It's been awhile, but! Horn Lighting is here!

Hey, it's been awhile since our last release, huh? Well, we've both been having computer issues, and I'm afraid the storm hasn't fully weathered over - but we managed to push some stuff out at least!

Since we're operating again (and I at least, am on a new PC) - I am sure you'll see more releases in the near future.

So let me tell you about my new releases, and don't forget to read the last part there as there is info on a free hunt item & a 30L$ item which will be available for 6 days...(about 10c USD, so practically giving it away!!)

Where are we?

It's been over 2 weeks since we released a normal product, I know - there is good reason...

We were working on bath tubs when we encountered sudden computer failing, and currently we have no files at all. Code, the other designer, is working fervently to come up with new designs which don't require the same texture set, but we don't know how long it will take.

It's a minor delay, but I have felt quite bad about it as we did legitimately have some great releases lined up.

25L$ Tues again

It's here again, 25L$ Tues!

Our other designers computer has crashed, so the ideas we had for this weeks round are out, but I improvised and have made a lovely tunic set for males & females. It is white featuring green accents and brown ties in the back, with either a short skirt (insert) or knee length option for both genders. It looks great on it's own or with pants/leggings.

I've included 2 unedited images so you can get a clearer example, it follows the 25L$ white/green colour theme and will probably only be available for 25L$ Tues, get it by Tues night or you wont see it for awhile/ever.

It has slightly longer sleeves, 3/4 length, and comes on pretty much all layers possible. Stop by and get it at Neyo!

New Group Freebie :D

I set out to find a unique group freebie that people might like, especially something for both genders.

So I made a tunic for men and women alike, each has a specially sized belt and different textured top (men don't have boobs as it turns out, or nearly as wide hips...)

Now, I am no guy and I don't think you want to see my 'drag' costume (female skin on male shape) but here is me with the female counterpart. It's red with brown lining & black ties in the back. It looks really deliciously rustic and is awesome for just about anywhere! It can be used for Free & slave alike in Gor, and most everyone in normal RP environments. Layer it over a longer underskirt for a modest look, or take off the long skirt and use the 'insert' for a just barely covering (or over pants) look!


Best thing of all, is it's 100% free for my store group members, if you're not a part of it, please join today! There is a group inviter at almost all of our store outlets as well as our main store in Neyo... Oh and you can check my profile (anke hatchuk) for it, too.

Without further ado, pictures!

Freebies are always good

Anyone who has been in my store group, or known me for any amount of time knows I have some type of addiction to giving things away. I admit it too, I have some secret itch to give freebies away.

So I was a little irritable when I got complaints over freebies on the Marketplace, but mostly they're removed for now and I have moved them as well as some of the favorite old [DDD] freebies to a location on our sim. 

Right now there isn't a lot there, and some of it is mega old, like from 2006/2007 era of [DDD] - but some of it is newer, and I am adding more when I get to it. Two of the 'free avatars' are there, the slave one and the FW, and both have had their laggy as hell resizer scripts removed, and mod rights added. No one likes resizers anyways. They both still have basic hair, skin (old), AOs, and outfits. The slave one also has the really handy basic animator HUD, drop in animations, and use anywhere. Really handy for dances.

I also added a bonus easter tunic to the "Unisex" tunic box, it's in nicer colours (greens) so stop by and grab that, too.Well, I can't think of much else, except maybe that we are working on new releases and hopefully will have some bath themed items out and ready for you by the end of the weekend. We're also in 25L$ Tues next Tues, so more info on that later.


Oh! It's the /final/ day for the 30L$ Black Egg Hunt, it ends tomorrow, and we made a brand new item for it this round, it's pretty easy to find, so stop by our main store and grab it!

Not that I really think anyone reads this but...
Have a good Friday/weekend all!

25L$ Tues again! Adorable little box

25L$ Tues is back again! Wohoo!

I have one new item for it, and hopefully you'll like it! It's the "Collectors Box" - it has a myriad of jars, pouches, cloth bundles.. and all at only 2 prims. It's not 2D, it's 3D! The items are really there, and the best part is that it can be used in -anything-!

Need a secret herb stash? Poisons? KANDA? Uh huh... This is your box! Come visit and check it out for 25L$ Tuesday, or if you're late it'll be only 100L$ and it is available like normal through vendors, in store world, or Marketplace!

So please! You can check them out at our Marketplace store or inworld at our ever growing mainstore on Neyo .

Hope to see you soon, don't miss out on the great deal!

25L$ Tues & New Book-shelves!

Yep! That's right, we finally got into 25L$ Tuesday, so this week we're kicking it off with 2 products:

First, a 4 pack of sculpted rugs that usually sells for 140L$ - released last week &
secondly - books on a shelf for just one prim! - the ones seen in the top right corner.

We're also releasing 2 and 3 prim varieties with candles, we anticipate more candle-y products in the near future and so much more, so keep your ears open, and stop by tonight/tomorrow!

The other books on shelf varieties come in 2 and 3 prim options, if you choose to omit the candle glow prim it'll only ever be  a minimal 2 prims for a beautiful, non particle candle effect. They're on display at the store and for sale (copyable of course!!) for 85L$ per shelf or 235L$ for all 4, so that you can decorate on a budget without being repetitive!

They're also unscripted, and do not include 'real' SL lighting, so we keep you low on the laggy charts too.

You can check them out at our Marketplace store or inworld at our ever growing mainstore on Neyo .

But you can only purchase individual shelves in world =)


Hope to see you soon, and make sure to pick up the sales while they last ! (they end March 20th, 11:59 PM!)

Mini-Release Out!

I decided I hated the alpha layer rugs in the store, so I quickly applied some shading to the textures and put them in a plane sculpted base, there is round and square in both the brown & black colours. I didn't like the white one so it is not included. They're 35L$ each or 140 for the pack. You can check them out at our Marketplace store or inworld at our ever growing mainstore on Neyo.

They're a temporary solution as we eventually intend on adding a wide variety of new sculpted (non alpha) rugs to the store, probably in mesh.

New fireplaces, done!

Our new fireplaces are out at Dysfunctional Designs - they're 3 prims without the smokestack, 4 with - and of course 100% Mesh!

They feature hand baked shadows, realistic mesh fire, and the option to have subtle crackling sounds. There is two styles, with the non-corner version having two options of grates for sale.

You can check them out at our Marketplace store or inworld at our ever growing mainstore on Neyo.

They're 265L$ Each, fully copyable, and the smokestack is modifiable to fit to your ceiling (or not have one at all!)

Our Corner version seems to be the most popular, so without further ado -

Don't forget we're also participating in the Beauty & the Freak Hunt til the 24th, as well as 30L$ Saturday today (March 10th)...

Hope to see you soon!

They're donnneee

Fireplaces are done, all we can say to that is "Fucking finally."

We have spent a week working out the kinks and quirks to these things, and I cut them down to 4 options and 3 varieties. Grate style 1 and 2 are sold separately, and a corner version has only grate style 2 as I think the style 1 didn't look good.

They're copyable, and the smokestacks are also mod but separate prim incase you don't want it. They have options for light emission or sound emission or not. 265L$ each option. I am still working on their advertisements so they're in-store only at the moment. The smokestack is 1 prim, and the fireplaces are each 3 prims, please note if you resize the smokestack big enough it may increase in prim count!

You'll see them as soon as you enter the store, straight on back. =) Perfect to couple with our 30L$ Saturday item and our hunt item, both which start tomorrow!

Almost done

Fireplace display models are out at the store now, we're also participating in this weeks 30L$ Saturday rounds with an adorable rug featuring 2 animations, 7 sculpted prims, and dispensing props. It is NOT mesh.


The hunt also begins this week, and it is a 'round' hunt, so start at the store and work your way back around! Our adorable basket of small logs are featured there, and the two awesome Trident shops come right after us!

Hope to see you all this weekend, it's going to be a busy one!

Style one finished!

While we anticipate more versions to come out soon, we were rushing to finish this by the Beauty & the Freak Hunt that we're participating in as it is the cute little logs in a basket which compliment the fireplaces quite well.

We decided to not script them, mainly due to how mesh reacts with being scripted. It basically doubles the prim/LE cost to the consumer, so we instead are providing many options for the price of one, they come default with both styles of our fireplace grates (which have light emitting or no light emitting versions) as well as with a shadow or without,and with sound and without. Yes, that is 16 options total... and no there is no scripts. So it'll be packaged in either subsets or with a script (which asks you what type you want upon rez)... we'll see.

Meanwhile - some pics.

We are of course, also working on corner ones (which may or may not be done) and anticipate releasing these complete with a separate smoke-stack on top for those of you who desire one.

They're only 3 prims though as of current, 4 with smoke stack. That is pretty damned good if I say so myself.

Fireplaces currently..

Thoughts? Feedback? Critique? We're still working on adjusting the textures, but let me know what you think. This is the latest.

Fires Picture TERRIBLY! Just fyi :D

I decided to upload some images of the fire products on a black background so you can see they look a lot better than on the white in the advertisements...

I really suggest seeing them in world though as there are animated textures and subtle particle effects that complete the look.
You can see all of them on our main sim of Neyo.

Fireplace Grates, Log Baskets, & Stacked Logs!

We recently released our Fireplace Grates (2 styles), Log baskets (2 styles), and Stacked Logs (3 stacked, bound by rope) - they're all 95-175L$ each and are 1 or 2 prims each! The Logs come in 4 varying sizes to fit both inside the home and out.

We are also working on Fireplaces (3 styles possibly) for release in the near future, we anticipate scripting them more with possibly a built in animation menu - we will see how that goes, and may just build it into a stand-alone rug. Anticipate their pricing to be sub 400L$, but possibly over 300, and copyable. Our estimated prim count is currently under 5 each.

Ideally, they'll be out within the week! Our baths, dance pit, wash basin (sponge bathe 60s loop+more), and possibly chore tables are lined up for the rest of this month. We're a little behind but are doing our best, Code recently spent about 100 hours on our new low lag animation script, the end of MLP and multi-script pose systems.

Updated Torches

We also updated our awesome mesh torches - only the non candle versions needed the update though...

First off, they have the new fire texture like the braziers... Making them a LOT more realistic. Secondly, we removed an awry script in them, they are now only 2 prims like their candle equivalent, meaning you can put out a lot more with a lot less! Here are their new ads, sadly the fire is hard to see in picture, but they look wonderful in person, so please come view them in world!

A Wild Brazier Appears!

My favorite releases of all the items so far is our brand new Braziers! They were released on the 16th of Feb (2012! for all you late to the party!) and are only 2 prims equivalent/LI each which means even though they are composed of 3 parts, they only count as 2 prims on your land making them very appealing indeed!

They come in versions which emit light, and those which don't, so you can choose to have emitted light on yours or not. If I am going to use a lot, I typically alternate one which emits light every other, unless they're pretty far apart. Too much light is bad, but just enough can really make a scene very real.

They're 175L$ per variety, and I absolutely encourage you to view them in world as the flames look amazing. My favorite is the burning ember ones, as the way the flames lick over the glowing coals is just beautiful and so relaxing!




Otherwise, you can view them on our marketplace. As always, they're also sold through our affiliate vendors (20% commission, no start up fee) as well!

Bookcases Released!

Attached is all the current released bookcases, ranging from 1 prim to a max of 3! They're all no mod, copy, no transfer, and 100% hand made mesh. We are so excited to offer them to you! Price is 125 for A and B varieties, and 195 for the C/D/E pack which includes a few varieties of just 'books' to fill up your library, scribery, office, or home in general =)

There is unpictured several varieties - A,B, and C/D/E in each the bookbench, thin, and normal varieties! Please see our marketplace for a full listing of all of them, or also visit us inworld to see them!

Bookcases! Bookcases! Bookcases!

I just wanted to do a quick post about our awesome bookcases that we have out, and a sneak peek of the ones we are about to release!


The above image is a preview of the short bench-style bookcases we will be releasing. We intend on having scripted versions with single, and couple poses available (maybe even a naughty one or two!) released shortly after.


Like our other model bookcases, it will come in range between 1-2 prims with 5 varieties available - we really don't like how repetitive some libraries in SL look! They will also be copyable, of course!


I also wanted to update a few about some items that were initially mislabelled - The bookcases we have are 1, 2, and 3 prims. No more than 3 prims count against your land at any time. The wells are also only 4 prims. I use 'prims' in term of LI - land impact. Land Impact is the new way of defining parcels, LI means that it takes up the equivalent of 1/15000 of that sims resources, a great guide to this can be found at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Mesh/Prims-Prim-Equivalent-Land-Impact-a-too-long-guide/td-p/1293579


We encourage everyone to visit the link and briefly look it over, as it can help so many who are misinformed.

Anticipate the first of these to be released this week, and so much more like wall and ground torches, perhaps some pathways, a second version of out extremely popular study books, and some candles!

Helllooooo-oooo-ooo

I would like to announce the re-opening of our blog! Please check out the awesome new and great items we have released, almost all of them done in mesh and extremely low prim, while retaining our typical quality!


We're also open on the Marketplace with over a dozen freebies currently listed!
