SUBPLOT PREVIEW 

hey everyone! opening is creeping up on us and dana and i would like to thank you for your patience. some unplanned work travel occurred which meant we had to push back opening but we’re so close to having everything ready to go! above is our subplot, the bitter twist to the site. you can choose to be as involved in this as you like. we also have a fictional art academy linked to the site - while it isn’t mandatory for any students to attend this university it’s a way to bring everyone together and create more plot opportunities and connections. if you have any questions about the above feel free to reach out to us on discord. 

a city renowned for many things. paris, known as the city of lights, city of love, and a world fashion capital. it is a city with a vibrant and storied history. none more vibrant than it’s art and culture. even today, paris is a city that draws in the artistic dreamers; from painters in sun filled studios overlooking the city in montmartre all desperate to immerse themselves in history, the ambitious performers on the stage at palais garnier and opéra bastille, to the philosophers and deep thinkers studying at the sorbonne and l'académie. paris is where they come with a promise of a community that values creativity and passion for art over all else.

because art is for everyone, right? priceless works in museums for all to appreciate. with the fall of louis xvi and the subsequent suspension of the academy that followed, art was supposed to be for the people. and it is, to a certain extent. consumable by all in a way. crumbs for some, herded like cattle through long winding lines at the louvre. some just lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the famed mona lisa after shuffling through the crowd on aching feet for hours. for others, those from the upper echelon, with their lavish lives and wealth, it’s a full-course meal of the finest art the world has to offer and they’ll greedily still ask for more at the expense of those fighting for the crumbs.

and there are those underhanded and powerful enough who will take it for a price. all moral implications be damned. they’ll take it at the expense of the creators, they’ll ruin reputations for those who get in their way.

art is for the people but everything always has a price.  

SKIN PREVIEW & UPDATE

hi eveyone! I hope everybody has had an enjoyable holiday break and happy thanksgiving to those who celebrate. here is a sneaky look at the skin that dana has worked so hard on. it’s unlike anything i (lauren) have ever seen before—and something refreshing, new and different to a lot of other real life and city sites out there. 

as you can see from the previews we’ve kept things pretty minimalistic. the navigation can be found in the top right corner of the skin and will move as you scroll through the site, same with the sidebar as well.  

we’ll be releasing the application code in the next few days as well as announcing our opening date. due to my work scheduling an impromptu training trip to singapore at the last minute we’ve had to push the original date back to ensure that all of us will be around.
