STOP WAR - Peace-Festival in Dorenas World
STOP WAR
Peace-Festival
Wir planen für die Tage um die Iden des März (also 14-16.3.2022) ein Festival gegen den Krieg (oder für den Frieden - ganz wie ihr wollt).

Bis auf das o.g. Datum ist noch alles offen und wir bitten alle, die sich da mit einbringen möchten sich kurzfristig mit Anachron Young oder Dorena Verne in Verbindung zu setzen.
Wir machen uns sicherlich keine Illusionen, das wir mit dieser Aktion etwas ändern können, es kann nur ein symbolischer Akt sein uns eindeutig zu positionieren. Aber auch das ändert eben schon etwas - und sei es "nur" in unseren eigenen Köpfen.

Peace Festival
We are planning an anti-war (or pro-peace - whatever you want) festival for the days around the Ides of March (i.e. March 14-16, 2022).

Except for the date mentioned above, everything is still open and we ask everyone who would like to get involved to get in touch with Anachron Young or Dorena Verne at short notice.
We certainly have no illusions that we can change something with this action, it can only be a symbolic act to position ourselves clearly. But that also changes something - even if it is "only" in our own heads.

Bug Fix: Arcadia's Weather System

I did an oopsie. Thanks Ernest for the heads up, I've found an error in the script of the weather system, both master EEP and non EEP versions. While they will work in y-engine they won't at all in x-engine so I fix them, the new version is at the shop and the mini shop of Wright Plaza, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Aaack.-

New Release: Arcadia's Timer.

I made this based on a suggestion (thanks Ernest!).

It's a simple timer that will do what any kitchen timer does, you setup the time (up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) and it will count back to zero, when it reaches zero it will sound an alarm and that's it!

The object itself is a single, very light mesh so you can resize it to either put it in a tennis court or your fridge =D

It can be set to Owner only operation, group or everyone.

Of course the textures are inside for your customization needs.

Happy Tuesday!

MY BUTT CHEEKS ARE SHOWING.
Typically, I'm very modest in my dress. But I thought I owed it to the large "my butt cheeks are showing" fans to make an outfit for them. It has to be a large number of people judging from the multitude of "my butt cheeks are showing" clothes I see everywhere.

So, is this post just an excuse to say "my butt cheeks are showing?" Mmmmm...maybe. I should mention that modesty is preserved by "FINA'S 'CutebutPsyco' thong which is color-able. How in the hell they came up with that name, I don't know.

Oh HELLO. The shop that can boast of having at least one "my butt cheeks are showing" outfit with a cray-cray thong.

Listen to the good sounds on 648 kHz (medium wave)

Happy to see the Ross Revenge - the Radio Caroline ship - today from the top of my house on 'The Art Factory'. Ernest postet yestday a info. See here: https://opensimworld.com/post/83729

'MV Ross Revenge is a radio ship, the home of Radio Caroline, as well as having supported Radio Monique and various religious broadcasters. She was constructed in Bremerhaven in 1960, and initially served as a commercial trawler as part of the Ross Group fleet, notably taking part in the Cod Wars of the 1970s. Following her decommissioning, she was purchased by Radio Caroline and outfitted as a radio ship, complete with 300-foot (91 m) antenna mast and 50 kW transmitter. Her broadcasts began on 20 August 1983; her final pirate broadcast took place in November 1990. She ran aground on the Goodwin Sands in November 1991, bringing the era of offshore pirate radio in Europe to an end. She was, however, salvaged, and is now maintained by the Caroline Support Group, a group of supporters and enthusiasts.' (https://en.wikipedia.org/)

New Release: Arcadia's Disco Lights

I have something for your dancing place today, it's a ring frame with disco lights and lasers.

It features custom animations (the lights/lasers are animesh) for smooth movements, the lasers can emit red, blue and a multicolour spread type of rays, and the whole ring can rotate too, so you can make movement patterns that matches your music.

Please read the manual this object requires your sim to be able to run the function osMessageObject.

Happy Sunday!

Did you know?

Halls are tricky, those little spaces (or big ones) that connects a multitude of living spaces houses, which only function is to redirect transit. Do you fill it with frames and little tables?

Will you -ever- sit on those little armchairs?

Well I'm of the opinion that you can fill those spaces easily... with light! Lightning is paramount and so let me show you my art deco hall light.

It's fully automatic and it comes with two different textures, a brand new looking one, for a pristine presentation and a worn out one for a moody ambient. You rez it and forget, it casts a projector light so the ceiling won't be illuminated and since it's one single mesh object you can resize it at your convenience, it's all about options.

Happy Saturday! (Caturday! (do you remember that?)).

Did you know?

I've a set of grand art deco lamps. Personally I believe that the style dress any house with an elegance that only the empire style can match (google it and fall in love with the empire style hehe).

My set comes in two versions, fully automatic to rez and forget and manual with options of different intensities and colours. It has two models, a wall mounted one inspired in art deco theatres and the ceiling mounted lamp inspired in grand train terminals.

Happy Friday (yay Friday!).

Did you know?

You can find an Art Deco bed at my shop, but the box contains more than that, it's a full bedroom set containing the bed, side tables, a bedroom chair, a rug, a vanity and a clock.

I searched around for references on 20's bedroom furniture that not only looked nice but also slightly futuristic, to give this un-temporal look. The bed contains the usual poses, but also you can actually sleep on it and if you click on the headboard you can open the bed because I dislike those beds that forces you to sleep on top of the sheets.

Happy Monday!

Did you know?

The ArtDeco Desk is a mix of two real life desks, an empire style one my grandma had at her house and an art deco one I saw in pictures, it features long drawers, support for typewriters, several poses and a beautiful office chair in light blue leather I fell in love looking for references in the webs.

When you sit on it it will rez the main chair to accommodate you and a very old computer for you to work on, the computer "monitor" (a replica of a very early TV) will report the avatars on the sim.

Oh, and it has naughty poses too =P

Happy Saturday!

ANNOUNCEMENT - ANKÜNDIGUNG


[GERMAN VERSION]


Liebe Freunde and Starkies,

was wir heute ankündigen werden, fällt uns nicht leicht. Niki und ich, Mathilda, haben beschlossen, den Betrieb von Stark Islands nach dem 30. Juni 2021 einzustellen.
Wir haben uns viele Gedanken darüber gemacht, unter welchen Voraussetzungen wir Stark hätten weiterlaufen lassen könnten. Aber letztendlich hätte es zu viele Änderungen geben müssen und Stark wäre nicht mehr das gleiche gewesen. Außerdem haben wir uns außerhalb von OpenSim eine neue Aufgabe gestellt. Einerseits bedauern wir, Stark zu schließen, nach all der harten Arbeit, die wir in dieses Paradies investiert haben. Aber wir sind auch sehr stolz darauf, dass wir es bis nach ganz weit oben auf der Liste der beliebtesten Regionen von OSW geschafft zu haben. Das wäre ohne euch, unsere wunderbare Gemeinschaft, nicht möglich gewesen.
Deshalb möchten Niki und ich uns an dieser Stelle bedanken. Danke an alle Starkies für eure Unterstützung und Treue. Danke an unsere DJ’s! Jeder einzelne von Euch hat mit seinen mittlerweile legendären Sets zum Erfolg von Stark beigetragen. Danke an das Zeta Worlds Team, ohne dessen Unterstützung der stabile Betrieb einer solch leistungshungrigen Region wie Stark nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Danke auch an alle Besucher, die jederzeit herzlich willkommen waren und viele nette Kommentare und Likes hinterlassen haben. Wir wünschen euch allen von ganzem Herzen alles, alles Gute!
Für OpenSim wünsche ich mir, dass die Leute, die Grids, viel stärker zusammenarbeiten und nicht gegeneinander. Ihr seid ein Grid! Das Hypergrid! Nur gemeinsam hat OpenSim eine Chance.
Wir werden euch im Auge behalten und vielleicht, irgendwann, sehen wir uns wieder.

In diesem Sinne, lebt wohl!
Niki & Mathilda Stark

Did you know?

The mate (pronounce it as mah-teh), is the name of a very local infusion like tea: the plant is called yerba mate, it has a very unique flavour and it's mainly consumed in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. The way of drinking mate is put ground yerba mate leaves on the recipient (also called mate, because we love to confuse people), and then add water. You drink it through a metal straw called bombilla.

My mate is a literal copy of the one I use everyday at home, it's a giver so when you click on it, it'll give you a mate and a thermos to refill it, exotic!

Happy Tuesday!

Did you know?

The summer house is an adaptation of an original RL house made by an architect close friend of mine. The differences are mostly supports and smaller windows that aren't necessary here, glass is free!

It features few but big rooms and it's a nice modern house you can use next to a beach but also in other environments, it also has a deep base so it will look good in uneven terrain. The doors are scripted with an access system and you can close and open the blinds of the house to enhance the realism.

Currently it's the only house I made that's available at the shop.

Happy Thursday!

Did you know?

The first models of domestic refrigerators had the condenser coil on top, as copper spiral that dispersed the heat extracted from the body of the refrigerator, it was a technology that was soon replaced by the traditional condenser behind the fridge.

Nowadays modern refrigerators have an internal one, it's not visible any more and I think it's a pity, it removes a very interesting part to watch.

My model is a mix of the look of the typical 50's fridge with the technology of the 20's because... It's pretty!

Happy Wednesday!

Did you know?

I've always been fascinated by pennyfarthers, they're so elegant and graceful and HUGE!

The one I offer at my shop uses a very modified script of an airplane! But that's a secret, don't tell anyone!
The reason is that I wanted to bank when you turn and that was the only way I could find to do it properly but the side-effect of such atrocity is that the bicycle can jump unrealistically high as if it had a million balloons tied to it.

Also it's very challenging to drive over terrain, this is a civilized bike, for civilized roads... Which means you will laugh a lot trying to drive on rough surfaces, of course.

Happy Wednesday!

Did you know?

I've two versions of the Stratoracer: the Mk.1 (left) is an older version, with less detail but it works properly on Bullet Sim. The Mk.2 (right) has more details, an automatic undercarriage and more functions, it works only on UbODE.

Why?

Because I wasn't able to replicate the smoothness of movement in BulletSim. So most of my newest vehicles are scripted only to work on ubODE.

That being said, you can try both at the runway at the Shop. =)

Happy Thursday!

Did you know?

When you enter the shop, at your right there's a door that will take you to a changing room, this is a small, comfy area, away from other's eyes where you can try attachements and clothes on your avatar, or just sit and hangout with your friends.

Also it's the only place on the sim where you can rez stuff, albeit it has an auto-return of two minutes, but I think that's enough to unbox stuff.

Happy changing! =)

not sure if anyone will know what this is just by looking at this pic. Or if anyone else will Nerd Out like I did when I found it in my inventory. HOWEVER! Howls Moving Castle *in its original box Now in Vintique Antiques on Steamland.

Did you know?

There's a tower at the South East part of the sim, it's heavily inspired in one of the show stands of the New York's World's Fair of 1964.

This is a relax place for you, where you can have something to drink, eat and sit down.

The roof of the tower is a mini disco that's enabled when I stream my mix sessions and if you climb down the stairs you'll find a beach to suntan.

You can go to the tower using the teleporters (look at my previous article about them) or by rezzing a demo vehicle at the runway.

Of course, the tower itself is available to take at the shop =)
