My Meshmoon Journey

Circus:
The entrance to a circus with a lot of fun attractions inside. Really nice, soothing music is playing.

A fire breather prepares to flamethrower across the stage! Although to be honest, it does look a bit like mud.

Lunar World:
Ground control to Major Lau, what is it like up there?
Well it's uh... Buggy.
Yeah... Safe to say that this world is seriously bugged. I am sure this is supposed to look beautifully and moon-like, but I ain't seeing it, no sirree.

Wait, what? After further examination, I'm in the middle of the ocean, waves crashing around me, with a dinky little rocket? Okay I have no idea what's going on. Next world!

German Fire Fighting Museum:
woah Woah WOAH, is this real?! Am I really at the German Fire Fighting Museum? This is so cool! I can even hear the gentle lull of a museum-going crowd in the background. It's kind of like I'm actually here, this is really cool so far. Best world yet.

Wow, interactable web pages adorn the walls behind me, giving me an even deeper understanding of how fire fighting was. I am still in shock that this exists. This is pretty awesome. Next!

Winter Landscape:
How relaxing. A cozy winter cottage, frozen, beautiful empty winter tundra surrounding. I can get used to this kind of life. But alas, the cold is getting to my superhero body. Time to warm up!

Thank the heavens for a sauna! Now I can really appreciate how well-modeled this whole map is. It looks great everywhere I look. It's literally everything I want with a winter house. Next world!

Virtual School:
Oh God, so...many...unfinished...textures. Actually as I'm writing this right now, it's slowly loading more and more of the textures in. Let's see what it looks like completely finished loading.

Alright, this looks slightly better. Other than the off color scheme, I think it actualy looks pretty nice. The Google homepage on the TV and the Chrome icons on the smaller screens are definitely a nice touch. There is not much else to do here, so next world!

HairHeroes: Virtual Salon:

...I have no idea why I picked this for my last world. I mean, I guess this world looks like a hair salon. The products are well lined up and the picture that is next to my character is a nice touch. It would be even more impressive if the products had real labels on them. That would bring a whole new level of authenticity to the world. Let's go upstairs.

Woah, hold up a second. Real before and after pictures? Black and white pictures signifying the owners of the salon? Random walls in the middle of the room? What is this, a museum?Sadly I can't understand a word on that wall, but this is kinda cool.
