Two announcements -- August Hunt and a New Release!

Well I'm going to talk about the hunt first, because I'm all geeked up about that hehehehe. Finally got the ad all made up for that, and I've been having all SORTS of fun re-landscaping and prim-cutting (and adding prims back :P) on Riff Raff Paradise. Here's a tip -- even though we're not quite at August yet, you'll enjoy the view much more nowadays if you put your environmental settings to midnight (Go up to your menu bar, go to Environment Settings > Midnight).

The "hunt" for the month of August is like the Hamster Hunt we held for the grand-opening of Riff Raff Paradise. Unlike the Hamster Hunt, however, this "hunt" is more of a quest. The theme is "Midsummer Night," which is why I've put up a lot of more whimsical landscaping than what was originally there.

Why is it called a quest? Because there is a definite start point, and you ARE trying to get to a definite end point. Once you reach the end, you are given a reward for getting there! Between the start and end point, you will be looking for 12blue moons hidden around the transformed plot. Each moon's location will be revealed to you through a hint. For each moon you are able to find, you receive a reward from one of us (RGK, Rebel Fairey or Alpha-Delta Designs)and a clue to the next moon in line. Once you've found the 12th blue moon, you will then be shown how to find your way to your final goal, which is where the spirits of the Quest reside.

All quests have a story -- well here it is:

Three maiden fairies long ago were abducted from the land where Riff Raff Paradise now stands. Once a year, at Midsummer, the spirits of these three fairies return to their home and take over the land, transforming everything to the way they once knew. During this time, they beseech visitors to pay a visit to them, but only if they are able to prove their cunning first. So they send their willing visitors-to-be on a journey that tests their cunning and guile. If their guests are able to pass the test, the fairies deem them trustworthy and worthy of their company. Visitors are rewarded with one last gift for their troubles.

I hope you all have as much fun going on this quest as I have in putting together all the landscaping and stuff LOL.



Having NOTHING to do with the quest is RGK's newest release, the Portable TV!

Just a fun little accessory that goes back to RGK Custom Photo Service's roots, which is to try to come up with products that help you use your textures in fun and creative ways.

Obviously, from the pic you can see it's not a "portable TV" perse, but a smartass name for basically carrying around an old-fashioned TV on your back :P LOL

The fun thing about this piece is that you can load way more than one pic to it. It's been pre-loaded to demonstrate how it works once you get pics into the thing, but basically it has an animated "TV With Static" texture, and over top of that is a prim into which you drop your own pics. The overall effect being that your textures look like faint reception of a TV show or something hehehehe.

Instructions on loading textures into this TV is included in the box. The other neat thing with this is that I've found a great NEW menu script that is MUCH simpler to use than ones that I've included in past products. I'm always on the lookout for newer and better, and I think I found it with this one :)

When you click the TV, you get options to change textures, resize, reposition AND change rotation! No posestands needed, and this is friendly to those who are not handy with using the edit tools SL gives us.

Not only is the TV itself texture-change, but so are the straps used in carrying the TV. You can choose to either texture change the TV or the straps by using submenu categories. WOOOT! So you can mix and match the textures that have been included to personalize your look!

Some cool ideas for textures you can add:
*Obviously your friends and loved ones
*messages you can make up yourself in Gimp or Photoshop (No drama, I'm a bish, etc.)
*Advertising a product or business you may own or be a part of

Just some thoughts ;)

Hope you all enjoy both these new things!
