Allready?

Now, the problem with trying to post more often, is that I have absolutely no idea on what to post about.

Of course, I could just keep posting images, but that's really not what this was supposed to be about now was it?

One thing I thought might be of interest to anyone that hasn't taken a look at second life.  Is a quick run around of what's happening there.

Where to start.

Well, easiest would be my store.  Technically now it's Winter's store.  We opened it together with a third person who quickly became uninvolved, and Winter will back me up in saying that pretty much all the ideas, scripts, and code for things we sell have been mine.  Winter's responsibilities have been in the texturing, modeling, and building the locations.

So here's a look at our current store and stuff.

Here's our current store.  Winter's latest build.  Very shiny =)

We hace a nice area where people congregate.  We actually tend to have 5 or 6 most afternoons, sometimes 10 or more people hanging out.  

Here's a look from a distance.  It used to be more of a steampunk feel, and it's still located in coghaven, an awesome steampunk sim.

Here's one of the machines we sell.  We have a bunch of different models, but they all work pretty much the same.  You sit down, and you get a visual with a script running.  I'm rather proud of the system used to run it.  I pretty much built a programmable computer in lsl (the scripting language).  Well, I was proud of it when I wrote it.  Now it feels clunky as hell, and I know a dozen ways I could improve it, but it would mean scrapping everything and making the old ones obsolete.

Some of the vendors.  The scripts work by just dropping them into the machines, they get added, then you can run them through a menu system.  Winter outdid himself with this image I think.

Speaking of re-doing everything, I'm experimenting with different ways to handle textures, considering starting again from scratch.

Tomorrow, I'll show ya some of the other Mind Control themed things that abound in Second Life, and later this week I'll tell ya how it all started, how the fetish exploded into the landscape, and how many businesses started competing in an expanding market.

Short version.  My fault =P
