I saw this video short, entitled World Builder, when it was featured on the SL blog Not Possible IRL. It's a beautiful representation of what Second Life content creation could - and can - be like. It's an incredibly detailed and exciting futuristic vision, and also has a heartstrings-yanking human element. I'm linking to it here as an interlude because it's related to the designer process and serves as an example of the potential of platforms like Second Life. (Also it's gorgeous.)

In one of the blog comments, which I couldn't phrase better: "Yup - this is the truth of building in Second Life (on a good day). And it's wrapped in the other key message, which is that we use these worlds, as we do any tools of art -- to find one another, and pull one another out of darkness, into light."
*Clears throat* Hem. Sorry for the tangent. Back to the Steampunk Virtuoso collection in the next post.
