Bathroom Doors

We quietly opened the aloft sim the other day and have been getting some nice feedback. We've also gotten some great comments taking a critical eye at the build and design, and we welcome both. Feel free to post your thoughts as comments on this blog as well!

One question we heard a few times was why there wasn't a door in the bathroom. There will be a sliding door in the real hotel but we actually forgot to put it into the virtual version because, well, avatars do not spend much time in bathrooms in Second Life. We did not capture every detail of the hotel interior but instead tried to focus on the essentials. However, we think you are right -- that door is an essential and we are going to update that wall separator and add the door. We see this build as a work in progress. Keep those thoughts coming!

Gosh, I do wish yelling in bathrooms would make that tile ambience. I used to do that as a kid, lock myself in a bathroom and hear sounds reverb. Great picture, use of shiny too.

There's lots of strange and wonderful details in your build, including emergency exit signs, electrical outlets and real world magazines strewn about. Incredible, beautiful work. Kudos, all around.

Thanks Torley and Rik. Great walk through Rik!

I should note that we didn't make the prim food, or that beautiful boat at the dock.
