The prison
Just want to let everyone know the prison is being scripted as soon as I'm done with RL stuff and store stuff. New items and updates have priority, i have to make enough money to both pay the rent and buy things i need for the prison. So please, go buy some stuff from us to support us! Or you can donate!
Anyways, thats all i have to say for now, it's sleepy time for me :P

New features, beta testers required
Cold Embrace is working on a new but fun plugin, currently only being developed on a select group of gags. But will be expanded to all items.
The feature itself is a plugin that enables you to run your gag in a competition mode, the top names are listed on a scoreboard in our shop. This means, if you have the highest score - you will be on top of the scoreboard. To get there you must wear the gag, and lock it into plugin mode - depending on the lock type (sloppy->total) you will gain score calculated from the time you are locked in the gag.
More info soon!
Update 1
The scoreboard is now online, you can see it by going in-world and teleporting to our sim at the norns. You can find a link in the menu on the right side.
New phase is tweaking the settings, some math to calculate the score and doing the plugin script.
On that note, I'm going to need testers - it need proper testing so I'm going to have to ask you to fill in an application. To get this, port to our store and find the box next to the scoreboard and click it. You will get further instructions from there.
Update 2
I'm taking a break from scripting, having trouble getting sleep and stuff so i have to delay this for now. On a side note, the basic scripting is done and the plugin works.

New Cold Embrace website
Today I'm going to look into setting up a temporary website if I'm not too exhausted by the time I'm home. It wont be anything too special but it will replace this blog - the goal for now is having a website with all info, links and other info on and it will be much more readable then this blog here.
That website will expand over time while i learn new things on how to make what i need in the future. I'll announce in this blog when the website is up, and try to port all the posts from this blog to the website and then this one will close down.
Update: Due to technical issues i can't start on the website, so it will be delayed.

Events
Last post for today, Cold Embrace wants to have success with the hangout and prison we put down and is looking for some volunteers who like event planning in their own unique way. We want more people to have fun and hang out at Cold Embrace, you are allowed to ask for a donation to all the people you draw into the event - We'll put you in the land group and you may set a tip jar or similar down.
Help Cold Embrace have some more regulars to hang out at our sim and you might just get some free stuff, only serious people thought.
Requirements:
- People skills, be good with people.
- Spare time, of course you can't plan anything if you don't put time in it.
- At least 1 year active on SL / Don't be a newb
- Online times, me and Nikala are both from Europe and things have to be discussed with us first so you have to be on when we are to talk about the events you're wanting to do.
Cold Embrace can provide rewards/prizes to use for events such as gift cards, interested then IM me in world (illiara.restless) or mail me at illiara.restless at gmail dot com

Furniture
Cold Embrace wants to sell more furniture, however this is an expensive process for us - full perm animations cost allot of money. I haven't even earned the money of the poses in the rug back yet.
The idea
The idea behind the rug was putting it for sale and all the profit would go to animations, new ones, good ones and not just freebies. Keep in mind that a couple animation can easily cost up to 1800L, sculpties and textures cost money too. So I'm easily losing more money then I'm making.
In short, we can't launch new furniture unless we're making more profit on the rug.

Missing Store Items
As you all know by now, not all items are in the store. We don't really have an idea when we'll be putting them back in there, and not all items will return.
Some items will be discontinued, I'll discuss this with Nikala and make a list on this blog so you know. All the old items that will return to the vendor will get updated first, it might take a while or it might be there next week, we can't really tell.
What we are currently working on is new items, some a little more expensive then our usual stuff but we have a sim to pay now and we could really use the money.
