From Japan to SL

The appearance of the huge city using full four SIMs, which keeps evolving now and the shape has been changed significantly.




My fixpoint observation, the central shopping area that was full of shops before. Now there are some branches of famous shops such as R2, Shu-mesh and Graves.




Many facilities have gone but some familiar buildings such as Advanced Genetics Institute of Science still exist. This is a lab of Dr. Maz, who was involved in the Underground faction, her character was an illegal cybernetic surgeon involved with some of the organized crime syndicates.




This corner has been there for a long time. At first, I thought this could be a memorial for the old culture, but it could be a real place for homeless. There may be the wealth gap even in the future city. Come to think of it, together with the many shops, almost all housing estate and facility were gone.




The appearance of the city has been changed considerably. Amazingly, the whole city and its detail were created by Stark Osterham almost by herself. Furthermore, there had been another huge city in the air Neo Shoda and the installation on the Mars.




Stark said, Insilico is one of the oldest cyberpunk sims on the grid and is still alive and evolving. While many virtual worlds such as Midgal of Final Fantasy or Edo castle and the town were gone, I wish Insiclio alive forever.



The articles regarding the Insilico were filed in my category “INSILICO”. Please visit if you were interested in.



  

I wore some blue coat, so I visited the future city Incilico to find some good spot to shoot the clothing. This is my favorite spot Club Fusion.




A cool spot with gorgeous nightscape, like floating among the buildings. But I never meet someone here.




In the future earth where the nature was disrupted and trees can be seen only at the protected park, this decoration was so impressive. The sculpture was not developed at that time and this is only made of plates with some texture on, but it does fit the future city atmosphere.




The counter with gorgeous night view. I did not meet anyone may be due to the time difference. I had a dream to be taken here by some nice guy… I will visit the town in the next article.

Bought a cute character of Rei Ayanami of Evangelion (Japanese animation) although I have not seen the movie. But everyone noticed the character as might be expected, since she is the most popular character in the series. As my policy, I will not wear a clothing only once a year, but it does not pay off, so I went out for taking pictures with it. Naturally it will be the futuristic city INSILICO. This is the welcome center from which every spot can be reached directly.

My favorite spot, AGIS Medical Center. The coloring and style of the character do fit the situation.




Since the original figure is an animation character that is different from human shape, so I tried to make it humanize, but it did not work well since the adjustment range was restricted. But she looks more human comparing with the android at AGIS.




The android body looks more human but is different because of the skin. There are other working robots which have more functional shape like mobile suits.




There is no sense of discomfort while walking around. But some SIMs do not allow child, furry, or animation character. It is natural for nudist beach, but why not for futuristic world?




I made the shape as human as possible, so don’t you think the hip looks cute? This is the limit of the adjustment. If I take this off, my body becomes unimaginable shape. Sorry but the figure standing in front is not SL avatar.






  

There are many robots inside the AGIS Medical (Advanced Genetics Institute of Science). They had been subjects for the research but now on the operator side.




There are not so much changes in the facility, although still I cannot see the function of the apparatuses.




I missed the time when I had my own desk and computer with my job.




The bone structure is similar to that of human but different. This could be a research to create a robot more resemble to human?




The bed seems not for accommodation but for experiment. The pose is also not sleeping.




Something came down and almost stabbed my neck, but nothing happened.




A scanning device, an essential apparatus in a hospital. It is new to see the body float and rotate.




Myself being scanned. I do not feel nervous in this kind of situation even in RL. If I were getting an operation with general anesthesia, I might say “Thank you for your kind attention” or so and feel easy. But how should I do if I were excited in other meaning…




Like a gas chamber for unknown purpose. Could this be an incubation pod for a humanoid?




I mentioned the other day that she is somewhat infantile or costive, a free avatar at SL16B. But comparing both shapes, she is rather mature and cool. I may use this one more often. Please continue your friendship with this shape.




P.S.
A Cyberpunk City, Hangars Liquides that is older than INSILICO will be closed as of July end. The appearances of two cities are both complicated and similar, but I preferred INSILICO with its unified concept and well fabricated buildings. HL was established in 2011 and once it was a very popular SIM that was introduced in TV programs in RL, but now it is underpopulated, which could be a trend of SL itself. I wish INSILICO for a long life…

Relating to my favorite sites, visited Insilico after some interval. It is joy to see something new every time. This one could have been there but one of the thinning beautiful shops.

Major change is increased auto-moving characters. That was done by camp systems before. A huge model dancing in front of a shop, the dance is not so sexy though.




The pole dance that I took picture before, now there is an automated dancing figure.




One of the robots in the city. For some reason she is using umbrella. We avatars do not care for getting wet.




A waitress at Buddha Bowl. She was a cute girl before but now is a robot.




A bit hard-looking receptionist at AGIS was also changed to a robot.




The board says “It’s faster if we let a pro do it.” Does this mean to increase robots more? I will enter the AGIS Medical next time.

It is told that some free habitation will be provided for RPG members. It might be out of manner, but I took some pictures of those housings. Dear owners, please forgive me for taking photos. This one is using inside of a bulk container. Similar ones are also at Baba ^-^




This person made it as a cool office




Inside of a block slightly larger than a container. There is no window view but looks cozy.




Some gorgeous feeling presented within the limited space by arranging arts.




This one is trying to reproduce good old days at earth by the wall paper.




There is a slum-like area with scattered trash bags.




Free rent-a-car is provided, that is to fly in the air, but this crashed one is a surface car.




There are office areas too, but strangely the furnishings are all retrospect.




Furnitures and goods on the table are all classic. The TV is with CRT! The facilities at the laboratories are all modern, so this may not be an office but a museum? No way but the slum could be an exhibition to preserve the old culture?




Returned to NeoShoda at last. Is this a future of cities or space base? It is joy to look around but if I have to live here… This might be an enjoyable space only in the Second Life as we have real life separately.

After a long interval I visited INSILICO and found some difference at NeoShoda that is an AGIS corporation genetics factory. This science station which houses numerous labs and facilities has been steadily converted to a city. The appearance has not changed a lot but the inside of units that were almost empty are now fully completed as laboratories.

This time I walked through wall to wall, every inch. Only the creator did this I guess. Flying is prohibited in these SIMs, so once dropped the only way is to TP back. It is necessary to set LMs to return where you have a chance to fall.




The TP system has been renewed and it became possible to TP to major areas with one-touch. Naturally I visited all spots and walked around them.
Welcome Center：http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/INSILICO/31/181/522




The main shopping center where I used to visit. Once the area was abandoned and dark, now some activities returned. The lowest segment is used as storage and habitation.




The nightscape of the main area is as before. The area where the windows were deformed like the Chasm City affected by Melding Plague is still as it was. One of the unique characteristics of this city is lack of colors. There had been a blight area with Chinese characteristics but I was not able to find it this time.




I had no chance to talk to the resident or RPG member. This person has a cool avatar but was a visitor.




He has cool screens as chat animation.




I found the same dogs that had been at the Mars base. It is a bit sad that they do not move.




This should not be a zoo, so could be experimental animals. I understand monkey and sheep, but why owls?






  

Recently I was visiting the future world INCILICO. Could be due to the time difference, there is few avatars, but the inside seems to be changing continuously. This time I shot cool avatars situated around the SIMs. This one is standing in a garage for some reason. There are two of them.




The lady with authority at the reception desk at AGIS Medical is not there anymore, but the cute girl at Buddha Bowl is still there. The right is a girl at a news stand, looks alike but by a different creator.




A male figure not so common in the SIMs. He is using PC even at a bar. Is he a doctor from AGIS?




There have been some android or robot but some of them seem to be new, or just I overlooked before.




This one is old. Looks a bit deteriorated, or just an imagination?




I wonder if a robot takes a rest with this pose, or is this an android with high quality?




This looks like a mannequin. Kazumi did this with her avatar at Baba.




There are some dangerous figures in the laboratory. There could be somewhat fearsome things happening here. I would like to see the status of the RPG, but Stark seems to be busy and I had no chance to see any member.






  

For the first time in this two months, I visited INCILICO, where the atmosphere has been changed drastically, arrived at the shopping area at last, but it was changed to a ghost town. Please see the old article for the previous condition.
INCILICO again 1: http://temioyen.slmame.com/e1600539.html




The square in front of Buddha Bowl was covered with snow, and there are several street stands that do not fit the future city in the air. There are trash and crashed car burning in the rut-run, which is completely different from the clean and neat street before.




One of the four SIMs were largely changed, the windows were deformed like the Chasm City affected by Melding Plague. There was a rumor that the creator has retired from SL, so I asked Mr. Stark directly. He said that INCILICO is now under re-modeling which may take about eight months. He is working on a fantasy SIM at the moment but will get back onto building INCILOCO as soon as possible.




The major stores are still there such as Club Fusion, Blue Ant, Restaurant Seven Seas, and Laboratory AGIS, but they look abandoned, that may be my imagination though. Did a pole-dance at an empty club. I learned that there is such a kind of dance at the first time in SL. I admire the trained Nordic ladies with developed muscle dancing dynamically on a pole. At the club where I worked as an interpreter many years ago, there was a pole although the dances were a bit sexy, so I did the nostalgic ones.




  

Shape of the new SIM, NeoShoda. According to the notecard: NeoShoda is an AGIS corporation genetics factory. This science station which houses numerous labs and facilities has been steadily converted to a city. Ever since the Incilico buy out, AGIS has been moving its conduit technology to Shoda for security reasons. Conduit technology is the experimental means to fold space allowing instantaneous travel between two points. The station itself was designed with the purpose of traveling to the stars to begin the generation long terraforming process for eventual human occupation.

My first impression was “Wow, what a mess!” How can these be made within a short period!




NeoShoda in the midday sun. There are some buildings that the inside was not completed but many labs are connected making it possible to walk around.




NeoShoda at sundown. The SL world that reproduce real landscape elaborately is also beautiful but I love this kind of factious world. With this meticulous attention to detail, I think this is a kind of art.




NeoShoda at dawn. Even within a mechanized future city, there is an easeful and restful scenery. Is that because I am a human? How will cyborgs or clones with robotic mind feel?




There was a puppy in the lab. I saw a similar dog in Mars base. Are they clones? I would like to watch the RPG in progress. Shall I wake up early…
