away from land plots.  Stores come and go.  Private sims appear and then disappear.  Many times it is the nicest parts that melt away with only screenshots left as reminders to SL fans.

But this isn't about sad change but happy change.  Tableau is one of my favorite destinations in SL.  It is a shopping sim with a shared design vision among the creators.  The only other sim to match it is Drowsy.

Tableau is constantly renewing itself.  When I first visited the sim, it's theme was the Louisiana bayou.  Then it changed to a New Orleans Mardi Gras look.  Now in it's newest incarnation, it has been turned into a small town that seems to have missed most of the 20th century.  Its stuck somewhere between 1920 to 1950.  Truthfully it looks like the film set from "The Night Of The Hunter".

Here are a few shots I took recently of the new design.
