{what next} Igloos at The Arcade Gacha

December 1, 2013

The December round of the Arcade Gacha has opened! We have twelve adorable, interactive, themed igloos gacha prizes for you ..each one is themed with linked decor (sled sign, sleeping bag, mailbox on the three rares), singles animations, couples animations and props such as mugs of hot chocolate, living in an igloo manual and a telescope for stargazing.

There are nine commons and three rares, the rares have a linked decorative mailbox and two extra couples animations. Each play is L$100. They’d add an eye-catching feature to any Wintry landscape or backyard and as they’re transferable would make great gifts too.

Check out the links below to see the designer guide/participating stores, details about the Arcade photography contest and if you have spares to trade or sell, join the official Arcade inworld group.

The Arcade runs through to December 30th. It’s an event not to be missed, thanks to all the hard work of the Arcade staff and owners.

Fifty Linden Friday & The Garden – Pine Ridge Camping Set!

October 18, 2013

This week a new round of the Garden opened, with a lovely theme and palette, which inspired us to make a new camping set for you – with a wonderful large tent, double sleeping bag, campfire ring with kettle and saucepan, two log benches, camping stools and many new props. New props include crumpet, marshmallow, sausage toasting forks, camping mugs, bowl of beans, a fun flashlight for reading in the dark or just playing around (lots of fun with the directional lighting if you have advanced lighting enabled!).

The sleeping bag is for a single avatar or a couple and even closes to cover up your avatar when sleeping!

The whole set as pictured above, is only available at The Garden event, where it will be until November 10th. You can find our set outside.

In addition, we have two Pine Ridge Chair sets for this week’s Fifty Linden Friday, which of course go so well with our new Pine Ridge Camping Set. Like the set, they’re materials ready, for those using materials enabled viewers. Each set contains a plain chair and a blanket draped version. They’re ideal for the dock, garden or porch.

Golf Cart Rezzer HUDs at the Arcade – last few days!

September 27, 2013

It’s the last few days of The Arcade Gacha in Second Life and a great time to visit if you haven’t already. Our gacha prizes include twelve golf cart rezzer HUDs, you wear the HUD to rez a golf cart, which is highly detailed with tons of driving options, menu-driven and can seat one to three avatars at once.

The HUDs are transferable for trading or gifting, but with one HUD you can rez unlimited carts, so you won’t have to worry about it disappearing over a sim border to be never seen again. They’re also a fantastic alternative for visitors exploring your land and one of the menu features allows other users to drive your cart and also set a home position for it.

Four of the twelve designs are rare versions and each play costs L$100 and you’ll randomly receive one of the twelve rezzer HUDs. There are several plain versions, as well as some more unique designs, each one with custom animations, sound FX and a driver’s HUD, for convenient access to the driving options, which can be obtained from the touch menu.
