Would love to see a 3d recreation of as much as possible. Would be cool to go thru all the videos and documentation of it and build a real 3d world from that
I believe I have them lying around somewhere but didn’t really have time yet to read them. I think I’ll see if I can find them and start on them this weekend!
Lol I just saw that video yesterday and was going to show it here, but you beat me to it. Great video! I’d literally never heard of the place and now it’s popped up twice in two days.
None on hand at the moment. If you log in though, search on the world map for Kowloon. Google image and video search will also turn up results if you enter in secondlife and Kowloon.
The sim itself isn’t trying to be absolutely authentic. Though the neon lit main street is fairly representative. And it does have an authentic display of what residential quarters would look like.

That’s excellent! Thank you.
William Gibson writes about this in his book idoru
Thanks! Always nice seeing Cyberpunk recommendations. Put it on my wishlist!
Great, I enjoyed it, hope you do too. Not quite as good as his sprawl series imo but definitely worth reading.
Edit - and if you’ve not read the sprawl series you and you like cyberpunk - wow, you are in for a treat!

Thank you for the inspiration!
Ask and you shall receive. Literally popped up last night for me. How convenient. Sure, it’s Minecraft, but still pretty cool.

Sort of amazing people are just discovering this now, I was so into this when I first found out about it back in the tumblr days
There’s been a version of it in second life for about 20 years I think.
Have a link to it? Or a screenshot?
