I, too, got the glade for the moon & sky, & the LOOT space for the earth view. Add the LOOT telescope & … ahhh … bliss. I still thrill remembering the time I saw a large hurricane hit the US east coast & move inland … light patches that represent cities … or snow patches.

I wish Lockwood would give as add-ons (free would be great, but I’d buy them)rising & setting moon, and eclipses. I could give moon-watching parties.

I think that an observatory would be fantastic. I would get it. I would be great to have a space that was informative too.

You can come by to see the space apt anytime, just drop me a message.

Great companion piece to Ted’s article Orion! I have yet to actually SEE the loot space so Im looking forward to when I do. *nudge nudge*

I would like Home to come out with an observatory. where we look at an actual representation of the night sky… learn about the constellations, maybe learn something about the stars themselves.

The (sky box) has a totally different feel these days doesn’t it? Atmosphere speaks to the heart! When you stand in front of the ocean and get that feeling you describe, standing in the loft looking at the earth just makes you smile doesn’t it? These works of art have continued to make us part of that equation. I can see the developers of these environments getting even better at their crafts. I imagine if they begin to make seamless transitions from sky to ground, that bar will be raised. I think Hellfire Games is working on that. It would be cool if they turned the gravity off in one of these beautiful open environments. Great article Orion!

This is a great article Orion, I couldn’t agree more with you! We seem to be reaching for that brass ring of realism and mood with spaces. It is my hope that there will be an “arms race” between the developers to keep moving that bar upward. I may be getting a little deep/corny here but when I look up at the night sky it reminds me that we are just a small part of a very big whole, and for some reason that is a great and comforting feeling. To have these publishers on board with that awesome!

Great article!
