Thanks for reading!

Hope I get to work on stuff like this in the future once again.

And finally, one of my works in progress that never saw the light of day...
A weather machine.

Combining the four "seasonal poles", players would've been able to cast different effects.

It would've been cool, maybe one day...

Thanks to Amoreena for her enthusiasm and helping me plan the object.

"The Book of Concealment"

One of my last projects.
Players could use this book to hide objects "beneath" others.
Others could come and find those hidden objects to keep.

Life caught up and issues persisted, but at least it was given out.

Thanks to riperiperi for helping me through the process.

"FreeSO One Thousand days trophy"

Made to commemorate our players who had a character older than 1000 days old.

FreeSO wouldn't have been what it was without you.

"Evergreen / Nevergreen awards 2023"

An prize to commemorate those players who always / never took care of their character's needs.
Inspired by the plumbob of the original Sims game.

Thanks Véliocasse again for his original idea.

"Duck trophy"

Self explanatory. Made for some events that required us to give prizes.

Thanks to Véliocasse for his original idea.

"Flying Pride Flag Pole"

One year, we made a big Pride Month event, and I wanted to participate making something that everyone could use to show support.

Thus, I made this flag, with multiple designs, which you could interact with to read something about said flag.
Very fun!

"Summertime Snoozin' Towel"

What would summer be without people sunbathing.
I made this towel where characters could relax, or even sleep. I really enjoyed working on this and all of its variants.

"Pre-chlorination Station"

I always thought that having to take a full shower, taking off your swimwear before jumping in a pool was inconvenient, so I made this compact shower for exteriors.

In April fools, you could even trick the shower so the next person to use would burn!

"Scuba and Tube-a Collection"

I made some flip-flops, a snorkel, and my favourite, the "sumbrella".

I also made the rack that would have all the accessories to wear. I love it!

Thanks to Jwofles for making the duck floatie and the sunglasses (everyone LOVED them <3)

"Alarm light"

Made for an event where players would run through a maze in one of the secret staff buildings. It was a lot of fun.

Thanks to Dotequals for the event idea and his help with it!

"Hand sanitizer dispenser "SO Clean""

I think this is particularly cute, and it even has a draw-over of my hands on it!

"Face mask required Sign", post and wall versions.

An item that I made to distract myself from the horrible times we were living.
Putting one of these signs would make everyone in the building to wear a little mask.

"Goth Family Private Mausoleum"

I hold this in a very special place in my heart. A crypt for Halloween that allowed one or two characters to "explore" inside, having different (sometimes deadly) outcomes.

Thanks to S1ndle for trusting me in developing his original idea.
December 10, 2024 at 9:36 PM
Here's a little clip of the gameplay of the items in action.

Again, thanks to Architect for his work and incredible support, you always made working with you extremely fun.

"The FreeSHOW game"

A quiz-like show that I got the pleasure to participate on.
I worked on the art assets and the programming of the way the characters interacted with the object.

A huge thanks to The Architect, who did incredible work in connecting the items for multiplayer as well as the UI.

Elf ears.

One of the Christmas events we celebrated had two little elves, Garland and Tinsel, each of them were the captains of their teams in a fierce snowball throwing battlefield, so we needed some elf ears, for the three skin tones in game.

I even made a little render to tease them.

"Festive Florist's Wreath o' Greenery"
"Festive Florist's Hanging Garland"

Some festive decoration, which I think looks pretty cute. You could even chain them to make them longer.

Thanks to Woobsha Raeven, who did the programming part of these objects and was always a wonderful support of mine.

Gingerbread houses (Town Hall)

Inspired by the town hall of the city in game.
December 10, 2024 at 9:13 PM
Gingerbread houses (skills)

- Body skill
- Charisma skill
- Logic skill
- Mechanical skill

I love all the details I got to put on the decorations.
December 10, 2024 at 9:13 PM
Gingerbread houses

Each version would be made by your character, depending on your skills, with a very special one resembling the town hall of the city.

Regular version.

"'Winter / Spring / Summer / Fall on a stick' seasonal beam"

Originally made for a "Winter ball" event, got delayed to a "Spring fling" event, so thus decided to make the 4 of them, because why not.

Thanks to my dear friend Fawn, who had the original idea and hosted a wonderful event.

ORIGINAL OBJECTS

After remeshing for a while, I started properly contributing to the game as official staff, and most of the content I made was created and designed from scratch, sometimes requiring new programming, which I often was happy to contribute in.
December 10, 2024 at 9:13 PM
"Auditorium Seating"

This was made in a rushed decision for an in-game event, and while it is not the best one out there, I still think it's acceptable.
December 10, 2024 at 9:13 PM
"Egg chair"

My friends in-game used to call me egg for its resemblance with my character's name, so I felt compelled to do this.
