Contact Has Been Made!

Weather! or not? is back with a dose of the ridiculous for you this week with the following...

Ever felt the need to project lightning from your eyeballs? We have! We know this feeling well, so we made this for your convenience:

When the HUD button is triggered animated lightning prims dart forward. Simply stand close to your inteneded target, look at them, then click the HUD... ZANG! A nasty phase shifted zapping sound will play and coloured lightning will beam from your eyes! Whether this lightning has a positive or a negative effect is purely a matter of imagination and superstition ;) Either way, you will definitely have made contact!

We hope this product provides you lots of fun!

Get your new super-power at our Main Store!

I'm proud to introduce to you a new umbrella offering in collaboration with the renowned and wonderfully talented hyasynth Tiramisu of ~silentsparrow~! Combining her charming original strawberry vines designs and our wrought iron whimsy sculpted umbrella, we have created the Strawbrella. Windblown blossoms and raining berries emit from this one, and wow are they cute! Weather! or not? main store - available here :)

Charming Low-prim Footbridge!

Back with another of our low-prim, high-quality landscaping creations - a lovely arched bridge perfect for small waterways and paths. All unique sculpting work, you won't find this design anywhere else on the grid. All the boards and railings are actually three-dimensional sculpted elements - not just textures. Comes with an optional shadow prim as well. You can modify the size of this as you need to fit your specific location. Come check it out yourself at our main store location in Cape Victoria.

Yellow Brick Road to Nowhere and Pose Stations!

We released this during the Fantasy Faire, but never had a chance to blog it... plus we've just released a whole set of other interactive scenes based on the original build!

First up is The Yellow Brick Road to Nowhere. It is is a 16m x 50m piece of interactive offworld scenery with several different poses attached. It was designed to sit mostly beyond the edge of a sim. Of course, it can really can be used many different ways, including entirely within parcel boundaries. The poses provide a way of inhabiting this object even when it protrudes over the edge of a sim boundary. You can have up to 9 avatars posed on the Road at the same time! The poses match moments in the story - you can skip down the road with your friends, sleep in the poppies, get crushed like the Witch under a house, hang up and scare crows, cower in the bushes, and be rusted solid like the Tin Man!

If you prefer, you can now choose just single activity areas. Each Yellow Brick Road Pose Station is a 8m x 8m piece of scenery with an associated pose. The large transparent poseball over the scenery makes them easy to click from a long way away. Each one comes with two versions. One includes the grass textured base, miniature road, and emerald city. The second version is more simple and has less prims as it just consists of the scenery specific to the pose.

They make fun interactive additions to your home, garden, shop, or other build. People love to take pics of themselves and their friends while playing on the Pose Stations, and they will remember the unique experience! There are 6 different kinds available.

Curious to see it in person? No worries, just drop on by our shop and take a peak! We have the whole build rezzed off-sim... and, you can even hang out and fish the 7 Seas at the same time if you like :)

Enjoy, Further and Fang of Weather! or not?

Dragonfly madness at the Alt Fair

The Alt Fair is all about protecting people from exposure to Malaria from mosquito bites by providing nets to families. It's a simple concept, but a powerful and effective one. Weather! or not? decided to go with the bug theme for our exclusive releases for the Fair... so we went with dragonflies! (Further has a bit of a thing for dragonflies, you see). There are a series of these tshirts - with two different colors schemes for the graphic and then varying shirt fabric hues as well. These forest green ones pictured are the variety released exclusively for the Fair.

... and of course we had to release an umbrella as well - this one is a lovely Green Dragonflybrella! It features the same swarming particle system that the Batbrella uses.

The Alternative Fair is on the Pulse, Nomine, Snatch City and New Kadath Sims April 22-May 2. The first Annual SL Alternative Fair features over 50 designers in Punk, Rock, Gothic, Grunge, Lolli, Visual Kei, Cyberwear and many other styles of Alternative Clothing, Skins, Hair and Accessories.
