Week 10

Today we worked more on the project. I got flying Limo to work, but may still to add coding for the gun to be able to work. I've also started working on a flying scooter which will most likely use the same coding as the limoAs i created the Limo, I seem to act like a Limo driver taking people places...

Here is the photos that were taken when we went out and explored Flinder Street. Some of the photos aren't good quality since it was a phone camera but a basic idea can come out of the shot that could be used for the Second Life World

Week 8: Research

I am currently researching futuristic vehicles because I will be designing flying vehicles, the trains and possibly the racing trams for the Future Melbourne that we are building.

Here I visited Abbotts Aerodrome where I thought I could get some ideas on Vehicles designs

The place had a variety of aircrafts but still kept to the norm of designsI cam across this small vehicle which I found interesting and thought I could maybe design a vehicle something like it
Here are some Space ships that people designed and posted on http://www.slexchange.com/ where people could sell their Second Life products

I also saw this Lamborghini and how an ordinary car into something futuristic

Task 2: Story based on the Future Melbourne

The Job Interview

Felodus woke up one morning feeling uncomfortable and still tired. He found that he had trouble sleeping with sounds of working machines and renovations due to the destruction of Melbourne city. The orange sunlight glazed through the blinds only light the dim room of his temporary home. But in order to earn some Lindens so survive in this world, he would need to find work in this lost city.

The morning doesn’t seem much different from the day. The sun is always orange, the feeling of tiredness and stress is always about. Other than the remains of Melbourne city, it’s pretty much ruins beyond the boundaries on the edge of the city, where you would die in the remains of the nuclear contamination that surrounds it. After the Great War between Melbourne and Sydney in 2050, Melbourne was left in ruins and since then, the remains of the society had been rebuilding a newer Melbourne that is run by the Vegan industry. But they are not making it like the old Melbourne, it’s their Melbourne. The use of a Cyborg squid protecting the Yarra River and Cops giving fines to people for doing absolutely nothing describes the corrupt city that Vegan had setup in their own vision of their world. But this is the world that Felodus lives in. In order survive in it, he must pay his way.

Felodus wanders down the side walk aiming to get to this important interview for the job for a major project of an underwater casino. This job would set his life and determine whether he lives a high life or still be doing temporary low pay work.

He walks through the busy station striding towards his platform. He boards the train which seems much cleaner and tidier, even the air in the atmosphere was much clearer and a relief compare to the musty atmosphere outside. But the ride is not for long due to the fast speeds of the transportation. Within a few minutes Felodus reached his destination where he has to face this interview.

The doors to the train opens, he walks out and takes the lift to the floor where his interview was held. The door to the lift opens and sees red carpet, velvet walls, almost like a casino itself. He moves towards the robotic receptionist at the desk in the back of the room where the sound of his foot steps muted by the thick carpet. “Hi I’m Felodus Roeni, I’m here for the interview?” The robot stares blankly as if it was processing the information given. “One moment sir, Mr. Vegan will be with you shortly” Felodus takes a seat on the soft pink velvet couch that was located close by the door where he assume the interview room would be behind that door. “Ok sir, he is ready for you” This is the moment where his fate would be chosen. Would he get this job and live the high life or still be living in his lonely life with temporary low pay work?
