Group Gift!

Yay :) The new main store is all finished up, and with it are some new features that we're excited about. I'll talk about those a bit later hahaha. Mostly, I'm excited about the upcoming new release, and the group gift that we sent out today!

Being busy with the new setup, we unfortunately haven't had a new release lately, and we also missed the boat for St. Patty's day funness. To make up for it, we're putting on a push to go all-out for Easter. We kicked it off with an exclusive group gift -- A set of our new "Peeps Galore" neko tail and ears in Exclusive Purple. The tail and ears will be released this weekend in limited edition Easter colors, so if you're not in the RGK Posse, hold tight! They're coming ;)

Now, we did say that there are a couple of new features in the new main store setup. Here they are:

GACHA! These are some fun machines that you see out and about in some shops and malls. Basically, it's SL's rendition of those gumball machines you see in RL grocery stores that dispense plastic bubbles that have temporary tattoos, cheapo-jewelry or fun little toys in them. We have two Gacha machines at the moment, and each one is loaded up with different stuff. One has the Gun Show camis in them, for 20L, and the other has some of the items that we put up in past hunts, those are for 15L. The hunt items in the second gacha, many come with re-size by menu scripts and texture-change options, so for 15L you really are getting WAY more than your money's worth! The fun in gacha machines is in not knowing exactly which item (or color of item, in the case of the camis) you will get.

MM BOARD! It's BACK! We took it down for a while but decided to bring it back because it's just a fun thing to have around lol. The big difference now is that it is up to our visitors to suggest what we should put in the MM Board. GRAB A NOTECARD FROM THE SIGN NEXT TO THE MM BOARD and fill it in to make your suggestion ;) Soooo, it only gets updated as often as we get suggestions from YOU! And yes, we will force the board before we log for the night if we see that some people have slapped the MM board ... we're on EST, so figure on it getting forced by around 7 p.m. SLT on most days, unless it locks down way before then.

As you can see, we've already gotten one suggestion from someone and have faithfully put it up there ;) We don't know what you want until you tell us, so be sure to let us know!

Still there is the Lucky Chair, which we're getting ready to update, and we are going to try to get one more gacha machine going. We'll see how it works LOL.

Sooo, let's start hearing from you! Start sending Chippie them notecards with your suggestion on MM board items and get things going!

Hunt Gifts! Round 1!!!

Here's a lil' preview of 8 of the 12 items that will be in the Hamster Hunt :)

The first bunch of pics is what Alpha-Delta Designs will have in the hunt that starts on Saturday at 12 a.m. (midnight):






These pieces are pretty self-explanatory. The quality of her work is impeccable and I know men and women alike will enjoy Vel's pieces to no end!

Below are pics of the pieces that my sissy Shayne Fairey, designer of Rebel Fairey, will have in her hunt. The photos that I've taken do no justice to the quality of her pieces either. Hers are all items that I know you will all enjoy!

Shayne will be offering up a set of skull earrings, an awesome lip ring, cute thumb ring and one of my fave pieces of hers, a metal dolphin choker!

Now the duck is smoking!

Well SL behaved yesterday for a change, and got a lot done on my next project! Here's another sneak peek at one of the parts of the upcoming release I've been working on.

Thinking I may release this to group members as a group freebie. It's been a long time since I've sent one out, and it'll give y'all a bit of the spirit in which I've put this next piece together.

The Punkass Duck, as I call him, is a little nutty, dirty and perhaps embarassing. He'll make a good shoulder pet for those days you're in one of those random moods hehehehe. So you just wear him, and you and your friends click on him and pick from the menu a phrase for him to say. If any one of you reads Terry Prachett's stuff, you'll recognize some of what's there. Click away and have some random fun ;)

All I've really got left to finish up the next release are some finishing details, which I always have the hardest time with *ugh* They'e BORING but necessary. *holds back an "I DUN WANNA DO IT!" tantrum.

Hoping it'll be done in the next day or two ... yaaaay!

Midnight Mania

Wellll, so, I've discovered Midnight Mania. It's a good thing and a bad thing LOL.

I'm completely, and totally hooked on it, I have to say. I've gotten some pretty amazing things from being in the free chatter groups, where you get IMs on items being offered up by vendors, people who find MM boards etc. I've gotten a STORE (woot! I'll use that when I need more room for all my stuffs), gazebos, beach shacks, cool dresses and more. The bad thing is, my inventory is a bigger mess than it ever was *lol*

Also, I'm loving this way of letting people "sample" what I have ... I know not everyone can always afford to get all the stuff they want (including me), so this is just a nice way to get people to try things they think they might be interested in, actually get to HAVE something I make, and they get to see the quality of my work and all that good stuff.

SO, if you haven't jumped on the MM bandwagon yet, and you're a freebie/kickass deals junkie, this is definitely something you need to get going on ;)

So far I've been sending the MM notices in group messages once a day but ... I might switch that. Considering making my offers once a week after this weekend, and putting notices on this blog (maybe in addition to? Instead of?). I may put that up to a vote by group members. (Thinking that actually sounds good).

This is stream of consciousness right now (cuz I'm posting from work omg how naughty), so I'll work out the details LOL and let y'all know laters.

FINAL HUNT GIFT WOOOO!

Ok folks, here's the ad for the second and final SL Discovery hunt. This is the unisex item, called "Allegiance." I had pictured this a bit differently in my mind, but as I worked on it, the thing had a mind of its own LOL. I'd pictured it with more bits and doodads (aka "sculpty parts") but, it just seemed to ask for simplicity. I had it all bedecked with all sorts of stuff but it was just too busy so ... it's simple, hehe, but hopefully that's a good thing.

New Hunt, New Gift!

Well FINALLY got the second gift done for the SL Discovery hunt that RGK will be in. Wooot! Now just waiting on a friend to log on to help model it hehehe. Just like for the SIITA hunt, I'll be offering up one girly, and one unisex item. I have to say though, the the unisex one feels very masculine to me, so not sure how many women will want it, but there you have it.

Here's a sneak peek at the girly hunt gift:

Do remember that the SIITA hunt is STILL on, and this is your last week to get the gifts for that for free. After today, both of those items will still be available, but will be sold as full-priced items.

If you like that gift item, I'll be making tails and ears to match them soon. I'll also be making tails and ears to match the unisex armband as well! So far the tail that I have out is very girly, but have some plans in the works for tails oriented towards all.

Stay tuned, I'll post the unisex gift photo here as soon as I get that ad all done up. Woo hoo!

Biggest Grid-wide Hunt ever!!!

I think I mentioned really briefly in a past post that I was going to be part of a new hunt. The Spring Is In The Air hunt is quickly coming to a close -- the last day for that hunt is April 30th! Crazy! Kinda exciting, because RGK has been accepted to be in a new grid-wide hunt, called SL Discovery.

I'll post the link to their blog a little bit later (although I believe their URL is simply http://www.sldiscovery.com/) so you can check out what they are about. What makes them really exciting is that they are SL's largest grid-wide hunt EVER! I'm so excited to be a part of it.

I'd originally thought that I could send all those people to my new Main Store but, after more thought on that *LOL* I decided that I'd keep sending people to my shop at Sassy City cuz um, yeah, homestead sim probably couldn't handle that kind of traffic.

For this hunt, you'd be looking for a magnifying glass. If you were a hunter in the SIITA hunt, you'd know that my shop at Sassy is kinda plain, so hiding stuff there isn't really much of a challenge, hahaha. They have lots of great shops lined up, and you can see who they all are on their blog site. The SL Discovery hunt starts May 1st, and they are doing a run-thru of it tonight, which is what has me really thinking about this and posting about it now hehehe.

I'm *trying* to make one female and one unisex/male gift. The female gift is all done up, I just need to take some pictures of it so I can show y'all what you'll be getting, woo hoo! Struggling with the unisex one. The female gift is very springy (but you can wear year-round kind of feel) shabby-chic, texture-change armband. It has steel accents with laquer/enamel flower embellishments. The central/focus piece of the armband is a slightly-glowing, almost-transparent flower that has -- what else? -- a small picture frame in it that you can drop someone picture or a pretty texture into to customize it.

The male/unisex gift idea is giving me a bit of trouble, in that I haven't been able to come up with an idea that I like and that is doable in the amount of time I have. *sigh* I hate that hunts don't have much in the way of stuff for guys so I really want to make it a point to have something for the guys there, but I don't have any cool ideas that I can accomplish in the amount of time I'm able to spend on it. *thinks* I'll have to come up with something though LOL. I will, and I'll let y'all know what it is as soon as I have it done ;)

OK, I'm done rambling.

Oh I lied. Wanted to let you all know that because the voodoo neko tail and ears have been going so well, as well as the neko/vampire teeth/multi-piercing combo, that I'm working on a line of tails and piercings that I'll sell individually, but also bundle together in discounted packages. After I'm done figuring out the male hunt gift, I'll be working on that, so stay tuned!

Oh yeah, ANNNNDDDD (this is a stream-of-consciousness post, sorry) once the SIITA hunt is over, I'll be selling the Spring Fling necklace and Hanging From a String voodoo noose at regular prices, so if you haven't picked them up yet, do it now! They won't be free any more as of May 1st, so don't forget to grab them for free while you still can!
