Access and parking is relatively easy! Just mind the eternally burning Trolley wreckage in the front and don’t hit the Arukas Trees!

Each floor is contained in a realtime dimensional envelope, either copied from an existing universe, or salvaged from a dead or dying one! We pride ourselves on our dedication and upkeep of these mini-realities for your exploration and enjoyment!

On your way to the elevator, take note of our lovely open ceiling displaying one of many infinite night skies. Don’t worry about the crumbling tiles, They automatically regenerate and never lose structural integrety!

One of our very first floors was the almighty Abstraction Chamber, sliced from a dimension of mure thought and imagination. The Abstraction chamber, although small, encourages visitors to journey within their own minds and the bounds of their own imagination…

                                  F l o o r   22   -   Whitespace

An addition we accquired a little over 20 Earth years ago from a nice bald man with a suit, sunglasses, and some wicked drugs, Whitespace offers a calming white void for visitors to relax in, complete with complementary chairs and a radio to listen to some classic tunes. The Whitespace floor can be influenced by visitors imaginations to create almost anything one can think of. Psychoactive drugs not included.

And Finally, our most recent addition…

                                  F l o o r   40   -   The Classic Penthouse

After some strenuous work, we were able to satisfy mass clientele demand by salvaging this small sliver of a forgotten and crumbling dimension! Featuring a large open floorplan and a nostalgic vibe, this floor is for folks wanting to relive the glory days of a time long past…

This floor, as well as others, are now available for tours anytime at Samsara Tower! Come visit and take in all the multiverse has to offer!

Samsara Tower, Where You have the Power any hour!

Ok, Cheesy Advert aside, this is mainly focusing on the Lobby and Floor 40 of Samsara Tower. It took me a couple weeks, but by go’d its finally done. This is the most in-depth build I’ve ever done, and it hasn’t been easy. While the Lobby was less difficult, the “Penthouse” was significantly harder due to the lack of video and Photo resources of the old GMT Lobby 2 Condo. I got what I could from the map file I have, but everything else was straight eyeballing from what little video and photo I could find.
The “Penthouse” as you may have surmised is a recreation of the GMT Lobby 2 condo, detail for detail. The Decorations were based off of @Arkive86 's old GMT condo from his video, so props to him for being an inspiration. Wether or not this ends up winning is ultimately irrelevant (Though it would be nice), this was mainly meant to be a callback for veteran players of GMT, and one that I figured everyone could enjoy. Good luck to everyone!
