TWISTED HUNT FALL 2012
Once again, we’re all twisted.
This year’s Twisted Hunt theme is Darkness and since we’re dark all the time, this was a pretty easy theme to work with. Here’s what we have for you- if you can find them.
As of this writing, we believe all the boxes are out (they’re all definitely out.) and working properly. If they’re *not* working properly, someone *tell us*, because otherwise we have no way to know that. We would much rather know sooner rather than later if there’s some kind of borked permissions or a box not selling correctly. It’s a lot easier to correct the earlier we know about it.
However, please don’t ask us for hints. We won’t give them to you (really, we won’t.) and one or the other of us might not even know where the box IS at any given time (one of us might be asleep or something when it gets moved.) The Twisted Assistants have the current hints. That’s all we can tell you, and it’s all we’re going to tell you. Really.
The Midnight Cavern from Urban Forge contains 3 floors (one is a hidden basement with a secret door), a bathing pool/shower with 3 adjustable animations and a fireplace. There are instructions on how to use all the features contained within the box(at least there should be- someone tell me if there isn’t one.) The cavern is copy/mod/notrans.
From Dare Designs, the Flight of Darkness dress is fully rigged mesh (you’ll need a mesh viewer to see it properly) and has a flock of ravens surrounding a midnight blue gown with a slit side. It comes with 3 sizes and an alpha layer.
From The Fooding, the Darkness Decanter Set gives out glasses of wine on touch and features sparkling moon and stars on a midnight blue background. The set is mesh, so you’ll need a mesh capable viewer to see it properly.
From Dark 7, the Skeletal Hands bench, which is menu scripted and offers a variety of poses for you to enjoy. The bench is mesh, so you’ll need a mesh capable viewer to see it properly, but it’s pretty low prim for something so complex looking. Perfect for all your spooky outdoor builds for the season(or in our case, all year round.)
Happy Hunting, Twisted Folks!
Gothmas by Gaslight Prize Photos!
Though we don’t require anyone to provide us with a prize photo, a number of merchants have sent them to me. I’ve promised them all to add those photos to the blog, and I will also link them to each store’s listing on the master list.
Again, no one is required to give me a prize photo, but if they do, I’ll post it here (and on the master list) for everyone to see.
From -=FORSAKEN=- (store #6), the perfect accessory for your front door. At least our front door, anyway (I love this!)
Isn’t this cute? I love the hanging bat in the middle. Just perfect. I can’t wait to find this one myself!
Next, we have this wonderfully creepy little hat from >>Demonkitties<< (store #85) (the image shows both the front and back sides)
It even has the option for particle snow via the use of a channel message!
Stacey Farspire at @->~ InSpired Designs ~<-@ (store #90) has been very busy! So far she’s handed me three wonderful prize photos I’m happy to share with all of you:
First, there’s a snazzy cane for the dapper Gothmas gentleman, complete with a raven topper and claw base. The raven holds a snowflake in its mouth to usher in the winter season.
Second is a delightful ladies’ hat. With a a blue veil the color of a winter’s night, it also contains the raven with a snowflake in its beak as a motif.
Because that isn’t enough gifty goodness, there’s one more she’s sent me- something for everyone- A perfectly gothy skull candle to light your winter nights.:
This next prize is actually the first picture I received, *weeks* ago. Pipper Overland of PIPPER’S PLACE (store #73) was so fast to build this, I was completely amazed. But it’s SO adorable, I giggled and giggled. It’s a perfect Gothmas tree topper. The little angel of gloom:
From EVOLVING PIXELS, (store #98) I’ve gotten two wonderful and extremely elegant prize photos. The first is a chic and stylish Gothmas tree (this is gorgeous!) :
The other is a set of unique and elegant gothy candy canes. Very inventive!
I suspect these will be popular with the steampunk and victoriana loving folks as well!
For all you clothing lovers, you haven’t been forgotten! Wild Serenity (store #86) has a sexy and flirty offering for Gothmas by Gaslight this year:
With 2 skirt options and an elaborate bustier, you’ll look fantastic at all your holiday parties!
From ~Simply~ (store #25), we have a sparkly holiday gown sure to be a showstopper at your next formal night out:
It comes with an added, optional veil for an even more mysterious look.
Finally from Tuesday Blackheart at +Gothic Toys+ (store #79) a creepier offering for this year’s Gothmas by Gaslight. She’s giving away a full lich avatar, so you can win contests as the Ghost of Gothmas Yet To Come. It’s HUGE, btw (the photo is of me wearing it- believe me, it’s BIG.) and comes with its own AO:
That’s all the prize photos I’ve got so far. I’ll link these to the master list and post more (including our own, of course) as I get them. I think all these prizes are wonderful and inventive and I’m so pleased that people have worked so hard to come up with such great stuff! -AK
Oh is it March again? Welcome to Spring Hunt Season.
Between spring hunt season and the RedZone controversy, I haven’t been able to get here. I’m still stuck dealing with the RZ issue, but we did manage to get all the spring hunt prizes out. All 11 of them. Don’t even ask.
But we know people love to know what the prizes are, especially on these long , difficult hunts- so here we go.
For the first time, we’re participating in the STEAM hunt. We hadn’t previously because neither of us do brown(though Dare can pull brown off nicely, I… I have brown trauma. It’s just one of those things. Damned Good Design and Dare Designs are participating in STEAM IV which starts March 1 and goes through March 31:
This bathtub contains the same script engine as the bathtubs that are for sale at DGD. The little gears move on the water pumps as well. This prize ***WILL NOT*** be sold or given away once the hunt ends- if you want it, come get it now. It’s no mod/copy/no trans.
Over at Dare Designs we have Airship Raider, which comes with all parts shown, including the boots, belt, and hat. It’s versatile enough to go out dancing, and invade someone’s airship later.
Next we have the Roleplay Hunt. Dare Designs is participating in this one, and the hunt starts March 1 and ends on March 31. All you fantasy roleplayers should have a lot of fun with this one:
The outfit is called Cryphunter and should be perfect for all of your dark fantasy, chainmaille wearing needs. It includes everything (other than me) you see in the poster. (Girl not included- see how we got that name now?)
Ah yes, the Big One. It’s time once again for TWISTED HUNT. (I haven’t even finished unpacking the last one, so help me.) This time the theme is Nevermore. All six stores are participating with seven prizes in total (the two VA prizes are in one box.) Twisted Hunt starts on March 1 and ends on March 31. Good luck, gang.
Dare Designs is once again a sponsor of the Twisted Hunt, and this time, the prize is Bloodraven. It’s a Victorian Gothic outfit in blood red (just like the boxes) and comes with everything shown, including the hat, sunglasses and boots (but not me.) You can even wear it to hunt the Steam hunt later!!
From The Fooding, we have the Victorian Poet’s Inspiration Tray. It comes complete with pen and ink, laudanum, opium and absinthe, and gives out glasses of absinthe when touched, all on a delightful silver tray.
From Girl Not Included, we have The Raven, sitting on the bust of Pallas. As always, GNI prizes are full perm, so you can go nuts with this and even sell your own creations later.
There are two prizes at Virtual Alchemy(but both are in the same box.) The photo, called The Bleak December, contains a quote from The Raven at the bottom. The photo itself was taken by me- it’s not grabbed randomly off the internet and played with in pshop and laughably called “original artwork”. The second prize is the Nevermore Graveside Marker. The photo in the headstone can be replaced with any photo you like. It includes the pose, which you can adjust for positioning if you need to do that. Both prizes are copy/mod/no transfer and both will ***ONLY*** be available during Twisted Hunt. They will not be sold or given away after the hunt is over.
At Damned Good Design SL, there’s The Raven’s Writing Desk, an 1830′s style writing desk and chair with a raven backsplat and motif on the writing surface. The chair contains a sitting pose, and the set is copiable. It is exclusive to Twisted Hunt and will not be sold or given away once the hunt is over.
Finally, we have (as always) the granddaddy of them all. I always save the UF prizes for last, with good reason.
DONT REZ THIS IN YOUR HOUSE. SERIOUSLY. NOT KIDDING.
This is a full size two story house with a usable third floor tower/attic and a greenhouse in the back corner. It contains two fireplaces and front and rear entrances, as well as a master bedroom balcony. It is both modifiable (so you can mod it to your heart’s content) and copiable (for when you screw up modding it to your heart’s content.) It isn’t transferable. THIS version will ONLY be given away for Twisted Hunt. It will not be sold later. We are planning to release a darker version of this (Even Gothier.) and a Steam version as well (different color palette.) but they will not be available until the hunt is over.
As always: We expect you to hunt for all prizes. All prizes will be MOVED often, and hints changed. If we find out about people giving away hunt locations in local chat, or hunt groups, we will not hesitate to kick/ban. Stores have been modified to fool primfinders. We spent a LOT of time making these- we expect you to actually look for them.
Other than that? Go nuts, and happy hunting!
