Updates... Updates... Updates!

Alright, Sinners! I', still working on any number of projects... as mentioned in the last post... and some of them are nearing completion. In addition, I've been grinding away on all the updates that desperately need to be done for the store. I've made good progress on that front recently... including updates for most of the Classic Prim Demon Horns, the Classic Furred Demon Legs, the Umbral Ears, the Flexi Prim Demon Tails (all 52 of them! Yarrr!), and the Gamorean Sculpted Hooves!

All of these items have been updated to the latest A4 and Sinteract! scripting... and they all now include a Lite A4 HUD in their packages, just like the updates to the Wings earlier this year, and the new Mesh Horns and Animated Mesh Demon tails! Additionally, there are Demo crates available for all of them at the Main Store and on the SLMP.

More soon!

What's Coming Up at Sinful Needs?

Greetings, Sinners! I just wanted to touch base with you all and let you know what's going on with the store... what's coming in the second half of 2012... and what the hold up is on certain projects you've already heard/seen me chatter about in group chat.

First up, I know that there are still a lot of you wondering when the Sinteract! Genitals are going to be ready. As I've said far too often in the last year, that project has turned into something much larger than I originally planned, but it is still progressing. I have some code work left to do on the scripts, some sculpt (and maybe mesh) work left to do on the genitals themselves, and a fair chunk of animation work for what I have planned for the launch release. Make no mistake, I'm as excited about getting them into the store as anyone else... but more than anything else, I want to make sure that what I deliver on launch day for them is a very solid effort, worthy of the patience and eagerness that you all, my customers, have shown for the project.

Next up is the Eclipse of Innocence line. There are a number of reasons this hasn't quite surfaced yet, some of them related to that dreaded Other Life keeping me busy with this and that, as well as an emerging change in dynamics with the store in general. I will leak a little more information about the vision for EoI to sate curiosity, however. Eclipse of Innocence is intended to fill some holes in the store's offerings for Dark Role Play. In particular, it will launch with some jewelry and piercings. The overall theme for the line is intended to be.... dark, gothic, elegant, and mystical. Beyond jewelry, expect to see some corsets, dark dolly gothic wind up keys, and, eventually, some clothes as well. Think twisted, kinky Alice in Wonderland... and you're probably headed down the right rabbit hole for where Eclipse of Innocence will find its niche.

Perhaps most relevant to the short term are the new Mesh Hooves that I'm working on right now. These have grown from just a pair of sculpted femme hooves to a full blown mesh project that includes some rigged mesh 'boot' leggings. The first version of these (with leather straps & D-rings) are actually quite close to release at this point, though I ran into a bit of a hiccup when setting up the particle chain anchors to line up with the D-Rings on the straps for the rigged mesh leggings. I'm in the process of sorting that out now, and then will be eager to release these. Like some other things, the original plan for these has grown.... and in addition to the Hooves/Boots, expect to see a bare feet (with human toe nails and claws) version coming afterward, as well as a 'pawed' version that will surely appeal to all of our anthro/furry Sinners. Also, I'll be working up from the toes/hooves to create a matching set of Arm Harnesses, a corset, and a chastity belt. Then following on the heels of the strapped set, I'll be getting the Ushimimi set ready... which got a little preview press in some of the pics for the Aphrodite Breasts (you can see these here in my Flickr Photostream for the Aphrodite GuideBook - note the ears, horns, and peak at the tail in addition to the outfit ;) ). Bare feet and paw versions of that set will also surface at some point beyond that... I think there are a number of 'kittehs' in particular that might enjoy the cute, playful bow & bell look. All the better to lure in their next snack ;)

Another important note regarding all movement forward with the store is the future of the A4 HUD: The One HUD package. When I introduced The One HUD back in 2008, it was something that served a powerful purpose for my customers, and helped to make customizing Sinful Needs items as flexible as possible, even if the learning curve seemed a little daunting to some at first. Moving forward, nearly all of the future releases are going to be making use of Baked Textures, which means that the Universal textures included in the current version of The One HUD are going to be less and less useful. That said, I know that many of you still enjoy the convenience of 'One HUD to Rule Them All' when it comes to Sinful Needs items. So while new releases and updates will continue to include A4 Lite HUDs set up specifically for those items, I have plans to improve The One HUD package as well, offering more flexibility to One HUD owners. This will include offering some segmented HUD options, such as a Sinteract! HUD only, or a Dance HUD & AO HUD only, as well as a combination of those three things. The reason for offering these options in that One HUD Package is mostly to allow people to limit their script load, as well as keep things as simple as possible. On the A4 side of The One HUD, it will be getting some tweaking to bring in the new advanced RGB Tinting interface you've seen in the new Lite A4 HUDs, as well as offering options for creating your own texture groups. The package will also be getting a few more goodies added to it beyond the Horns and Fangs already included... to rest assured that I'll do my best to make sure anyone who has purchased the A4 HUD will wind up with enough lagniappe (that's Nawlins-speak for free stuff) to show my thanks for supporting The One HUD during its run.

I could probably ramble on for a while longer, but I'll rein it in and close with one more note. About Skins: I've gotten a variety of questions about my skins, and I'll try to sum up where I'm going with those... when I can make some time to get more skin work done. *chuckles*:

• There will be unmarked versions of the Ba'al & Lilith skins
• There will be more colors in those lines as well (marked & unmarked)
• There are 4 or 5 more skin tones that need to be added to the Legends lines still
• There will be completely new skins surfacing as well!
• In one fashion or another, I -DO- plan to support the Petite community with skins

That's it for now! Stay Sinful!

Sinful Needs Wings Update!

Greetings, Sinners! The v.2.13 Seraph II and v2.11 Demon Wings updates just went out full of some A4 refinements, including a workaround for that annoying issue where the wings don't show they are repositioning until you take them off and put them back on. The Update notes are:

    Package now includes an A4 HUD Lite for customization. See package notecards for details.
    Added in a workaround to the A4 Scripting to full attachments will now correctly reposition via script, without having to remove them to force a viewer update.
    Added Coms handler to Wing Core scripts to receive the Hide/Show command from the Wings panel buttons added last HUD update.
    Added subpart bypass for Shoulders/Wings PSR to perform 'ALL' changes to wings. Which just means that Shoulders/Wings will properly adjust the positional and rotational adjustments for the whole wings at the root prim as they should.

The big thing for new customers is the A4 HUD Lite, which is something that will be getting to all items as they are updated to the latest scripting. This move has become necessary as I start working with more and more specialized textures for attachments (like the Ears, Breasts, Mesh Horns, etc). That said, don't give up on your One HUD package... additions will be coming to that package in it's next update, including some more useful package options and new gifts for HUD owners ;)

New Mesh Horns!

I polished off the last bit of work for the new Mesh Demon Horns early this morning... and there is an now a Multi-Vendor at the Main Store (right near the entrance) the features 20 new Mesh Demon Horns sets! There are a variety of horn shapes, each featuring several jewelled, decorative bands. New to these horns is the introduction of some PrimTattoo layers, which are used to offer a variety of Special Effects that can be displayed on the Horns and/or Jewelry and Cuticles. These effects range from blood and grime to flowing runes, lightning, fire, and flowing lava! The included HUD features a texture group specifically for the special effects.

Additionally, these horns are the first general attachments to feature the more specialized texturing that will become more prominent at Sinful Needs moving forward, which is why a specially configured A4 HUD Lite is included in the package.

Head to the store to have a look, check out the pics on the Flickr Stream, or hit the SLMP to get yours now. At botht he Main Store and the SLMP, a crate of all 20 Demos are available for free. The Crate sits right in front of the Multi-Vendor at the Main Store... or you can grab it right here at the SLMP.

Aphrodite Prim Breasts v1.5 Update

My Aphrodite Breasts v1.5 update just rolled out into my store tonight, full of lots of nice polish, a few bug fixes, and a new HUD that is included in the package to make Skin-Matching a snap. I've done up a GuideBook to help people get started with them. The images for that guidebook can be seen here on my Flikr page.

You can get the fully functional demo package, which includes the GuideBook and HUD (and a snazzy floating demo sign over your head) here on the SL MarketPlace.

And you can get the full version here on the SLMP at my store here.

The Updates Notes Follow, but perhaps the biggest important feature is that the Breast Sculpts have been remapped to use skin textures like the other mainstays of the community, and they will now accept Skin Appliers for eCorp OverFilleds, eCorp Overfilled/Animes, vStrings, and other related appliers. Additionally, my included skin textures have been redone and improved (significantly, I believe). With the addition of the new HUD that comes with them, they are MUCH easier to skin match.

Obviously I could ramble on at great length in my enthusiasm, but I'll just post the update notes and shut up now

Get some Tail at Sinful Needs!

Galathir has a couple of projects brewing side-by-side right now, but a few days ago he realized just how long it has been since new demon tails were introduced to the store, as well as how slim the selection actually felt. He decided it was time to do something about... and in classic Galathir Overkill style, forty-eight new tails began to take shape in his workshop!

These new tails join the Gamorean line of demonic accessories. falling in with styles matching the Gamorean sculpted Demon Hooves. In particular, there are 3 families of tails: Dronar, Mazzaru, & Zaduun. These each carry the representative characteristics of that Gamorean Demon Clan: Dronar offer sleek, smooth line, while the Mazzaru feature thorn-like spines that can extend when aroused or enraged... and the Zaduun tails carry their trademark chitinous barbs and carapace like plates.

Each of the three clans is represented on  four basic styles of tails. The Primal tails are the typical single tail, most often seen sweeping lazily behind a demon as they prowl the nights. The Archon tails are an abberant Tri-Tail, reflecting the tendency of chaos and mutation to surface in the breeds native to the Endless Abyss. The Ravager tails are longer tails, usually seen somewhat elevated and trailing gracefully behind as they enhance a demon's balance as they decimate their victims. And finally, the Ascendant tails are longer still... so long, in fact, that most are supported by a harness of chains linked to the demon's spine - a true sign of power, ancient age, or both!

Within the three clans and four styles, there is, however, still one more facet of individuality layered upon the first two, and it's one that Galathir would never skip on: Ornamentation! Each of the afore-mentioned tail styles is offered bare, of course, but is also offered Cuffed in the finest measure of demonic allows, sporting padlocks and chains... bewjewelled in bands set with the rarest gems, ivories, & prescious metals to be found in all the dark realms... or bound and secured with straps of exotic leathers, affixed with skull-decorated buckles and dangling ends.

Doing the evil Math, this turned into Forty-Eight new Gamorean Demon Taila, all of which an be found on the new, extended Demon Tails vendor wall at the Main Store. Taking the vending one step further, Galathir has also setup a HoloVendor near the entrance, across the from the large Multi-Vendors, that will rez a display model of the tails as you browse the vendor's content... so you can enjoy all the delicious primwork up close and personal while you decide which tail suits your desires!

As a footnote to all the new tail goodness, it's worth noting that Galathir also updated the classic Angrumax demon tails, and that those updates will be going out later today via the Update Server. These revisions bring the classic standbys up to A4.1 spec, as well as feature the new extended Tail Core menu, which includes a native Tail > Length menu to give you that last touch of customization once you get the base of the tail the size you want with your A4 HUD.

And in one last effort to make it as easy as possible for every Sinner to Get their Demon On in the best way possible, Galathir revised the prices on the Angrumax Demon Tail line, making them more accessible... and priced the new Gamorean Tails with the same sensibilities. What does this mean for you? It means that every Sinful Needs Demon Tail is now available for less that 500L, with the simplest tails coming in at under 300L - despite all of them being packed with A4.1, Core, & Sinteract! wickedness!

Expect to see these tails all hit the SL Marketplace later today as well!

God Silks got more Divine!

The God SIlks: Destroyer of Hope sets havejust  been updated to A4.1! This is a major polish update, unlocking all of the fantastic features the v2 HUD brought to Sinful Needs, and will have you falling in lust with this set all over again!

For you lil Petites flitting about, this set will now freely scale down to the 35% you'll need to fit your tiny Fallen!

For those who already have the set and are eager to get your update, it should come the next time you wear your set... or log in wearing it. You can also opt to visit the Redelivery Terminal at the main store. If all else fails, IM Galathir Darkstone and I'll get it to you ASAP!

New Tutorial Video: How to Update your HUD!

Darkspine Sentinels... Bristling and Ready!

The Darkspine Sentinel Armor & Spines sets are the latest full set of demon accessories to hit the vendors at Sinful Needs. The sculpted Darkspine Sentinel plates & spikes really make a statement... while the underlying horns, body spines, & serpentine tail all scream pure demon! As part of the line launch, the bare body spines are also now available for those who aren't into 'heavy metal' but still want to get their demon on! The subsets are coming for those interested in just picking up the Horns, Tail, Back & Breast, Arms, or Legs only... but the full sets and full sets with hooves are available now in the store and on the SL Marketplace here. For more beauty shots, vendor panel images, and to see the options pics, check out our Darkspine Sentinel Flickr Set.

New Hair to Sin in!

Some of you have already asked me about the new hairstyles I snuck into some of the Darkspine Sentinel images (including the one Vyvienne is wearing in the store)... and those are now available! I've just added 8 new Female Hairstyles to the store in the new Sorceri Hair line! As you'll see, one of these styles was inspired by a long time favorite hairstyle that's no longer available in SL, and the others grew from that one! All 8 features some nice details, and are packed with the latest A4.1 & Sinteract! scripting. You can find 2 vendors at the front of the main store (opposite the Multi-vendors) and one on the second floor by the eyes. Additionally, these should be available in the multi-vendor at the  Vleet Mature Satellite shop. Box shots & more info follow.

Wings, Wings, Wings @ Sinful Needs!

Well that actually sounds like the Event Notice Chatter for one of the club events in The Pit, it's actually the harking call of updated and new wings in the store!

The long-loved yet venerable Seraph wings just got a MAJOR overhaul, courtesy A4.1, fresh Core scripting, the latest Sinteract! scripting, and some beautiful new sculpt maps! The end result is a really gorgeous set of wings that improve on the style of the old Seraphs without losing their charm, while reducing the prim count from 197 prims per wing to 66, dropping the script count from 150+ per wing down to 21 TOTAL for the pair, and adding all the latest A4 and Sinteract! Mojo.

The new Seraph IIs are now fully compatible with the v2 A4 HUD, including the indicator lights to kill off the chat spam, the new RGB tinting panel, the capacity to 'Lock' your wings, deleting either just the PSR scripts or all 3 A4 scripts from a copy of your wings, and all the joys of the new Sinteract! Panel on your HUD. Wear the new wings, click the A4 button on your HUD, and go to My Toys (the top edge of the panel). Then choose your wings out of the menu that pops up! You can Sinteract! right from there... and you can even use the Main > Attachment menu to get access to the core script menu from there as well, all without having to click your attachments.

The Seraph IIs turned out so well, that the base build deserved some more attention... and that's just what it got in the new Seraph II Crusader Armored Wings and Seraph II Consort Jewelled Wings! You can find all three in the Main Store and the Vleet Satellite, as well as on the SL Marketplace here:

Seraph II Bare Wings

Seraph II Crusader Wings

Seraph II Consort Wings

**Note: Current customers who already have the A4 version of the old Seraph Wings should receive the Seraph II update package the next time they wear them. If you don't, please IM Galathir Darkstone and I'll get it sorted out for you ASAP **

Unleash Your Beast - The Savage Beast Line!

The holidays have come and gone... and I feel a bit like they ran me over ;) Just before Christmas, I did get the old Neko/Anthro items updated to A4... and actually merged them into a new line: The Savage Beast! This new line has a full assortment of attachments, including Upper & Lower Body Furs so you can Unleash Your Best... without having to cover any of it up!

The Line includes Plain & Jewelled (Style 1) versions of: Ears, Upper & Lower Body Fur, Forearms, Straight & Bushy Tails, Full & Calf-Down Legs & paws! Additionally, I whipped up some Mane-Like Hair (Long & Short for Male and Female), a set of Prim Whiskers, and 4 sets of Tattooes to let you toss some Stripes or Spots over your favorite skin! Everything is available in both Male & Female versions! As a side note, you may want to check out Alia's new Hybrid Skins over at Fallen Gods... as the Furred Hybrids skins go GREAT with the new Savage Beast line!

Right now, this line is only available in-world, though now that I'm recovering from the Holidays, I hope to have it all listed on XStreet soon!

Classic Horns ... Meet A4/Sinteract!

After getting the Warhawk's Tail and Angrumaz Oracle Horns ready, I finally found the inspiration and energy to get into the old inventory and update some oldies but goodies!

Both the Dark Brood Series Demon Horns and the Abyssal Series Demon horns got a full A4/Sinteract! Workover. As popular as some of these have become over the last 2 years, I hope that you all will enjoy the new versions all over again... because the new textures and options bring so many new options to the table that these really are brand new all over again!

These are now loaded into the Demon Horn Vendors and the Multi-Vendors at my stores. They are also available with all of my other items on XStreetSL. If you need to exchange your old Alchemy v2, v2.5, or v3.0 sets for the new A4 sets, drop into either the Main Store or the Mature Satellite and look for the 'Exchange For Free' sign. You can click that sign to get the instructions for submitting your item for update, as well as a list of updated products. There are a few caveats to consider when exchanging your v3.0 Horns though - I've dropped the (somewhat weak) animated texture flames and primative particle effects from the horns in those serieses that had them. I ~may~ possibly add back some nicer particle effects in a future update to those horns.

Diabolic Crusader & Dragaerian Templar

I definitely enjoyed getting both of these sets ready to go, since they are both something I enjoy earing myself. The Crusader is a set that I started working on last year, but it went on hold when the TP issues went South. Happily, that is no longer an issue!

The Dragaerian Templar set is intended to help flesh out one of the Elder Races that Sinjun & I will be introducing in the upcoming Role Play Lore for Atlan Tu Sura. Think of them as a cross between Dragons & Demons ;)

You can find both sets in-world at my Main Stores & Shoppes, or on XStreetSL (Crusader & Templar (Wings) or Tempar (No Wings)).

Dark Seducer Updated to A4

The Dark Seducer has joined the other products updated to A4! Like the Temptress, this one was a major job, but definitely worth the trouble! I think that you will really enjoy all of the new options and textures! Also, the architecture changes will put the days of those annoying teleport/region change bugs behind you! In fact, after finishing this update, started working on the Nihilim and Seraph wings' updates. I was able to teleport to several regions wearing the full dark seducer set, the Seraph (A4 version of the Fallen Angel wings), my hair, and my A4 HUD with no problems at all! Almost 1600 prims and nothing locked up or fell off! You can imagine how pleased I was!

If you have an A3 version of this set, you should definitely update to the new version as soon as it is convenient for you. If you visit either the Vleet or Atlan Tu Sura Stores, you can find a sign that will give you the update instructions (or just check the Blog Entry for the Nihilim Horn update, which lists the exchange procedure).

The updated full set of this armor is now available in all A4 Multi-Vendors, as well as special Dark Seducer vendors at some locations. You can also get it on XStreetSL, if that is your preference.

New Release: Chiroptera Wings

By now most of you already know the Chiroptera Wings are finished and available at any A4 Vendor... as well as on XStreetSL! I'm very pleased with the way they turned out, and I think that you all will be as well. They are easily one of the most (if not the most) advanced sculpted wings in SL. They feature:

• 100% New & Custom Sculpts! These wings are brand new, and 100% Galathir's original creation! This means the maps are crafted with the same precision and attention to detail as everything else he creates! Visit the store and take a look at the model... and see for yourself how well the Inner Membrane and Outer Membrane mesh together... no gaps, no seams! Just 100% gorgeous wings!

• Only 8 Sculpt Maps! This means that while they use 59 prims each, they will load VERY quickly! In addition, those sculpt maps remain loaded at ALL TIMES. This means your wings won't ball up when you open or close them while you have to wait for the different maps to load!

• Hide-away Hidden prims! In short, this means that the prims you don't need shrink down and hide away inside the root prim... which means you don't spend time accidentally clicking on the 'open' part of the wings when they are closed and vice versa! No more fighting with accidentally clicking your wings when you are trying to click something in front of your avatar!

• Dynamic Wing Tilt! Unlike most wings, which flap the same no matter what you are doing... standing on the ground... hovering... flying up or down... these new wings react to your actions, giving a much more believable animation! When you are just hovering, the wings tilt forward some, to give the impressing their flapping might actually be generating lift. When you fly up, they reach further up before flapping down, as if actually tryng to move through the air above you. When you fly down, instead of flapping, these wings will trail up above you, as if working more like rudders to control your descent... until you start flapping again!

• Optional SmartWing Automation! Just like my previous wings, these wings can be set (and are, by default) to auto-open and start flapping when you start flying... then go still and fold when you land. Absolutely no buttons to fuss with... they do it all for you!

• Full configuration control over Grounded & Flying states. You can tell the wings how they should act in each state: Open/Close, Fold/Open, Back/Relaxed/Wide/Flapping, and even Hide/Show!

• Complete A4/Sinteract! compatibility! Naturally, these come already configured for Sinteract! and ready for you to customize with your A4 HUD! In addition to all the usual controls, these wings can shrink as small as 20% of their original scale... making them ideal for use as Vestigal Wings on your favorite sexy Succubus avatar... or even fitting for some Tinies!

• Transparency & Glow control via A4 HUD! Yeah... all my A4 items have this option... but it looks pretty incredible on these wings... and I've seen nothing like it in SL! I'll be building a display today to show these off with a Ghostly Glow!

Obviously, I could ramble on and on and on... but the bottom line is, you just have to check these out for yourself. Come visit us on the Grid and look for our model, Dreythos. He's all decked out and waiting to show them off for you!

Teaser ~ New Wings Almost Finished

I finished the scripting on a new set of wings, and they are just about ready to hit the store! Morning has caught up with me after an all nighter, so they will have to wait until later today, but as soon as I get them configurered for Sinteract! and get the Vendor Notecard ready, they will be hitting the store and XStreet. For now, I've uploaded the promo shots to the Flickr Stream where you can see why I am so excited to get these done! I'll fill in more details in another entry later today when the release rolls out!

New Release: Fingertip Claws & Nails

The next A4 goodie is in the vendors! These Claws/Nails have 2 states that you can definte the size/length/cut for... and then swtich between them with a simple menu click! Naturally they are also Sinteract! ready, just like the other new items.

My favorite bit about these is the way the Nails literally GROW into claws when you switch between states!

You can get this goodie from any of my A4 vendors, or on XSteet.

Grand Re-Opening Plans

Things are falling into place for our huge Grand Re-opening celebration. The Re-Opening will kick off Friday, July 31, with the Club re-opening its event schedule. So far, we have Rev & Sonya kicking it off at 10AM SLT. We're still piling on the events, but expect it to be as close to 24 hours as we can schedule until Monday monrning at 2AM SLT.

In addition, the A4 HUD will be available in my Main Store for FREE during that weekend event. This is to give all of my present customers a chance to get the HUD for their (soon-to-be-updated) current Sinful Needs goodies without having to spend more Lindens than they already have. Be mindful that the HUD will sell seperately, unlike the more basic Alchemy 3 HUDs that came with the older inventory. This is because the A4 HUD is a major appliance, as it were, and it is NOT intended to become just another HUD prim bouncing about in your inventory. If you haven't gotten all the details on the A4 HUD, visit my Main Store (Or either of the NoR location in Remembrance or Megapolis) and click my Newsletter to sign up. From there you will be able to grab the June & July Newsletters, which have the scoop on the new HUD.

For the week following, the HUD will be available in my Main Store and the Vleet Mature Satellite locations at a discount (selling for 300L). Starting Friday, August 6th, my Store will kick off its Grand Re-Opening event, which will run until about 2AM SLT Monday, August 9th. At that time the HUD will go to its intended full price of 500L.

Expect the HUD to come with a few gifts in the box so you'll have something to try it on right away, but by 8/6, new A4 & Sinteract! items will be hitting the Main Store for the second weekend of the big celebration. I think you will really enjoy the first few items that I am finishing up right now. I will also be working to update current inventory, though it is an admittedly time consuming process. Both New Releases and Product Updates will be announced in the Sinful Needs & Sinful Needs Updates groups, in my Newsletter, and right here on the Blog.
