Some more info

Hi there, Nikala Thespian here. I'm the builder for Cold Embrace products, I'm also a complete technophobe and never wrote a blog thingy in my life.

Anyways, While Lyn's been hard at work with all her behind the scenes madness that is going on, I thought I'd keep you updated with a few things from the building side of things.

  • Just finished a first draft for a rigid stock with 6 poses... Totally immobilizes the wearer whilst leaving them in very comprimisable positions. probobly about 60% complete on this overall.
  • Cuffs, design complete, poses done, waiting on walking animations and scripting. cannot give a % as scripting has yet to start. They look fantastic and I can promise it'll be worth the wait.
  • Spreader bar, I completed one, then in my infinite wisdom chose that it didn't look good enough and deleted all copies and emptied my trash so that I was forced to start again... It's on my list and will be coming soon (probably sooner that the 2 above).

I could list all my upcoming ideas and all that too but, most of my ideas are pretty crackpot and never even get to the texturing stage... Occasionally the odd silly one will make it though (gotta love dildo mittens)... I'm sure I had a point with this paragraph but I can't remember now. So much for keep it short and informative.

I'm open for product suggestions, so drop me a notecard if you have any.

Nika... xx

Information and notes

So this blog is pretty much about everything that has to do with Cold Embrace. I have notes ideas about bringing everything to another level. I'm going to make them public and give some info on the current status, and maybe an estimated time on when it will be finished.

Current working on:
  • The main website.
  • New update system.
  • Testing of the new gag version.
  • Making ALL items compatible to run plugins with the option to turn RLV off.
  • Score system (More info later on).
  • Web control (Working it out, info later on).

Screenshots from the main site:



Progress:
  • Website lay-out (100% Complete).
  • Forums (70% Complete).
    • Categories need to be created.
    • Some custom profile fields need to be added.
    • Registration needs some adjustments, to register your Second Life character.
    • Some minor template changes (Colors etc).
  • Website coding (20% done).
    • Have to add missing pages, link forum categories with the website.
    • Product registration (requires in world scripting also).
    • Web control (Allowing control of in-game items through the website).
    • Score list, top list, etc (This is lowest priority at this time).
    • Update list, notes, etc.
    • Support/ticketing system (Allowing to submit tickets in-game an view status on the website).
    • Product page (An overview of our products, including being able to rate and/or give comments on it).
    • Report bugs page.
  • Updates on gags (80% Completed).
    • Preparations for future updates.
    • Make leash universal. (Making it work with all leashposts).
  • Updates on Mittens (0% Completed).
  • Updates on Fiddles, Yoke, Rigid Armbinder and Rigid Cuffs (0% Completed).
  • Update system. (10% Completed).
    • Need to script the server.
    • Need to finish the webserver and find a host.
    • Client script.
    • Client script giver.
  • Notecard information updates (0% Completed).
  • Mainstore (0% Completed).
    • The money just isn't there at this moment.
    • Looking for land (Likely waiting till after the adult changes).

So as you can see there is still allot to be done. Colors indicate the priority of the issue, green is lowest, red is highest.
