Direct SLurl to Pteron at this link
Last night at Lainy Voom's behest I visited the island of Pteron, which seemed to be an alien temple complex made from magic and jade. It's the creation of a Resident named Kei514 Flow, and it's ambient, ambiguous, and strange -- a wonderful place embedded with its own secret stories. As it happens, Ms. Voom recently added it to the Virtual Build Archive, which she compiles with Gala Charron. Machinima above, direct experience here.

At some point, I hope we will solve the backup problem in an manner acceptable to all parties, so these great creations can be saved for posterity and optionally revived at will. It would be a worthy cause to find and snapshot these builds, with the creators blessing and license, and archive them. It saddens my heart when I think back of all the beautiful builds that have gone due to the creator not being economically capable to sustain their regions.
