[RETIRED] Multiavatar Staff Pager V2 and Animations Weekend

For this event of Builder's Bargains, we've released an updated version of the multi avatar staff pager board. Most likely, one of the lowest lag and LI (Land Impact) multi avatar staff boards in all the grid.

Optimized scripts from the previous version, and optimized LI of the pre-made, included boards. Thanks to this, you may have up to 50 avatars in a single, linked board, using the minimum possible of resources.

Highly customizable, group/white list management functions, backup ability, and new auxiliary tool included for you to set it up easily, make of this board an essential tool in your business.

The Femdom Hunt III

Have you completed the Full Perm Hunt 6? Then hurry, for this hunt will be over October 8th. And if you wish to continue hunting... October 12th begins The Femdom Hunt III, and the adult store will participate in it.

The organizers are doing an excellent job. Every stage is coordinated and explained very clearly, meeting the deadlines for each stage's walkthrough, documenting it thoroughly in their blog, sending numerous notes and individual follow-ups whether there are issues to fix or there are not. This happens of course in the rest of hunts, but it has been in this one where I have noticed this very specific way of keeping everything and everybody up to date.


So once again... Get ready your hunter shoes! October 12th, The Femdom hunt is here. (Keep in mind that this is a mature/adult hunt - In order to get to my store, specifically, you will need to be age verified.)

Weekend deals and the Twisted Hunt

This weekend we have a new release in the store, set to L$60 for Sixty Linden Weekends, plus a couple of hunts that have started.

The new release is a slide show script for one prim, with some extra options. It will allow you to display a slide show on the face of a prim, incorporating all the textures you install into the object, changing slides either upon touch or on a timed interval.


There are some owner only functions:
  • Decide if the slides will be switched upon touch or on a timed interval
  • Set the full bright property of the picture on or off
  • Set the timer interval
  • Set which face of the prim will display the slides

The documentation also includes an Appendix which explains how to optimize the LI of the builds you create with this script, when it is possible.

Regarding the hunts. One is Too cute to be true. For this one I've made a full permissions animation for creators. This time I've made it a bit more complicated to find.

Then, the other hunt running this month...


Yes, that's it. The Twisted Hunt. I'm already dressing the store for the event, so expect it to be changing during the month. Expect also the boxes to be changing location during this time.

My personal theme for this run of the Twisted Hunt is Alice in Wonderland. I will try that all the hints are quotes from the book. There's an Alice setup in the store, but this of course doesn't mean the gifts will be there. They may, or may not, it depends of what I decide when I change them.


Once the current hint is not useful anymore, I will publish it together with the location the gift was in. That means, when you see a hint published here... I've moved the gift.

There's the regular gift, and one for petites. Enjoy!

Halloween News!

There are five new releases this weekend at the main store. Five creator tools including two scripts, one book and two sets of poses. They all are intended to be supplies for creators, to get ready their products for Halloween.


Let's begin with the "big brother" of the hunt prize I made for "Build a Nightmare". That script worked only on one prim, and I thought it would be a good idea to make a linked version, which allows to minimize lag. Not only that: if you read the documentation, you will also find out how to decrease the LI of your items built to be used with this script.

The following book is a reviewed version from a class I made two years ago. It also includes helper tools that the class didn't have, like the 1-LI background and pose stand with bonus pose.

And finally, a script to help creating flying brooms, by covering the Animation Override part, and two packs of poses to be used with it:

If you click on your attachment when it is attached (owner only), the AO script will also show you a menu that will allow to select one from all the poses/animations that the object may contain.



And everything released at 60 L$ during the weekend!

Don't miss this deal before prices raise to the final ones on Monday.

Have fun creating Halloween items!

Messenger Tool

There it is a new tool added this week. Released under 60 L$ weekends, this little jewel will allow you to send messages, notecards, landmarks and others, to a list of people of your preference (say students, say clients, say your close friends). It's a HUD, so you can use it wherever you are.

Textures, an animation... It's weekend!

Weekend is here!

To begin with, I've released new a set of textures at promo price, at my satellite store at the Creators Village (Builder's Brewery). The whole set is now available there only for 75 L$ - Once the promotion is over, it will come to the main store at normal release price.


Then we have 60 L$ weekends, and a new full perms animation released for it!

If you have animation sets where your sub/pet/slave is exposed and waiting for you to do something, and you were missing a standing animation for the dom, this is your animation, "His Approval." The mirrored animation is included, as well as two static poses if you wish to use them in photo props.


Also, a book and a script from my existing stock. Go see which ones :-)

And don't forget also to check out the home and garden store!
Super Sales Weekend is another event running, and I will be setting items there from both the home and garden store... and the adult one!

[RETIRED ITEM - PHOTO NOT AVAILABLE]

So the weekend is here. Enjoy!

Migrating to Direct Delivery

Please be patient with me. I have to migrate (including a review of all landmarks, links, licenses and other details) 70 items, and I'll be uploading the about 50 new ones. Not a huge listing, I know, but I would like to have it done today. It will be worth it. I'm already loving Direct Delivery and the new options.

The "Home and Garden Expo" is now open

And I'm proud of showcasing in there this year, together with many great creators.

For this Expo I've worked hard in releasing many new items. I'll post them later in the week. The ones I'm showing now, and that I hope help in raising funds, are these:

[RETIRED ITEM - PHOTO NOT AVAILABLE]

There's a story in my life that makes crystal roses to be so special to me. I thought that this would be a good moment to introduce my own.

[RETIRED ITEM - PHOTO NOT AVAILABLE]

This fountain will fit any spot from your garden. It controls, via a menu, the sound (to turn it on/off) and the light that comes from the base (also to turn it on/off.) You may also decide who will take control over these settings, as the menu incorporates an access management to set it to owner only, everybody, or just the group the fountain is rezzed under.

Enjoy, and remember that the Expo will run until May 28th!

[RETIRED] Sculpted prims and a new book

As I promised, next releases would be for creators, and here they are! Right now, you may find in the main store four sculpt maps sets (very affordable prices):

[RETIRED ITEMS - PHOTOS NOT AVAILABLE]

and one more book for the "Basic Scripting for Builders" series. The third book, featuring the essential "on/off effects upon touch" topic.

You will see how easy it is to have only one script performing many actions on/off upon touch. Let me guide you through this book and you'll make it :-)
