BABY KASHY’S SHELTERS
A baby’s unrestricted imaginative is capable of far more creativity than an adult, without heed to what is “possible” or “normal”. Baby KASHY’s shelters are as diverse as they are original.
VISAGE
VISAGE is a modern art gallery of faces. The weird, wonderful and beautiful, with a grand self-portrait as a finale. Impossible silhouettes bathe in colours that don’t exist in the game, as decorative masks sit neatly on floors against all the rules and even the game mechanics in this particular shelter. The grand portrait wears makeup, staring at visitors with a Mona Lisa-like intensity. The complexity of this build is hidden behind its simple appearance, with many little challenges, including some weird shelter boundaries and not the least of which is my limited artistic skills. VISAGE is perhaps, of all my shelter and camp builds, the one I am most happy with.

BABY’S BASEMENT
Baby found a disused presidential bunker, with access to many locations as well as recording messages to what is left of the nation. Visitors make a choice upon entry - left for commies (they get blown up) or right for patriots (welcomed by celebratory fireworks). The main room features a large desk for the president, as well as a table for plotting the death of more innocents. There is a concealed bathroom, and built-in refrigerators that baby has mostly turned into toy cupboards. She also turned a small utility room into a cosy bedroom behind a curtain, as well as commandeering the presidential seal rug as a place to play with her toys. The warmongering president set up some displays to explode at the flick of a switch, and done the same for his desk too. Behind the rear door is a fully equipped workshop and buff area, making this a most practical space.

IT JUST WORKS
in an isolated location, out of touch with humanity, you will find the corporate office of an enterprise headed up by a greedy toad. The lobby brings the visitor to a lovely sales area tasked with separating them from their money, and then disguising that by conducting transactions in a virtual currency that loses all meaning. One level up is admin, with HR, finance and strategy operations busily transacting temporary dopamine for permanent gold. The next level up is allocated to technical design, testing and support, appearing to receive none of the proceeds counted so carefully below. The top floor is the toad’s office, relishing in its slime. Below all this, the basement houses a server room, which is, well, we all know what it is. It explodes every now and then but never mind.

MODERN TOWNHOUSE
The residence is as elegant as it is welcoming. A quaint approach takes the visitor to a doo which opens onto a large area featuring three statues behind wire threads, each in its own colour theme. To the left is a lounge area, still set up from Christmas, because why not? To the right is an adult’s bedroom, complete with walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom. Moving further in, a modern kitchen is seen on the right, complete with food in preparation. Opposite is a second bedroom, this time for children, with toys, and its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. At the back on the left is a powder room, and beside it a laundry room. Looking through windows on all sides the visitor can see grass below and stars above. Baby’s apartment is simply a really lovely place to be. Featured in the video THE DRONE RACING LEAGUE

TAKE ME WITH YOU
The alien spaceship hovers in a remote desert location, beside an abandoned barn of some sort, since converted by the aliens to be some sort of servicing facility. There is a meteor shower nearby, which doesn’t seem to bother them. The spaceship appears to have excellent gliding capability and is well-armed, so with side and rear propulsion systems is ready for regular flights in and out of planetary atmospheres. Some of the crew are sleeping, some are on duty, and, unsurprisingly, an eviscerated cow lies dead on the ground below, its only company the flies that made their home in it.

KONSPIRACY HOME
Konspiracy KASHY’s home is dark, with mysterious monsters, aliens and mythical beings peeking through every window, some on the grass, and some before the starry sky. Surrounded by posters and artifacts, she watches movies that feed her beliefs as she plots alien sightings. Her home is practical and generally comfortable too, with a neat food preparation and eating area, as well as outdoor bathroom facilities. Upstairs, through a narrow steamy corridor and past a strange metallic artifact, her bedroom is bathed in swirling purple light. The bed itself surrounded by twisted metal threads, and her message of hope is written on the mirror. Her steamy onsen is also bathed in the same swirling lights, creating a wonderfully relaxing experience. A darkened sideroom accesses a drone destined for a mysterious location.
