Nika Talaj Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I feel like someone should be starting one of those office pools on a whiteboard somewhere not in Belli .... *putting my bet down on Atlantis, just because me wants to see it* 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Welcome back from vaca, @Patch Linden! Hope it was replete with RL pleasures. Have you ever watched Treehouse Masters? I hadn't seen it in ages, but while searching for something calm for my elder to watch, I rediscovered it. Should a woodsy theme be on the horizon, particulalrly a natural (as opposed to fantasy/elven) one, a Treehouse style of home would be great fun! One like the ones these folks build, both whimsical and livable. Not everyone's cup of tea, but a neat option to have among others. eta: I say "as opposed to fantasy/elven" just because I have no clue what fantasy LH dwellers would like.

Polenth Yue Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'd like fantasy, but if we're betting (pretend money because we're good and following the gambling rules), I'm going for Victoriana. Patch seems to like the steam trains and it's the right era for that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Talaj Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Well, you COULD combine things. Oak Bluffs, tiny Painted Ladies 5 minutes from the ocean on Martha's Vineyard. Beachy Victorian. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunny Bunny Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I think we'll see more minimalist architecture as it would probably be lighter on the LI while retaining a modern/futuristic look. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Since people have spoken of their dislike of small rooms and their desire for a more open floor plan, the next theme is obviously going to be yurts. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently I have been watching lots of videos about yurts. Some people have made really great homes in them. Yurts might be cool to have in Second Life too. 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this kinda similar to the Meadowbrook theme? If I were LL, I'd study salvaging Meadowbrook & the Sahreta Osumai themes by removing half the homes from existing LH regions, changing the parcels to 1024, adding roads and some nice community areas, and moving them so they formed a coherent continent. Might be more work than starting over! As for the other two first-generation LH themes, I think Tahoe is surpassed by the campers/trailers, and they need a completely new take on fantasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they intend to put the first area on the tail fin of the main area, it'd be a sharp transition if it suddenly went to snow. Though on the other side, cabins could work on green or snow areas, depending on the decorations. They could also be big enough to work in a similar niche to traditionals. Well that could be numerous things that went well with railroads, now based on the location of the railroad you could have apartments/condos or duplexes if it is more city setting. If you go with more rural areas you could have farm type homesteads or other types of homes similar to the traditional's. Cabins I would see them doing but really does not go well with railroads they should be in a more secluded area only see a railroad stating we getting dropped off for a trip.

Unless it's a ranch with 4096 parcel size and only four to a region that also includes free Breedable Cattle Herds and will be available for Super-Duper Premium Tier, only $999 U.S. per month, paid annually. //JustSurmizin' Edited October 8, 2019 by Alyona Su Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity Blakewell Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) I gave some thought a while back as to how an urban/highrise setting could be handled, and basically the idea was buildings where only the first and possibly second floor (for businesses) would be really "there" and the buildings were actually shells above those levels. The elevator would be really a teleport and the actual "floors" spread over different regions to allow for the LI allotment and server load. So the view from the apartments would be fake, basically. At the street level, though, a urban environment would be do-able, being able to walk from building to building, enjoying parks and public spaces, etc. And it could integrate businesses, something we don't currently have in the existing communities. I think cabins/rustic vacation homes could be a huge hit if they brought in Trompe L'oeil to design them.I'd move out of a traditional home for one of those. I am more skeptical about the mass appeal of fantasy homes. I don't know the stats on the original Linden Homes, but I'll bet the fantasy ones were the least popular.
