Studio Dust Palace offers a
friendly and fun atmosphere for people of all ages. Relax
with friends, artists, musicians and other creative
souls.
Studio Dust takes pride in being a
friendly and welcoming place where everyone is invited to
sit on the big front porch in the front room with friends
or stir up some creativity in the studio rooms.
Several of our friends have musical works "on display"
in our "Featured Performers" rooms.
Tell some jokes in the "Comedy Club",
vacation on "Studio Dust Island", relax on the "Nature Trail",
or follow the "Path to Romance" where we have an animated
Tunnel of Love.
For some friendly competition and amusement, we have several
game rooms including the popular dice game, Yahtzee.
Just for fun we maintain a real-time list of
high scores.
Come sail to an island with us.
Studio Dust Island is our tropical paradise
with beaches, music, mermaids,
cabana boys and a shark racing game.
Actually, you do the racing, the shark is just hungry :)
Studio Dust also has several Avatar dispensers for your
prop-shopping pleasure. You'll find male and female figures,
island attire and animals. We even have avatars of our personal
pets, both real and imaginary.

... is another Palace hosted by Studio Dust.
Nobody's Home is designed and run by and for kids.
There are lots of cool rooms to hang out in, games, avatars
and fun effects.
You're sure to enjoy chillin' and stompin' at Nobody's Home.
Come say "hi" to the friendly staff. They'll be happy to
show you around.
Palace is an interactive, graphic chat program.
You and those you are chatting with appear as
images and names called Avatars. The chat messages
appear as cartoon-style talk balloons. Some people are
quite creative at making their own Avatars.
The chat rooms at each Palace server are pictures with active
spots such as doors linking to other rooms on the server,
Avatar dispensers, animations, sounds and other interactive things.
The company that owned the software and rights
discontinued providing support for The Palace in the Fall of 2000.
Thanks to a dedicated group of users and programmers,
the Palace community has continued to provide support and guidance
for new and experienced Palace users.
Another group of users and programmers acquired the use of the
ThePalace.com
domain name and they provide a source for information and software.
Other resources for Palace information are listed below.
There are three ways you can visit
Studio Dust Palace:
The stand-alone Palace client program
The Palace Viewer java applet (currently not available)
The Instant Palace java applet
The stand-alone Palace Client program offers the most features
and is compatible with Windows and Macintosh.
This software and registration codes are still available at some
download sites.
If you do not have the stand-alone client program or the
TPV java applet, you can still visit Studio Dust Palace
using the Instant Palace java applet.
Instant Palace is not a complete implementation of the Palace
interface -
the audio presentations will not work and you cannot wear
Avatar pictures other than smiley faces. But you can choose
your own name, see the background pictures and chat with
the other visitors.
Some resources, tools and programs
