Infinity Nikki and Beyond!

 Ok, that blog topic is kind of lame.  Maybe it needs some more brainstorming.  

Something I have become a bit aware of, the more I play through this game, its a lot larger than I expected.  I am actually not entirely sure how some people are so far along because I feel like I have been playing it a LOT and as near as I can tell, I am maybe 1/4th of the way through the current content.  Maybe I am way wrong, but I am on I think Chapter 2, and I want to say there are 8 chapters available currently.  I am not sure, if only there was some way to find put this information somewhere.
 


I am also only like, halfway through the Pass.  I didn't buy the Pass, I considered it but I am not real sure its worthwhile.  As near as I can tell, there are no cosmetics in the pass, which feels like an incredibly missed opportunity for a game entirely themed around cosmetics.  You don't even get any premium currency to by shop cosmetics.  You do get some diamonds, which can be used to buy tickets to roll for outfit parts, but if I am reading things right, you get enough for maybe 6 rolls.


Kind of pathetic.

I don't mind buying passes or in game items, but passes really should always feel like "a super great value.". If you sell a single cosmetic for $10-$20, the $10 pass should include 2-3 cosmetics.  Make it feel like an incredible deal so players but it every month.  Its just how it seems to be in most other games.

The only real value I have seen mentioned is currency for time gated upgrades and material farming.  I have only recently started caring about that stuff, but even then, I don't feel a pressing need for more of the time gated mats.

ANYWAY.

 
 
One of the most surprising things about this game is that the story is actually pretty good and pretty compelling.  When I went into this game, I assumed it was just, mini games With a dress up element.  I kind of figured I would like the dress up bits, but would get tired of the mini games really quickly.  That has not been the case at all.  I want to follow the story and see where it goes.

The world itself is also massive and pretty full.  Its fun to just, wander and explore.  I am really enjoying the photo mode though I need to play around with it a bit more to get better results.  I've also had a bit of an annoyance with it blocking the regular print screen key.  I don't know why it thinks it needs to do that but it does.

Setting up a Google Docs Form for Second Life Interaction

I'm using Google Docs now with Second Life for tracking a few different things, and the basic set up is the same, so I've decided to just make this it's own post, that I can reference later.  For this example, I'm using aspects of the sales tracker script, but it can be adapted for any script. Google Forms can be easily used to track various inworld activities in Second Life.  I am currently using it to track visitors to my store and for tracking sales in my store.  It's free, it doesn't require running or setting up a webserver or PHP or SQL.  I will say up front, I have no idea if there are API limits at all to this.  My use is extremely low traffic.  I suspect that, since it's Google, it's pretty robust. Firstly, go to your google drive, at drive.google.com .  Create a new form and name it something useful.  In this case, I used "Gique Sales Tracker". Change the default included field to "Short Answer" and give it a usef...

LSL - Vendor Script with Google Docs Tracking

Better late than never I suppose.  Last post, like 2 years ago, I talked about how to set up a Google Form to track data in a Google Sheet for use in LSL scripts.  It's very similar to how you would make a GET call in a PHP web form.  Anyway, I'm here to post a Vendor Script that is designed to work with the Google set up to track sales.  The form values you want to create in the Google Form are: Avatar, Location, Price, and Item. The script is available below, you can also have one delivered through the Marketplace .  I have used this vendor script in world but I didn't build the base Vendor functionality, so I would test it out with a cheap price and a friend or an alt to make sure it's working properly.  I take no responsibility if this screws up and you lose L$.  This script should be placed in the root prim of a vendor along with an informational Notecard of some kind, and a single item to be distributed on payment.  You'll need to box ...

A Quick Look at the Normie Head

I've tried a pretty wide variety of MESH bodies, but I've not really stepped into the realm of MESH heads yet.  Partially because they all are pretty expensive.  Also, there's a pretty large variety of options and it's not quite as clear on which is "best for me".  The body part felt pretty easy, for the most part, they are a layer a MESH that lays over your standard avatar skeleton to sort of smooth things out.  There are nuances in there, but picking one and then adjusting it with the standard body sliders felt pretty straight forward. Heads feel different.  Like, it would be easy to end up spending 2000+ L$ on something that I couldn't possibly make work for my "preferred style".  It's not clear to me how much these heads can be adjusted using the standard sliders.  The head and face are kind of a big deal, at least to me, as part of the identity of my Avatar.  It's what I look like.  I use it in SL, I have all of my values written d...
