A NEW PHASE IN DEVELOPMENT

So many changes have been made to Dismayland that we needed a NEW MAP! We would love to post more pictures but Management has advised us that "evidence" is a liability. What we CAN tell you is that several new attractions have been added, at least two of them are survivable, and the AFTERLIFE gift shop now stocks items you didn't know you needed and still don't.

Chaos Engine has been installed, tested, and validated across all ride systems. Survivability metrics remain proprietary. The unstoppable and utterly shameless Dale and Marvin Pigeon are the purveyors of secrets, which can be easily coaxed out of them if you just stick around and LISTEN.

✨ BK Mode – Gianni neu gedacht ✨

Klassisch war gestern langweilig. Heute trägt Gianni Stil mit Haltung – und zwar in vier Varianten, die zeigen, dass „klassisch“ auch richtig Spaß machen kann. Die Outfits spielen souverän mit Kontrasten: mal elegant mit einem Hauch Rebellion, mal urban mit einem Twist, mal edel mit einem Augenzwinkern.

Hier trifft zeitlose Silhouette auf mutige Details, cleane Linien auf selbstbewusste Akzente, und ein bisschen Extravaganz schadet nie – im Gegenteil, sie macht den Look erst richtig Gianni.

BK Mode beweist damit wieder einmal: Man muss nicht laut sein, um aufzufallen. Aber ein bisschen Funkeln, ein bisschen Attitüde und ein bisschen „Ich weiß genau, was ich tue“ schaden absolut nicht.

Kurz gesagt: Gianni bleibt klassisch – aber garantiert nie wieder langweilig.

DJ Azraella is proud to present the first of two new clubs which will be open to HG for pop-up and regular events.

Today 20th March at 2 P.M. Grid time the doors of The Gilded Cage will open to welcome all to another of DJ Az's Live mix sets.
This is one you won't want to miss.
2 hours plus of live mixing, continuous beat matching club experience.

The region is 'General' Please dress appropriately.
Height restrictions are in place.
No Children or small avatars.

CHAOS ENGINE: I made a drop in replacement for the coaster code in the script area which not only improves keyframe playback but also syncs with other vehicles (See our 'Scrambler' type ride Dizzy Wizzy). Most importantly, a 'silent' dice roll at ride start decides if the ride will BREAK, then Dirty Helga's Chaos Package Deploys! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3BvtpuPdR4 Having a BAD DAY at the FAIR was NEVER SO MUCH FUN!

Die Stadt schläft nie – und dein Look sollte es auch nicht. Unsere neue Kollektion ist da und bringt den Puls der Metropole direkt in deinen Kleiderschrank.

There are lots of OpenSim users with top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art machines with a high-end Nvidia gaming graphics card running Windows 11 who complain about Firestorm 7 being terribly slow. In comparison with Firestorm 6 even.

I have hardware that was upper-mid-range in 2018 with AMD graphics running Debian GNU/Linux. I've got nothing to complain about how Firestorm 7 is performing. (Of course, literally nobody here will believe me.)

This either means that I've hit a sweet spot in combining hardware and software. And that the combination of a top-range Intel i9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and Windows 11 is actually objectively slower than the combination of an eight-year-old six-core AMD Ryzen CPU, and AMD Radeon RX 590 and Debian. At least when running Firestorm.

Or this means that everyone else considers a two-digit frame rate a slideshow whereas I've happily capped my frame rate at 30.

What I can comprehend even less is that single-threaded Firestorm 6 is supposed to be faster than multi-threaded Firestorm 7 on a CPU with 12, 16, 24 or more threads.

💥 ATHENA MACHT’S AUF IHRE ART – UND ZWAR MIT AUGENZWINKERN

Athena trägt ihre Outfits nicht einfach – sie führt sie aus. Mal mit der Eleganz einer Diva, mal mit der Frechheit einer Frau, die genau weiß, dass alle hinschauen… und es genießt. Ihr Stil bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen „Ich bin Kunst“ und „Ich bin das Chaos, vor dem dich deine Mutter gewarnt hat“ – und genau das macht sie so unwiderstehlich.

Ob glamourös, verführerisch oder rebellisch lässig: Athena schafft es, dass jedes Outfit plötzlich nach „Signature Look“ aussieht. Sie stolziert nicht, sie schwebt. Sie posiert nicht, sie regiert. Und während andere noch versuchen, Trends zu folgen, hat sie längst den nächsten erfunden – aus Versehen, beim Vorbeigehen.

✨ Dein Style-Update in der Little City! ✨

Bist du bereit, in MiraclesWelt so richtig aufzufallen? Unsere brandneue Kollektion ist in der Little City eingetroffen und sie wartet nur darauf, von dir getragen zu werden!

Egal, ob du den perfekten Look für das nächste Community-Event suchst oder einfach nur stylisch durch die Straßen schlendern willst – wir haben das passende Piece für dich.

However, our teleport boards are down along with 2 regions.

Please use the maps or hg links until we can resolve these 2 issues. it might take a few times via the map to get to regions.

Thank you all that tried to help me with the Apache issue.

We will fix these issues as soon as we can

Ok in this one I did something super special to the terrain floater.
I added spinners for size of the yellow selection box and xy is the bottom left hand coordinate to place it. You can now do borders super easy with a box at 0,0 and the size being 1 wide and 1024 long...or you can make perfect square parcels in moments all the same exact size.....picture below.
Thank you to all who have been tracing bugs keep it up!

THANKS TO RIO FENIX for the idea!

im not sure what happened, but those who received my Japanese Textures please come get them again. I set them to full perm and i looked at them today and the wood ones were transfer only. I have since set them again to full perm. I do apologize to anyone who came to get them. It has been corrected.

Also, i have put out boxes for those who want or need them. The bottom of the display are boxed, the ones on the wall are still "folders". Again, i apologize.

here's a map of 256 regions 1024x1024 m each terraformed by ai. with the landscaper module it can be done rapidly i made a separate map tile generator that makes 256pixel square tiles rgba 8bit but looking at changing to 16bit and maybe half-res depending on VRAM usage. the 8bit rgba use about 64mb i suppose. switching to 16bit grayscale will go up to 96mb unless i go half-res. tinker time.. :)

I wanted to share a quick update for those of you who follow my artwork and have joined NightCafe through my links or recommendations over the years.

NightCafe has recently made some major changes to their pricing and credit system. These changes significantly affect how premium members can use the platform, and I’m currently evaluating what this means for my workflow moving forward.

I’ve always been transparent with my community, and I want to continue that now. I’m exploring other platforms and weighing my options to make sure I’m using tools that respect both creators and the people who support them.

No matter what platform becomes my main home, I’ll still be creating and sharing my work. Thank you all for your support, your encouragement, and your creativity — it means more than you know.

I’ll keep you updated as I navigate this shift.

Coming "soon" to Sub-Version.Space grid: The Seelie Paths

This is planned to be an art installation with a full musical production that can be listened to while reading about the characters and lore.

In the meantime the music and lore can be read about at https://www.glenysbieler.com/the-seelie-paths/

In the mythical world of Fantasia, the beauty between Nature and humankind is often intermingled in the form of dryads and tree elves, beings who embody the delicate harmony between root and soul. Dryads, bound to ancient trunks and whispering groves, carry an unmistakably human grace in their expressions and emotions, while tree elves move with the fluid stillness of wind through leaves. Together, they represent a living bridge between two worlds—one of soil and sap, the other of thought and longing. In their presence, the forest does not feel separate from humanity but rather like an extension of it, as though every heartbeat echoes the rhythm of rustling branches overhead.

This mingling of forms is most visible at twilight, when tree elves walk along moss-covered paths and dryads emerge from the bark of silver birches, their fingers brushing the hands of human wanderers without fear. In Fantasia, such encounters are not rare legends but quiet truths: humans who listen closely begin to understand the language of leaves, while dryads and tree elves learn compassion, curiosity, and hope from humankind. The result is a shared beauty—neither wholly wild nor wholly civilized—where laughter sounds like birdsong and wisdom grows as steadily as the trees themselves.

AHOY, YE LANDLUBBERS!

This afternoon, at the ungodly hour of 12:30 PM PST / 9:30 PM CET, the cannons shall BOOM, KABOOM, and possibly go PEW-PEW in the legendary Catronian Archipelago! It's Celyddon Navy ships versus fearless privateers — basically the world's most dramatic game of sailing boats, but with more explosions and significantly less safety

YOU can be part of this glorious chaos! Fancy yourself a captain? Grab the wheel and try not to crash into anything important. More of a "point and shoot" kind of person? Hop on as a gunner and unleash your inner toddler-with-a-toy-cannon energy. Or, if commitment terrifies you, just show up as a spectator and pretend you knew what was going on the whole time.

We'll be waiting for you — and please, for the love of all things nautical, show up a little early. The cannons wait for no one.

Viele neue Outfits für XARA bei BK-Mode

Xara zeigt wieder einmal, wie vielseitig Stil sein kann, wenn man ihn einfach lebt. Mal elegant, mal verspielt, mal mit einem Hauch „Ich weiß genau, was ich tue“ – und immer mit dieser mühelosen Selbstverständlichkeit, die Mode erst richtig spannend macht.

Bei BK‑Mode geht es nicht darum, sich zu verkleiden. Es geht darum, sich zu zeigen. Und Xara macht vor, wie das aussieht, wenn man’s mit einem Augenzwinkern und einer Portion Attitude trägt.

The moment you step into Fantasia, the air itself feels alive—thick with shimmer and old magic, like the land is breathing alongside you.
Behind you lie the sunlit meadows where fairies darted like living sparks, their laughter chiming as softly as windbells. You remember the elves, tall and watchful among silver-barked trees, their eyes holding centuries of knowing. You remember the unicorns standing still and showing majesty.
But Fantasia is never only gentle.
Ahead of you, the land sinks.
The colors drain away as if swallowed. The ground grows soft beneath your boots, and a low fog crawls along the earth, curling around your ankles like curious fingers. You’ve reached the swamp.
Cold presses in immediately. Not the sharp cold of winter, but a damp, bone-seeping chill that slides under your cloak and settles into your spine. The light dims, smothered by towering, twisted trees whose branches claw at the sky. Long vines hang down, swaying slowly, as though the swamp itself is breathing… watching… waiting.
Every step makes a sound—squelch, suck, sigh—and each one feels far too loud.
Then it happens.
You freeze.
Right in front of your face, no more than a breath away, something moves.
A snake, its body looped over a branch above, dangles down like a living rope. Its scales gleam wetly in the faint light, eyes unblinking, ancient and patient. You can almost feel its cold presence measuring you. Time stretches. Your heart hammers. Slowly—so slowly—you lean back, easing past it. The snake doesn’t strike… but you feel its gaze follow you long after you’ve gone.
You force yourself onward.
The swamp deepens. Water pools around your calves now, black and opaque. The silence grows heavier, broken only by distant croaks and the low hum of unseen insects. Then—
SPLASH.
The water erupts beside you.
An alligator surges from the muck, jaws snapping shut where your leg had been a heartbeat before. Mud and water explode into the air. You stumble back, slipping, barely keeping your footing as the beast thrashes, its armored body rippling with raw, prehistoric power. Yellow eyes lock onto yours—hungry, calculating.
You don’t wait.
You run.
Branches whip at your face. Vines tear at your clothes. Your breath burns in your chest as you burst through the reeds and into a clearing—only to stop dead.
Because you are not alone.
They rise from the shadows like the swamp’s final judgment.
Trolls.
Huge, hunched shapes with skin like moss-covered stone, eyes glowing faintly beneath heavy brows. Their bodies are scarred, ancient, as if they were carved from the swamp itself and given cruel life. One grips a massive club studded with bones. Another snarls, revealing jagged teeth stained dark with old victories.
Their laughter rumbles low and ugly, shaking the air.
“You’ve wandered far, little traveler,” one growls, its voice like rocks grinding together.
The cold, the darkness, the weight of Fantasia’s trials all press down on you in that moment. Behind you: the snake, the alligator, the endless swamp. Ahead of you: the trolls and whatever fate they decide.
And yet…
Somewhere deep inside, the magic you felt at the beginning—the fairies’ light, the unicorn’s calm, the elves’ quiet strength—flares again.
Fantasia has tested you.
Now it waits to see who you truly are.

🌿 Spring’s Promise 🌿
A symbol of renewal, hope, and timeless beauty.

Crafted with graceful intertwining gold, Spring’s Promise cradles a deep emerald like new life rising from winter’s hush. The solitaire setting evokes delicate vines awakening in sunlight, wrapping gently around the heart of the season. Elegant and full of meaning, this ring is a celebration of fresh beginnings, quiet strength, and the eternal promise of spring.
