OMG! Major Surprise Lands at Palmadora! Exclusive Pics and Video!

Every so often when I have the time, I pay Palmadora a visit because it's one of my most favorite places in Twinity. When I took a ride around the island this past Saturday, I noticed that things looked a bit different, as if some new content had been added. For one, I noticed these style of houses for the first time.



Unlike so much of the "property" around Twinity, it's one of the few you can enter to from the outside without having to teleport, which actually is a good thing.

"Hmmm..." I thought. "Is this a new type of house being developed?"

I then kept riding. I suddenly noticed helicopters in the distance:


"Helicopters?" I thought. "Well, that's interesting. But why are they just floating in the air like that?"

I rode some more... And that's when I saw why the copters were there. You see, the helicopters weren't there by themselves or floating in air at all; they were part of something that hadn't loaded yet. When the object did finally load, I was so shocked that I almost had a heart attack. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you too will flip. Look below! =-)


Yes, that's right! A huge luxury cruise ship has landed at Palmadora's shores!

And this is not what you think, just a pretty prop in the distance. The ship is actually explorable! Of course you'll have to "fly" to reach it, but once you do and land on the top deck, it's fully explorable. Check out these awesome pics!

One last shot of the cruise ship from the beach! 

Below is a small video I made, showing the ship in all its glory:



Who made this ship? It appears that Anshe Chung Studios, the developer behind Palmadora, is behind this. Well, to the people at Anshe Chung, thanks for your outstanding contribution to Twinity; it is greatly appreciated! This ship is positively awesome, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for it and the rest of Palmadora!

If you still can't see it, it could be that it's taking awhile for it to load. I know that for the first time I went to Palmadora after the cruise ship was added, it took a few minutes before it all loaded.”
