Lady of the elements-Silver

What made you create Tsuki Mura? When I arrived to IW, I looked for the Japanese sims as they were always the ones I admired the most in sl. I've always been more of an observer in sl, feeling everything was already so set up, in place, and saturated. When I realized there was NOTHING here when I arrived in November, I felt something big was missing in the awesome IW picture. I resisted the urge for a while but then started building the beginning of Tsuki Mura on La Dulce Vita, a residential sim owned by my good friend Kyler Barker. The interest rapidly grew and within not even a month I was offered a much bigger parcel by Quarry Philips from The Angel Beach Cluster. He really allowed the dream to come true and expand.

What are your feelings about the future of IW?

I am worried at the moment as the population level is really not high enough to sustain any durable activities in IW, but I am confident that it will change as we are, after all, still in beta. And that's why I invested in getting the complete sim for Tsuki Mura, because I have hope.

Where would you like Tuski Mura in 2 years time?

Still at the same place! And with a population of geishas and samurais for whom it is their home.

Is the economy in rl affecting your business here in IW?

I believe so as everyone is struggling. But I'm lucky to have the texture shop here and in sl that, so far, pays for everything.

What is your favorite build in the whole of Tsuki Mura?

The Okiya, which is really based on a model of a true Okiya. It's also why I rezzed a copy on the grounds so people can visit it.

I've been interested in Japanese culture for a long time in rl,through friends. I create 3d models and textures, amongst other things in rl, and I do have a huge interest in history and archtecture in general. This is what gave me the idea of building an 'authentic' Japanese village "Tsuki Mura" here in Inworldz.
