To be more precise, he says: Either way I'll be getting ready to abandon my houseboat over the weekend I think😁

Yes, Patch said previously that they would be setting things out so the themes were close together, since they are both water themes. Great idea I think.

OMG (jumps up and down) - I'm so excited!😍

In @Inara Pey 's notes on the latest Web User Group meeting (https://modemworld.me/tag/web-user-group/) she has added: I don't know if the 'farmish' mention is her own personal guess or something that was hinted in the meeting... More food for thought. I had wondered about that bale of hay...

What about this contemporary version? (minus the white beams).. The door, walls and stone flooring there is very similar, so are the windows to what they've used in other themes.

Wow @Nika Talaj - that is some sleuthing. I can see why you draw that conclusion. And no-one has suggested that particular style (Patch said no-one has guessed correctly yet - unless he's fibbing lol). If you are correct then I could imagine it could be made to look a bit like this picture - those rocks remind me of the rocks the Moles have used all over Belliseria (love those rocks!) so perhaps we'd see more of those amongst a more arid mountainous setting than we've seen to date in the themes: If you aren't correct, well that's some great coincidence:)

I was thinking that maybe as there has already been two demos now of the Stilt homes they will release the Stilt homes before the Xmas Expo rather than showing again there, and then demo the next theme at the Expo and release those soon after the reveal. It might be easier for them to stagger them like that rather than have two new releases concurrently, so they can iron out any issue such as homes not rezzing properly etc. as we've seen before.

11 themes!? Great! I kinda hope not...I'd like to see a big release, the last thing I'd like to see is a 'limited' release of Stilt homes which will all be gone in a few hours and having to endure the refresh madness 🥴 I'm hoping there'll be enough to go round initially like we saw with the log homes - it was a few days before they were sold out. I'd be prepared to wait a little longer for that. On the other hand what if they are planning to release the 7th theme concurrently (if I remember correctly I think Patch suggested somewhere that could be the case). So that might allieviate a scramble for Stilt homes.

Thanks for the link! I'd forgotten about some of the things mentioned in this interview. Patch does say (around 31 mins in) for some reason I have been thinking there were only a couple more coming, had totally forgotten that. And at around 32 mins in: So I think we could safely assume they won't be a similar structure to Vics/Trad/Stilts. I'm not sure what to make of the "mhmm" comment to the European theme. I don't know if it sounds like a refrain from commenting because he doesn't want to reveal that there will be a European theme, or just because he doesn't want to say yay or nay to anything, not because there is or isn't that theme🤔

I agree, it's great to be able to take a another look. I like the Tortuga too, and love that we finally have something open plan with big windows (love, love, love it!) but yes that space seems enormous. It's great though for those who do want the option to divide it up to make smaller rooms if they wish, and so I guess ads a certain amount of flexibility in that respect. I'm trying to envision how I'm gonna place the furniture or divide it up. I wish we had modular style homes where we could just bolt together different rooms to the configuration we want:) Maybe for the next round of LH homes in 10-15 years....?😁

If we think in terms of wattle and daub generally instead of 'Tudor', as this building style goes back centuries, it's possible it might be a similar style and could be seen as more of a 'new' theme if the building shape is less square or there's a thatched roof or something. For example I found a site talking about traditional and contemporary Korean homes ( http://holzhueter.blogspot.com/2013/03/traditional-and-contemporary-natural.html) . Some traditional ones use wattle and daub, with regional variations. Some pics: The first one shows one style and you can see the stone floor at the base. The way the house looks in Patch's pic really reminds me of this look in terms of the wood and the walls. We can also see elements of this style over at Meauxle Bureaux (the Mole's village for those who may not be aware of it) in the center part of this building: We also see similarity in the old Elderglen homes. And since Patch mentioned there might be reference to some of the old LHs, the theme after the stilts could be the equivalent to the Elderglen, i.e. 'fantasy' style home. And Peter Pan and Game of Thrones are both 'fantasy', if these are clues:)

It could just be panelling rather than stairs (kinda tudor like, but in a rustic style, so maybe a cottage theme?). I'm guessing they will be 1024's judging by what I've seen over time on the Dev & SSP regions, but it does look like they have some smaller homes coming mabye later: Right top shapes look like stilt homes, top row I think is the theme after that, and bottom ones are the newest ones added here, so theme after that, but they are placed in 1024 regions, which might mean nothing here. But who knows:)

In one of Patch's posts in the forums he seems to hint that some future theme would be a bit different (can't find it right now - I think someone suggested LL wouldn't be making anything that much difference and his response was something like 'No' meaning that's not correct to think that - at least that was how I read it). So far only the campers and houseboats are really 'different' to the rest in my view, in that I expected a bit more variety in terms of having fantasy like the Elderglen were. They did say that they would be making a nod to some of the old LL home themes, so maybe after the stilts and the next one there'll be something a bit more different or in a fantasy vein. EDIT - found the post, it's page 4 of this thread:

Very true, it's been very much of a 'variation on a theme' in terms of the actual structure of the homes. The landscaping and decor (wall colours, floor, etc. ) has been what seems to define the themes I think. So from what little we can see in the pic I'd guess it was the same. Doesn't look like a great departure in the way that campers and houseboats were. unless of course the overall home shape is in fact different (maybe why the pic doesn't show any windows looking out as you could in previous pics from Patch? Hiding the roof shape maybe?)

Thanks Claire!:) I have been wondering recently, and checking if Patch would post something soon regarding a new theme. I just assumed this was just a Halloween pic though.

They look white to me so I assumed it was snow, which would be fitting for a Winter expo:)

Spied on the map today....looks very much like a demo region - you can see some houseboats on there plus other houses. Maybe for the Winter Expo? With maybe the new themes....???? Some of the home shapes are like the new shapes on the Dev regions. (My guesses aren't usually right though! lol).

From the SL Tools and Technology post: The wait is almost over! The time is nigh! Stilt homes cometh!😁

Thanks so much for this! The artists props will be perfect for my gallery:)

The SL Chrismas Expo is coming in December (4-13), so I'm wondering if there might be a reveal there of the theme that's after the stilt homes. I hope so!:) We've seen theme reveals and examples at other Expo's. Fingers crossed.... Edit - I've just remembered that there was a LH reveal at last year's Christmas Expo...

Pixeldolls is still around, although with a limited range, all priced L$10. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Chartreuse/232/105/22

Those have been up for a few weeks now. I do think they look like stilt homes. The other colourful shapes can also be seen in one of the LH Dev regions and don't look like anything that's been released, so my guess has been that they are one of the new themes not yet disclosed.

Another lovely hangout spot in the making... SSPE1171 View from the other side....

That would be quicker to implement - virtually no landscaping needed!😁

Shame on you lol! I admit I feel impatient too. I can't wait for Stilt homes. It feels like such a long time to wait, but we did know it would be. In June Patch said they were basically ready, but couldn't be released due to the lack of region capacity (page 8 of the thread NEW THEME!! Beachy/Summery), so would be released after the uplift around autumn time this year (that was in another interview/thread somewhere). Of course that is not set in stone I'm sure, but I really hope we see a release (of a large quantity!) this year, not next year... I'm sure there'll be those who still like GOH, and that has no end date:)
