Gachapon Vendor Sales Have Concluded

In compliance with Linden Lab policy regarding random play vendors, all gachapon vendors for both Organica and Wilds of Organica have been retired, as of 12AM September 1, 2021.

Automated exchangers will continue to operate and service both updates and permission change requests for the lifetime of the shop, so if you have any remaining transfer-only items to lock in to copyable, you should still be able to do so at the location identified in my Picks under ‘Gacha Exchange Policy’.

Thank you to all who have supported this aspect of Organica and Wilds of Organica’s product offerings.

Gachapon vending and related events allowed for a novel way to introduce full avatar content which I would normally not be able to on such a frequent basis, as well as providing exposure for niche products to a wider audience.

Moving forward, I’ll be assessing which items can be returned to normal sale (with or without some updates – various Bento and Bakes on Mesh updates are in consideration ) and which product offerings will be permanently retired.

Keep an eye on this blog for updates!

Recent Changes to Random Play Vendors & How it affects Organica & Wilds of Organica

As some of you may be aware, Linden Lab has recently put in place a new policy in which random play vendors will no longer be permitted use in Second Life. (link)

While the majority of both stores are non-gacha releases, it’s certainly true that participation in gachapon events made up a fair number of releases over the years.

With the presented deadline of August 31 closing in soon, I’ll be taking all of the gachapon vendors offline on August 31 to ensure compliance with the new policy.

Following this, most items will gradually return as generally purchasable items (with copy-perms) with some updates (this is a great opportunity to look in to options as far as offering avatars with Bakes on Mesh capability to help keep some costs to you low), but some will be completely retired.

About the updates and when they will happen

This will happen gradually and largely depend upon available space in the shop. There isn’t a lot of space currently and while I am considering expanding upward, maintaining a clear and usable shop layout is important to me.

Additionally, all of the potential updates I want to do, along with the repackaging and testing, are going to be time consuming.

Updates that largely do not require a complete redo will simply be made and offered as updates to existing product (IE: be loaded up in the updater/exchanger). Anything that requires a majority or complete redo from ground up will be offered as a new product. I have not firmly decided on which products (if any) will get this redo process, but if you have some thoughts please let me know. Customer interest will play a big part in which items get updated first.


As such, this month will be the last chance for you to pick up some of these avatars as is at the current low price of L$100. As always, any purchase of avatars from the Wilds of Organica can be exchanged from transfer-only to copyable using our automatic exchanger at the front of the shop.

All remaining gachapon vendors for Wilds of Organica are now located exclusively at the main store in Organica.

Chompers Imminent!

Wilds of Organica has the great privilege of being a part of Gacha Garden this May and as has been touched upon in a previous post, these adorable carnivorous plants will be available! Full details for use are available here (http://www.akimeta.com/organica/?page_id=3072) but here are some quick details:

In addition to the twelve main items you can win, the Gilt Fantasy colour is available *exclusively* as a Gacha Garden Seeds of Inspiration item, which means one will be dispensed every twenty plays, but also that this particular colour will be retired once the event has ended.

This AniMesh pet can be held or rezzed on the ground, is available in 12 colours, and operates independently of any other Chomper. Rez on the ground and click to turn on/off movement or to change its movement range. Wear to hold using a Bento-friendly animation!

This pet is *also* convertible to a full avatar (with an add-on pack, sold separately at the Wilds of Organica main store).

Gacha Garden opens May 1 and runs thru May 22 – Check out WoO’s Gacha Vendor here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gimme Gacha Productions/111/68/22

New Bird Buddies for The Arcade, September 2016!

Hi Everyone!

I’m pleased to announce Wilds of Organica will be participating in this month’s round of The Arcade.

Assorted TitsA couple of boobies

 

PP-Vendor-Legend-1024 PP-Reward-1024

This time you can play for up to 10 different passerine or pelagic static birds that would go great with the special exclusive reward item, which is a bronze birdcage!

The birds are static models but four poses for each bird are available if exchanged (rez your transfer-only prize in the blue circle listed in the accompanying notecard for automated exchange).

Please note! While this gacha will make its way to the Wilds of Organica main store eventually, the cage itself will be exclusive to the event and is a mod/copy (with some copy-only scripts) item given out after 25 plays of the machine!

If you’d like your chance at it, be sure to visit The Arcade during the month of September to play the machine!

Birds are 1-2 LI each, cage is 4LI.

The Arcade returns at 12AM, Sept 1, 2016! See you there!

New Pomeranians at The Arcade for June!

Pomeranian-HeadLegent-1024

Wilds of Organica will be participating in June 2016’s round of The Arcade with this new set of Pomeranian Avatars! As part of this gachapon event, each play from the Wilds of Organica machine will provide a randomly selected prize from the pool (there are two rare items this round) that includes:

  • A full mesh quadrupedal avatar
  • matching animation override & eye control HUD
  • Optional mod/copy exchange

Be sure to visit The Arcade starting June 1st thru 30th at The Arcade region in SL!

Additionally, Wilds now has a Facebook Page! The new page is here at https://www.facebook.com/WildsOfOrganica/

I know I recently posted a couple videos over here and for major stuff I’ll probably still post to the blog and link from Facebook and the subscriber kiosk, but sometimes I have work in progress shots that don’t warrant full blog posts or in-world notices, so with the Facebook Page, I’ll be able to post those plus update those of you who don’t get the chance to log in all that often to see new notices.

Gacha Items make their way to Organica today!


For the first time ever, Organica’s offering gacha or ‘gachapon’ items! Three sets are available and it costs L$50 per play. All items are mod/transfer and one item in each set is rare! These gacha machines will be on hand for the duration of winter, after which they’ll get packed away for the year.

 

 

 

Additional notes:

Items from Around The World have finally made it to the main store; as a reminder, that’s the Avant couches and armchairs, the After Malevich coffee table, the Menagerie Nesting Dolls and the framed Suprematist art prints. They’re available in store only for now – Updates will be made to the marketplace upon available time.
