Oh, look ... a NAME!

Well, we finally have the domain lined up, so I can start using the name of the "fashion district" that I've been mentioning ... it's going to be called Pattern9 and, as you can see from these snaps, it's a lot more than just clothes!

Here's Eschatos perched on one of the cupolas of the "white palace" which is going to be the major "mall" of designer showrooms. The dock area just went in yesterday, with big yachts that are available for rental. Our client is big into "fun and games", and there will be cars, boats, hang gliders, surfboards, jet-skis, etc., etc., etc., available across the current six sims of Pattern9!



Most of the planning and work over there is in the hands of our in-world build team, so it's always amusing for Eschatos to take a bit of a fly-around over in Pattern9 to see what's new. This is all centered around Club Mannequin (LINK), which was the start of the "fashion & fun" concept, but it grew so much bigger than that ... and speaking of bigger, the waterway in the above pic (going under the bridge) connects with the Mannequin lagoon, and out into the open ocean which will be navigable out a full sim's worth on each side, making the water activities much more satisfying than just playing in a land-locked lake.



Last time Eschatos posted here, he was checking out the new buildings on the other side of the complex ... well, here's a little peak at the "southwest" corner (although I'm pretty sure that it's actually on the south-east sim), with a railroad, a giant "chopper shop", a Native American village, and circling buzzards (which may even be ridable), looking back towards those apartment towers.

There's lots of stuff still to come over there, with even more expansion plans, so Eschatos is probably going to be foisting more about it to y'all in here ... hope you don't mind. I'll probably be grinding out some P.R. releases too when we start getting the sign-ups for the designer showrooms set. Anyway, Eschatos is excited about all the new stuff, so wanted to share.

More later ...
