Sanity Falls Trailer

Yay, the Sanity Falls Trailer is finished. After watching it you can't wait for April 1st to start hunting!

Sanity Falls Prizes - Peachy Keen

And today we talk also to Eolene Uralia, Co-Owner of Peachy Keen. Eolene is is a great builder and and part of the Sanity Falls builders team.

MadPea: Eolene, thank you for participating the Sanity Falls hunt. Madpea is looking forward to a great event that all SL will talk about. Tell our readers about your work and your products.

Eolene Uralia: hmmm, this is a hard question.  I hate to type about myself.  I am the original cube creator. Yes, all steal my builds.  I am a legend in SL, a legend in my own mind.  FAMOUS I tell you...  FAMOUS!!!  I see my cubes in SL everywhere...  most of them are stolen from me!     
Have a store that I share with Blueboy Huckleberry that is mostly toys that people can play in SL.   We also created a lot of toyland in thumper sim with the help of some great friends and creators in SL. 

MadPea: And what is your prize for the hunters?

Eolene Uralia: Well, I got to thinking about couches and chairs in SL and  why people sit on a couch and pose with friends...  so I was thinking it needed to be a little more interesting and created twisted....  a spin off of the twister game.  4 people can pose/animate on it at a time, and change their pose as well as adjust themselves on the twisted mat to take up some funny positions or just to align themselves.   In the future it is hoped that this game will actually work with spinning but it will take some time and many many animations.

Madpea: Finally, which 2nd prize is waiting for the hunters at the end?

The 2nd prize at the end: DUMBY avatar

Eolene Uralia: I suppose I am taking away the surprise for you all.  You have all heard of GUMBY?  Well we have a very lovely mesh avatar, named DUMBY, looks much like Gumby, but it is his long lost brother from another mother made by a friend named Heb Dexler for toyland.  Gumby and Dumby could pass for twins.  Too bad that Dumby grew up on the wrong side of town. If I have time to create something in the next week I will add that in with the final prize.

MadPea: Thank you for the short interview.

Alone these two wonderful prizes are worth participating the hunt. But there are 98 more to come! See the next gifts tomorrow!

MadPea: Thank you for participating the Sanity Falls hunt. Madpea is looking forward to a great event that all SL will talk about. Tell our readers about your work and your products.

Cutea Benelli: Grim Bros. is a place that will entertain you, even if you don't buy stuff. We are, as i like to say, your source for gowns, gears and giggles.

Here's a more or less complete list of what that includes: Shoes and boots (incredibly detailed heels, too), hats, belts, stockings, kilts, jewelry, artificial spines, masks, goggles, spears, glasses, skins, avatars (circus, freakshow, robots, steampunk machine, unique and crazy as well as pretty), compliment givers, shoulder creatures, carousels, steamboards, hair, monster avatars, non-human avatars (sofas, bunnies, and what not). victorian-inspired steampunk dresses, avantgarde fashion, doll fashion, bone gowns, literature inspired gowns (alice, brothers grim)

tl;dr: come to the grim side. we have cookies (ok that's a lie) and a rollercoaster in our shop (seriously, we do)

MadPea: And what is your prize for the hunters?

Cutea Benelli: Our hunt prize is an impressively practical hat for the modern adventurer who never knows what's up next..it makes you (look) well-prepared in almost any situation as it comes with basic adventure equipment such as scissors, knife, fork, chemicals, syringes, money, a bible as well as canned tomato soup. (two different hat shapes included in the box)

MadPea: Finally, which 2nd prize is waiting for the hunters at the end?

Cutea Benelli: It's a chest attachment called inner graveyard.  It's a bit of a dark heart, so to say.

MadPea: Thank you for the short interview.

13 Days till the Launch of the game that will blow SL away

Let the countdown to Sanity Falls Launch begin! Stay tuned as we're slowly revealing all kinds of goodies to come! :) Meet Alexander Blackwell, the main character that you will become in this game. The avatar and accessories are generously donated by Jaimy Hancroft from Death Row Designs and Alex' hair by Sebastien Aries from Shag.


This is how your story begins:
“I’m waking up with metallic taste of blood tainting my mouth. I look at my clothes and see blood everywhere, but I don’t feel any pain or see any wounds. It probably isn’t my blood. I try to think but realize that I have no memory of the last 24 hours. The last thing I remember is coming to Sanity Falls with my wife. I feel dizzy, someone must have drugged me.

Groggy and confused, I stagger onto my feet and call out for Livea. When silence answers me back, I become aware of my surroundings. I am on the edge of a bridge overlooking the Sanity River. In the puddle of blood beside me lays a phone. It starts ringing..”

Ready for the adventure? Time to start getting snacks in the house already, you don't want to leave your screen, till you solve this mystery. ;)

Show and Tell - New Host Taralyn Gravois

'Show and Tell' is always huge fun and much to laugh for builders and the audience. Here are some examples of the last presentation:

The line up last show was especially brilliant. It startet with Eolene Uralia, who showed the fascinated audience her first invention ever: The Box. Eolene said: “I am a legend in my own mind” She blames Linden to have theft her wonderful box. But she is proud, what all the builders on SL are doing with her boxes. With much laughter Eolene got enthusiastic applause. Eolene reacted very humble: "thank you. I am famous" Madpea can be proud to have Eolene as builder ;) 

The next built was a town in a box: "Nope-olize" A scaring Godzilla destroyed the houses with lot of dust. In the Godzilla costume was the builder Poi (Marshalpoi Jinx). He said: "When you done just do the rebuilt and it is as good as new." The audience loved the presentation and asked for repetitions.

Artist and builder Harter Fall was the next in the line. Harter ist known for builds with optical illussions and was several times awarded in SL. Here he presentend a box with a skull inside with seems to stare at everyone and to follow all movements. Poi shouted frightened: "IT WANTS MY SOUL!" Harter explained: "The surface the skull ist projected on is concave. So that it appears to rotate the opposite direction you look at it." Slightly scared but very impressed the audience gave Harter long applause. Alone Eolene insisted that it looks as one of her boxes.

Doesn't this avatar look cute, nice and innocent? If you think DJ Zelda (PowerVR) really is, you might be wrong. Zelda built and scripted a "Super Turkey Puncher". Poor turkeys explode in the screen. The audience loved it besides some, who felt with the animals. Jules Garobie said: "Stop hurting the birdy :(" But Elvira Fenwitch was more interested in the feathers to build new arrows. Arduenn Schwartzman asked for a Meeroo version.

Stupid Dump Display Name (Arduenn Schwartzman) presented a very nice mesh toaster with offers different sorts of sandwich. But the toaster has an extra feature and he needed a volunteer. Paramparamm Papp came and was asked to have seat on the toaster and to be toasted. Soto Hax shouted: "Wow! He turned a hedgehog into a guinea pig." And Param: "IT HURTS!" Arduenn took a seat too and showed that the bum is done, as soon as it starts to smoke.

 This was just a a part of the presented works. Sadly the last work, a huge airship build by Angelica Nansen, was that large that it bursted on the flight test the walls of the MadPea Arena. We only hope that the reburbishment works will be finished by today evening, when next 'Show and  Tell' is scheduled.

 Winner of the evening was the Turkey Puncher, place two has been shared by the skull and the toaster. All agreed that 'Show and Tell' was lot of fun and much to laugh. Everyone wanted to come back for the next 'Show and Tell' on Sunday. Piedra Lubitsch said: "I will definetely be back next time." You should not miss it too!

New host is Taralyn Gravois. Meet her today! The builder and gallerist enjoys seeing what comes out of your imaginations and sharing it with others.

Builders, make sure to appear early to join the contest board. First come, first serve!

Show and Tell each Sunday at 2 PM SLT!
