DM Hunt finalized!


Serena Mist and MK in front of the DM Hunt Controller
We finalized the DM Hunt system.

Serena Mist (Xurtheone) of You're the One, one of the most innovative builders in SL who specializes in animated Teddy Bears and Elves, assembled an angel statue to represent the Hunt controller, and provided animations for the statue.

I then integrated the Hunt scripts into the final statue, and the result was something really cool.

As the game status changes, the sword held by the angel statue moves and changes color.

When the Hunt is stopped, the sword is in its default color and is held pointing straight down.

When a prey is registered, the sword moves to point straight forward and changes color to yellow (just as the Prey Mark in the prey changes to yellow).


When the game starts, the angel's wings actually start flapping while the sword moves to point straight up and change color to green!


Finally, when the prey is captured, the sword changes to black.

The system will undergo final testing before being placed in the market.

A heap of thanks to Serena Mist for providing the cool animations!

Karada



One of the first rules I initiated when I collared Tinka was that she would wear a Karada, or rope body harness, when we were together in SL. This consists of an intricate structure of rope wound around the body in a complex web-like fashion, and I slowly developed a strong fondness for this simple yet utterly erotic outfit. Tinka would wear it by itself when we were in private, but also as an accompaniment to more traditional garments when we went out in public.

Now that I have started learning the basics of Kinbaku (or erotic rope play) as a new hobby in RL, my appreciation for the Karada has grown even stronger, and I look forward to the day when I can create complex patterns of rope on the supple and shapely canvas that is the human body.
