Hello to all Hypergrid residents: Over the past week, Shofia and I have been working to launch a yard market this Sunday, featuring wonderful items to decorate your homes, gardens, and anything else you like. We’ve curated a selection of the pieces we’ve gathered, items that Shofia, with her exquisite taste, has been showcasing to us.
The yard market is open all day today, Sunday, September 13th. Shofia and I will be there as much as possible to assist you with whatever you need. Come on by and enjoy a Sunday at the market—browse the stalls, pick up some great items, and grab a cold beer while chatting with friends. Also, for those interested, we’ve add a stall open if you’d like to contribute a piece of your own.
We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!

Fleetwood – New Water Route and Redesigned Monorail Track

There are once again some new changes to discover on Fleetwood.

The water route to the Fleetwood sim, located right next to Fleetwood Beach, has been completely redesigned to make it more beautiful and varied. Instead of simply travelling along a plain waterway, visitors can now follow a much more romantic and natural-looking river course by boat.

The route winds its way between rocks, past lush vegetation and many small scenic details that make the journey feel much more atmospheric. The idea was to turn the boat trip itself into a relaxing little experience, giving visitors the chance to enjoy the surroundings at their own pace. With the rock formations and greenery along the river, the whole waterway now feels more enclosed, natural and immersive.

The Monorail route has also been significantly redesigned and made much more interesting.

The train no longer travels only through open landscape. Parts of the route now lead directly between large rock formations, making the journey feel narrower, more dramatic and much more varied than before.

One of the highlights is a new section where the Monorail even passes through a rock tunnel. Together with the surrounding cliffs and rocky passages, the route now feels more like a small mountain railway than a simple sightseeing ride.

Visitors who already know Fleetwood will immediately notice the changes. Both the new water route and the redesigned Monorail track are intended to encourage people not only to visit the sim, but also to explore it in different ways.

So: take a boat and follow the river, or hop on the Monorail and simply enjoy the ride.

Fleetwood is located right next to Fleetwood Beach.

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead

Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.

And this one is very difficult to keep dead.

Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.

This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.

Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.

This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.

And, naturally...

YOU CAN RIDE IT.

Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?

A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him

Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.

The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.

But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.

After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.

Wait a bit...

...and he puts himself back together.

Then off he goes again.

There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.

Go Ahead. Hit Him.

The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.

Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.

Head, arms, body — down he goes.

Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.

It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.

And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.

We know how people are.

But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button

This may be my favorite part.

Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.

Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.

Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.

So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...

piggybacking on a zombie.

I think that wins Halloween.

When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better

Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.

The zombie falls apart.

Then he reassembles himself.

Then he walks back home.

Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.

The Engineering Behind the Silly

That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.

They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.

The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.

Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.

It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.

That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.

Build something.

Take it apart.

Learn how it works.

Change it.

And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.

Resurrect Something This Halloween

There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.

Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.

Just remember one important rule:

If you manage to kill him...

don't celebrate too quickly.

He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

🦋 Butterflies Always Near 🦋

Butterflies have a very special meaning to me.

At 96 years old, my mother was still creating. One of the last things she made for her daughters was a sequined butterfly. She carefully placed every single sequin by hand. She passed away only a few months later, on September 18, 2024.

Those butterflies became something I treasure, and now they have inspired this little creation.

Butterflies Always Near is a butterfly choker created in remembrance of my mother and also in memory of Dolly Parton, whose love of butterflies made this tribute feel especially fitting.

Each choker comes nestled inside a lavender butterfly keepsake box and will be given as a gift at Monentes Jewelry.

A butterfly may only stay for a moment, but somehow its beauty stays with us.

For those we love, and those we remember — butterflies are always near. 🦋

UPDATE:
🎉 NEVERWORLD GRID IS BACK ONLINE! 🎉

🛠️ NEVERWORLD GRID — SERVER MIGRATION IN PROGRESS 🛠️

Hey everyone! NeverWorld Grid ran into a hardware issue on our end that required us to move to a new server. We're actively working through the migration — mounting the new system, restoring data, and getting everything relinked and rebooted.

The Main Grid is temporarily offline while this happens. Full data restoration takes time to do right, so we appreciate your patience — we want everything to come back exactly as it should, not rushed.

In the meantime, come build with us on the Dev Grid! 🏗️
Create an account and hop on right now:
🔗 https://dev.neverworldgrid.com/

Sandbox away, build, test, export — a good way to stay productive while we finish up.

We'll post the moment the Main Grid is back online. Thanks for hanging in there with us — NWG's coming back stronger! 💙

Some of the most interesting developments in DreamGrid don't arrive with a lot of noise.

Fred Beckhusen just quietly keeps building.

Modding the LouTan movement reactive hex dancefloor to no longer only react to stepping on it physically, but also when on solo and couple dance balls , huds, chimeras etc. Why is this challenging? sounds ez? Well, opensim and sl treat you as a ghost more or less when you are being animated. You are no longer a physical thing. While my enhancements are far from flawless, i feel it adds an extra level of realism and interest to an already super cool item. Found the original from Druskus and ZoneNations, i do believe. so all credit to him and them. I'm just trying to make it even cooler!
