Matrix Style Inspiration Featuring Songbird

by

Songbird has created glasses and animated eyes (video below!) that you absolutely have to check out! Both were made to celebrate this Spring’s Twisted Hunt. If you have no idea what a hunt is don’t fear, we have you covered. The products shown today can be found at the in world store.

~Songbird~

Songbird sells high quality alternative make up, clothing, and accessories. The in world store offers gacha as well as a variety of gothic, lolita, and macabre products. Whether you need bloody makeup or a new outfit you’re sure to fall in love with something unique when visiting. If you’re unable to visit in world right now feel free to browse the Marketplace store with 100+ products for sale.

The Truth Eyes

These may be the coolest looking eyes I’ve ever played with. Inspired by The Matrix, the green text on the eyes actually scrolls giving it a realistic themed feel. It is definitely a specific and well loved look that is perfect to have in your inventory whether it’s for a themed event or everyday use. As these are mesh eyes they may take a little adjusting depending on your head, however I found it to be a fairly simple process. The Truth Eyes can be found in the Songbird store as the 24th location in the Twisted Hunt. Yes, that means they’re FREE when you find them!

The Basics Of Second Life Hunts

by

Note: While the images in this blog post are from 2017, the content has been reviewed and updated for 2020.

Hunting in Second Life may conjure up the image of virtual big game shooting experiences. While that probably exists on grid, it’s not what we’re talking about today; we’re focusing on shopping events! Second Life hunts are a fun way to collect items for both your avatar and your home. Here are the very basics of hunting events in Second Life.

What Exactly Is A Second Life Hunt?

Imagine if a scavenger hunt, hide and seek, and some Second Life goodies were all shaken up together. The result? A Second Life hunt! You’re given a place to start looking and then you scour the area for the product. Usually the product is boxed in a themed shape such as a little coin, apple, or animal. Once you find the product you activate it (usually by touching or paying) to receive the gift and a hint about the next item to find. Most hunts only run for a set amount of time, so make sure to check the dates before you start!

Hunts can be free or they may have a charge. They may hide all the items in one sim or in locations all over the grid. Each and every hunt is different and appeals to different people. One person may enjoy a smaller hunt with items that aren’t too hard to find while another may prefer spending hours looking for many tricky items.

Are Second Life Gacha Games Worth Your Time?

by

Important Note: Gacha machines are no longer allowed in Second Life. You can still buy and sell things on the Marketplace that were aquired via Gacha, however it is now against the Second Life TOS for creators to sell an item that is completely random. By the new policy buyers must know what they are purchasing at the time of purchase. There are new purchasing systems (such as MiePon) that have come out as an allowed alternative.

I’m keeping this post up as a reference for when Gacha was allowed, however the content in it is outdated and this specific post won’t be updated further.

Based on the Japanese game of the same name, Second Life Gacha machines are a huge hit in world. Gachas offer the chance at multiple items for very cheap, usually less than what each item is worth. The inexpensive shot at high quality products has spawned various Gacha themed events, some of which keeping sims competitively full for days or more. Note: Almost everything my avatar has on in this post is from Gacha events!

How Second Life Gacha Works

The easiest way to sum up Gacha is by imagining those little quarter machines found in supermarkets and other real life stores. An image at the top shows the products contained within. You put in a small amount of money and out pops one of those items. You never know what you’ll get!

In game Gachas are very similar. Gachas will have an image on or near the machine showing you what’s inside. Most will tell you which items are rare, some will even show the percentage chance it has to drop. A script in the machine is used to give you a random item when you pay based on these percentages (whether they are displayed or not.) The odds of winning a specific item depends on what you’re going for and the rarity of the product. Remember, if you have a 1 in 3 (33%) chance to get a specific item, that doesn’t mean you’ll get it in 3 tries. It simply means that each try gives you 1 in 3 chance to get it. And that’s for Gachas with even odds. Some will have rare items that have a smaller chance to drop than the rest. Gachas with Common, Uncommon, and Rare chances are not at all unusual. Make sure to weigh those odds before splurging!
