Determining Interest: Trials in Tainted Space SecondLife Sim

[Pikacha twentyfive]

Hi everyone!

I'm Pikacha, a long-time fan, first-time poster, and I would like to ask here if there is any interest at all in the creation of a roleplay sim based on the worlds (and spacestations!) of Trials in Tainted Space, in Second Life.

SecondLife has had an active adult community for well over two decades now, and the possibilities of its' engine have been expanded upon greatly since its first inception. Since I love big building projects (putting a lot of my time, effort, love, attention, and no small amounts of $Linden into them), I want to continue creating inspiring and immersive adult environments on Second Life. And the universe of TiTS lends itself amazingly well to recreating them on SL.

Here are some pictures of my past work so you know I'm not just all talk.

Toovii, my Honeypot Golden Myr, is one of my favorite characters to play:


As for environments, I'm the lead builder of the Vee's Den, SecondLife's premier adult Pokemon-themed sim:



As well as the lead builder of MOSAIC, the Fantasy RP sim:


And the owner of a sim entirely of my own, THE NEXUS, a portal-covered "inbetween" world;


Long story short, I love to build.
And I'd love to hear if there is any interest at all in the community surrounding Fenoxo's works if a sim based on the TiTS Universe sounds interesting to you.
Would you visit? Would you repeat visit? Would you hang out? Would you RP? Would it inspire you to make your TiTS characters in SL?

Timeline-wise I'm thinking the worlds could be showcased as how they'd be 1 year after the events of the game.
I'm also thinking the sim could have randomized treasures with the transformative items of the game; giving freebie avatar-building objects or textures for non-freebie objects that fit the theme of TiTs' races.

But thats all details. Needless to say, I would love to build this... but if I build it and once finished, no one is there to enjoy it, then I wouldnt be quite as motivated.
Thanks for reading! ♥

Fen and me kind of casually talked about the idea in passing a couple of years ago. We had some vague ideas that were roughly along the same lines as you, to kinda replicate maybe a bit of the vibe of the game universe with "TF packs" or something that would have some premade bits and pieces to kitbash into suitable avatars.

In the end, we both realised neither of us had the free time to dedicate to it, nor enough knowledge to really pull it off - I mess with SL on the side for a week or two every year and run out of steam messing with whatever dumb idea I've had, but can never execute well enough to satisfy me, and crash out for another year.

And then VRC blew up and we've just never given it consideration again.

VRC's popularity notwithstanding, I personally believe Second Life's strengths are a boon to a project like this. The endless modular nature of SL's avatar building lends itself incredibly well for TiTs bodymodding aspect. Unlike VRC where you either gotta be a modeller and rigger, or pay large sums of money to have a custom one made, with a little bit of elbow grease you can get the materials to make your own avatars for as low as 10-15 bucks.

As for the building, well. It's my creative outlet, and something I love to do. I would definitely be able to put in the time and effort. ♥

I don't have an issue with it. Might have to dust off my old SL and Kiro avatar and give it a visit someday :wink:
