The Last of Boston

 The Last of Boston is a zombie game based on the TV show The Last of Us on Neverworld Grid.
The build was due to be our first destination in this special 10 anniversary Safari tour, but,  the code gremlins got active in the inner workings of Neverworld's opensimulator on this occasion,  timing grr!
The usual suspects of Safari all showed up at the clubhouse, ready to go see the Boston sights, but instead it was a nice excuse to hear people share some of their feelings about our trips (and complain about the seats at the clubhouse - these people have no stamina!) 
It's been 10 years since our first forays into the unknown, with so many crashes and uncertainties in the planning and executing of our guided tours, so there was something appropriate about our last minute crisis. That's happened so many times it's a bit of a miracle when things all work out perfectly, as they often do.
But regardless of the stress related to trying to make these trips happen, I'd like to thank everyone who has joined us for their good humored patience and generally upbeat approach to Safari trips, no matter what they bring. After all, this is all about the people. If you want perfection, there are thousands of impersonal video games out there. 
Thanks to Govega and Nexus and the whole team on NVW for working so hard to try to get the region back up in time for our tour - I know they put a lot of work into it, and we were disappointed not to be able to make it. 
But just because it didn't work out for us is no reason why you shouldn't shoot over to the grid and try out the adventure roleplay hunt game for yourself, any time!   
The game instructions are simple, intuitive, and easy to follow, leaving you to interpret the game as you want, which is great - you can choose to  get deep into the plot or else just get some atmospheric photos if you want, without being bugged by the zombies. Medikits, special tools for foiling your foes abound, and not quite sure what these mushrooms do, but on this build, sparkly things are always good for you, so - clickies!

If like me you've never watched the show, that still won't stop you having fun. there are plenty of helpful clues and handy tools that will keep you safe. It's pretty easy to guess the general theme.
This is a warring factions/post apocalyptic build, so you have the ruined city on one side, and on the other the fortified FEDRA compound. Each with its own drawbacks and difficulties.
That creates  two intriguing playgrounds for you to explore. As so often happens on Neverworld it's a vast mesh construct with pieces by all your usual NVW team members, with Mr Smokes and Nexus Storm very much in the fore, with some lovely details and a first class layout with a real thrill of danger. Another great build for Opensim adventurers! Congratulations!

  1. I also missed this visit. I have one question - is there a Pedro Pascal avatar there? That would be grand. Thanks Thirza.
