To everyone who gave their time, talent and heart to this celebration: THANK YOU. Some of you asked to remain unnamed and I will honor that; the work speaks for itself, and so do you. Every gift, large or small, public or quiet, helped make this day possible. This fair belongs to ALL OF YOU.

PEACE & LOVE

🎃 WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT IS OPEN! 🎃
It’s Halloween time! Tired of all the TRICKS this year? Fred thought it was time for a little TREAT!
How about 594 minutes — that’s 9.9 HOURS — of motion-capture animations?
Wednesday at Midnight is officially OPEN! While you’re exploring and hunting for Halloween gifts, there is something extra waiting for those clever enough to find it. CAN YOU FIND THE SECRET ANIMATION LOCATION?
Hidden somewhere inside Wednesday at Midnight is a special collection containing numerous animations prepared by Fred Beckhusen of Outworldz.
The original motion-capture data comes from the Carnegie Mellon University Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database. Fred converted the motion data into animations that can be used by OpenSim avatars.
And there’s more new DreamGrid technology behind this year’s hunt!
The Wednesday at Midnight hunt gifts were created and uploaded using Fred’s new DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader in DreamGrid.
Want to learn how to use the DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader yourself? Visit Outworldz and look in the right-hand column for Fred’s latest DreamGrid articles and documentation. https://outworldz.com/home.htm THE ANIMATIONS ARE FREE — PLEASE RESPECT THE LICENSE
The animation collection is released by Outworldz, LLC under CC BY-NC-SA.
You are free to use and share the animations. You may NOT sell them.

Now come explore Wednesday at Midnight, hunt down the Halloween gifts, visit our rather unusual neighbors... and see if you can discover the secret location containing 9.9 HOURS of animations! Look for the "Thing" Candlesticks~
Happy Haunting! 👻🎃 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Wednesday at Midnight Huge Hug and Thank you to FRED~ He spent numerous hours to make this happen for all of us!

Catronian Archipelago sims moved , and are now connected to the other mariners sims in Neverworld. This means a lot more seas to sail for us, directly connected , which is really wonderful. We had already some curious new captains sailing in! What you see on the map are the mariners seas only, but they are connected to the other mainland sims, meaning you can sail the whole lazy Sunday afternoon :) or maybe even longer!
For your idea : Catronian is a 4x4.

Here is a great new sailing yacht you can take a copy of. All the features you ever wanted and a great way to learn to sail without getting wet feet. See more too @: ruritania.netlify.app/rocinante.html

The underwater set #3 is now out. This is probably my final set of this series (at least for awhile). All pieces are free and full perms to use however you want. The image here is a snapshot taken in world so what you see is what you get.

Food for thought:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IUSZyjiYuY

From underneath the trees, we'd watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive" (I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
"A-amen, I, amen, I, I'm alive
Amen, I, amen, I, amen, I" (I'm alive)
And in the air, the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive" (I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realise how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day (died) when nobody died

The Fleetwood Beach Lagoon

The Fleetwood Beach Lagoon offers a peaceful contrast to the more technical and industrial areas of the region.

Surrounded by water, shoreline and the surrounding landscape, it is a place where visitors can slow down, enjoy the scenery and take in the special atmosphere of Fleetwood Beach.

The lagoon is designed as a natural part of the region and connects the maritime character of Fleetwood Beach with its distinctive Steampunk setting. The result is an area that invites both exploration and relaxation.

From here, visitors can enjoy interesting views across other parts of the sim, including buildings, technical constructions and nearby attractions.

For anyone who would like to experience the quieter side of Fleetwood Beach, the lagoon is an ideal place to stop for a while and simply enjoy the surroundings.

The Fleetwood Beach Promenade

The Fleetwood Beach Promenade invites visitors to explore the region at a relaxed pace and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the sim.

Along the promenade, visitors will discover various buildings, small plazas, technical installations and decorative elements that shape the distinctive character of Fleetwood Beach. Industrial details, Steampunk architecture and maritime influences come together to create a varied and atmospheric route through the region.

The promenade is more than just a connection between different areas. It is also a place to stop, observe and discover. Along the way, new views open up across the surroundings, the attractions and the coastal areas of Fleetwood Beach.

For those who prefer to explore without rushing, the promenade is an ideal place for a leisurely walk, with many small details to discover that can easily be missed from a distance.

Take a stroll, look around and discover Fleetwood Beach step by step.

Allo, allooo!
