🌿🌌 Welcome to Iknimaya: A Pandoran Paradise! 🌌🌿
Step into a world inspired by the awe-inspiring landscapes of the movie Avatar. Welcome to Iknimaya, where the wonders of Pandora come to life before your very eyes. At the landing, you'll find a box of beautiful Pandoran flowers created in the early days before mesh, we called it torturing prims (a favorite pastime). The region is lush, and enjoyable to explore, “I see you.”

===Starchild Kin: A prologue===
The story above is prologue to the background story of the Starchild family at Darkheart’s Playground grid in OpenSimulator, and the future development of a HUD (aking to Bloodlines in Second Life) that will foster a roleplay of vampires, demons, angels and other races.

THORVALDSLAND, (Thorvaldshaven) is our newest region to open on the Genesis Roleplay Grid. Owned and operated by Thorvaldr Ragnarsson and his lovely wife Chloe Ragnarsson. Thorvaldsland is Historical reenactment RP grid and they are looking for role players to fill many different positions. Contact Thorvaldr Ragnarsson or myself (Lavia Lavine) for more information. Blessings and Much Love, Lavia.

Well, as they say, better late than never. We've done about two months of testing and ironed out a lot of bugs (I say a "lot" because it has been horrendous at times). I think we are now in a positions to go "live" and relax a bit.

We have renamed Opengrid to Castlehenge and downsized from 5x5 to 4x4 in an effort to make both regions the same size. As a result, I had to delete a lot of stuff from the outer edges. All the Athena and Decadence stuff has now gone as there is so much of it all over Opensim it was redundant. That has left us with a lot fewer freebies but we have retained Ruth and Roth, Selea Core, Paramount as well as the Clutterfly Warehouse and other open source stuff. Oh, and Synclair Designs is still there, too - authorised mesh women's clothing imports from SL textured in Opensim.

On the technical side; We are still having a few native problems with inventory - missing body parts and EOC errors but they do not seem to affect day to day running of the sims. I've tested hypergrid from another grid and there seems to be a glitch with bakes on mesh. The avatar looks fine to the user, but others see their body as white (no textures). It does not affect clothing, whether mesh or not. A workaround is for the visitor to toggle "Appearance Mode". Then the appearance is normal. This only needs doing once, I'm assuming so that the sim gets texture updates from your home server. Avatars already on the sim look fine to the visitor. We are running Opensimulator version 0.9.2.10 Yetti Release Unix/Linux/Mono Server.

OK, well that's it for now, I'm going to lie down in a darkened room for a while LOL.

Sunset Dreams Sectional out now!
A new section PACKED with tons of animations, and sitting up to 6 people!
This has always been a favourite of mine, not sure if due to the shape & look, or the nice sitting and cuddle poses!
The couch texture comes with 2 basis tintable layers. While I have put some colours via hud, you can always tint with your own!

This site is monetized. People buy coins to post on the mainpage using RL money. People can choose to do paid ads to showcase their regions and content. People also pay for premium memberships to have extra features. But the moderation is next to nil. Yes, a recent troll was FINALLY removed after DAYS of toxic barrage. But it took way too long. And while the account was removed, the box was not cleared of their comments.

Yes we can block people. But since griefers and trolls make countless alts it's a constant issue. If you're making money off a site, it needs to be moderated. The site owner and manager needs to try to ensure that users have a good or bare minimum usable experience.

And while I recognize that one person may not be able to manage it all, there's been no effort to recruit other moderators. And I do think any potential new moderators should be paid for their time and effort. After all, the site makes money off the many users who pay into it.

It's feeling pretty frustrating and futile right now. This can be a great tool to connect with other OpenSim folks. And it's a great way to see what people are building and find new regions. For the folks who like parties, they can see events. But yeah it's been more irritation than joy lately.

A new amazing shower with state of the art animations (yes, fewer than what we are used to in other furnitures, but...so good!).
Comes fully integrated with Sally Jackson's Cum System, with its own submenu! So you can get messy, and get cleaned, and messy, and cleaned all over again!

Uber: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Darkhearts Boutiques/384/399/23

Seabound Bench OUT NOW!
A cute little bench with very nice weathered wood textures, and packed with around 900 animations sitting 4 avatars.
Two-somes, three-somes, four-somes...you name it!
Nice cuddle animations as well!

Uber: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Darkhearts Boutiques/385/385/23

Poolside Towel OUT NOW!
This one is extremely versatile: has animations both on top of the towel on the pool side, on top of the prop tube (yes, including threesomes on top of it!), as well as floating/in-water animations. You can always make the towel transparent to put it on a deck, or by the seaside! The prop tubes also change texture on-click.
Comes with Texture HUD, material layers...

If anybody got this from our mall, please know that I did find an error in the build in that I'd missed removing some prim parts either because I didn't see them or they managed to "ghost" their way back in as sometimes happens, and were accidentally linked to the build. Either way, I removed the invading prims so that the mesh part is what remains reducing the land impact by almost 200. So if you got this house, I have the revised, corrected version available at the mall or just contact me and I'll send it to you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Hey folks I know life is busy but when you post a request can you please follow up if you've found the items somewhere? Even if it's not from the suggestions offered. It's helpful to know if a query is resolved so we don't keep offering advice/resources if a need is filled:)

I can't believe we are opening in SIX Days!!
When you come to the party, be sure to have Shared Environment enabled with graphics as high as your rig will allow so you can see the beautiful sky and the shadows.
DJ Kith from Wyldwood Bayou will be spinning the music from female musicians over several decades, 70s-90s in honor of women in Open Sim.
My exhibit consists of portraits I have taken of women who have contributed to Open Sim in significant ways, entitled, "Sculpting Prims: Female Visionaries In Open Sim." This exhibit is to honor and acknowledge the work of women that often goes unnoticed and shine a light on their many accomplishments.
My exhibit is only a part of the opening as we also have several talented artists exhibiting their work you don't want to miss.
Come one, Come all!! We can't wait to see you there!

I was visiting one region today, it said that there is possible to make good photos and at the landing are pose huds for gals and guys. I was added to viewer 50 credits and hud wanted me to pay 100. So I left and made pose huds free to everyone, here they are near landing

Stag Hollow is still under construction and it is a cooperative effort among various grid members. It took a little searching and a lot of editing but here we have a whole herd of buffalo grazing in the valley between the town and the Indian camp. All are welcome to visit and if you'd like to have a home on this region we can discuss particulars. There is a hot air balloon to ride or you can find a horse rezzer in the stables of the blacksmith shop. Tour the hotels and restaurants and enjoy the many homes and businesses in this small town of Stag Hollow. There really is a lot to see here and I believe you'll enjoy it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

And it is all done, the Chateau de Marqueur Royal Manor, Courtyard Garden, Gatehouse and Security Wall, and Stables and they're waiting just for you in our Star Jinn Palisade Mall at our Masala Al Kohav region. I have it all set out so you can see what it's like and enjoy a tour and I hope you will like it. It's beautiful, it's free it's full perm and it's waiting for you especially if you're doing a medieval or royal region it's a one stop shop deal, everything you need. I hope you will enjoy it, blessings and much love, Lavia

They say that it's the journey, not the destination... So why not have fun while you get there? And bring along another 4 friends while you are at that!
Mariner's Lustful Speed boat comes packed with +1200 animations. But I thought we could add some more, so I integrated the menu with the Underwater sex ones...because I can!
Speedboat is fully drivable and include some sounds!

Announcing the opening of my new store ~Luscious Candy~
It has just been opened and only has a few goodies out thus far, but much much more is to come!
Today, I am announcing the arrival of a NEW BODY to Opensim, the "Bombshell" has arrived. The bottom is the same fit as the Perky or Regular versions, however the top is designed for those women that enjoy supple breast. I've also got 4 outfit sets out, two of which include my new color/texture hud!
So come check us out and pick up yours here: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Darkhearts%20Boutiq...

Allow us to invite you to join our Friends of The Genesis Roleplay Grid HUD. Here we'll place a walk through (collision) teleporter with your logo and grid address so that when people walk through they will be teleported to your grid and the region you select. At Genesis Roleplay Grid we are working to create a more positive and cooperative atmosphere in Open Sim and we're doing it by networking grids and sharing anything that we can to help our "Friends'" grids succeed. The process is easy, contact me, Lavia Lavine, and send me your logo and the address and rezz point for your grid's chosen destination, and that's it. It's just that simple. Why do we do this? Because we want to and we can. I will also be forming a group for this for all "Friends of GRPG" to join so I can send notices and other information to those who join. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

As the rickshaw, its wooden frame creaking with every turn of the wheels, carried a woman adorned in the intricate garments of her dynasty, a delicate sight unfolded before her. A little chicken, its feathers glistening under the sun, innocently pecked at grains scattered across the dusty path. With a sudden jolt, the rickshaw lurched forward, its operator perhaps distracted by the grandeur of his passenger. In a split second, the fragile creature found itself caught beneath the wheels, a tragic casualty of haste and carelessness. The woman's heart sank as she witnessed the scene unfold, a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and mindfulness in navigating the Rickshaws at Zensational's Sakuragawa. In the aftermath, amidst the clucking of nearby hens, a lesson resonated deeply—a plea for caution to all who tread the paths of life, urging them to watch carefully, lest they trample the innocent underfoot. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

NEW: This circular/pallet bed comes packed with +500 animations, some decor, and HUNDREDS of textures.
I have spent a good amount of time making sure you get all the versatility and can change the texture of each piece of the set individually, pillow to pillow!

My favourite out of the latest 3 new items. Comobo of stand alone gaming chair with really steamy animations, as well as a fully linked set of the same chair animations + additional ones on the station itself.
Comes packed with hundred of textures as well, and of course - materials! (amazing material layers on this one, by the way).

My latest and probably most difficult memorial build, not that it was hard to do, but that it is a memorial to my very first pet who was so loyal, loving and protective. Wolfie was truly my best friend and to this day I miss him. He was half great Dane and half Siberian Husky and looked very much like a Canadian Timberwolf, hence his name. He was the most adorable puppy and grew into a beautiful and amazing adult dog. His memory will be forever treasured by me, but building the memorial brought a few tears to my eyes, I loved my boy.

Okay, this one goes out to @sodasullivan who keeps moaning about me only bringing alcohol. So some Hazelnut Coffee it is...and a 'Hidden' wine cellar.
Both items dispense drinks with hold/drink animations: Cellar 2 different ones.
Cellar frame is scripted so it moves and hides the drinks! Pourover dripping is scripted too.
All include bumpiness and shine layers and values.
