[12:09] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): First of all, as some of you are aware, Precious Breedables is well into its Second year, and with the release of the Precious Hippos we've earned the 's' at the end of our name...
[12:09] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): we actually have more than one breedable.
[12:10] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Future projects have been lined up to increase this product line, and there are many considerations on the table at this point, not the least of which is the Precious Wolves, which are presently in Alpha Stage development.
[12:11] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): The team is working toward bringing the Precious Wolves into Closed Beta as quickly as possible, and as such, we'll be taking sign-ups at some point during the month of February 2012 for the closed beta team. An announcement for this will be made on the http://PreciousBreedables.com website when sign-ups are available.
[12:11] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): In order to sign up for the Wolves closed beta there will be a few requirements.
[12:12] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): 1) You will be required to sign a NEW Non-Disclosure Agreement with Precious Breedables and Wolfhaven Productions
[12:12] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): 2) You will have to have used either the Precious Dragons or Precious Hippos products previously.
[12:13] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): and last but not least, 3) You will be required to have a place to put 100+ prims worth of Wolves and Accessories to maintain them.
[12:14] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): The Precious Dragon line was a written from scratch breedable with an astonishing number of genetic possibilitys (heck I can't even think of the word for the number of possible combinations).
[12:15] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): We did sort of 'dumb' that down for the Precious Hippos, and added a few new twists to things in the form of accessories
[12:15] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): We also added a feature that allows you to turn the COLOR off on a hippo so that while it does have an underlying color code, you can see the hippos 'skin' in its natural state.
[12:16] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): With the Precious Wolves, while they will have an underlying color code as a 'part' of their genetics, color will likely NOT be a factor on their visible aesthetics.
[12:17] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): In writing the Precious Hippos, we've come up with a totally -new- back-end engine to control and maintain them that differs greatly from the dragons. Many of the improvements we've developed will eventually be retro-fitted TO the dragons allowing us to offer additional features in the future.
[12:18] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Some features we would like to see appear on the dragons won't be possible due to prim count limitations. We simply do -not- wish to add an extra prim to them for the sake of being able to add accessories to the list.
[12:18] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Back to the Hippos for a moment -
[12:18] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Some future developments coming to the hippos include additional accessory items
[12:19] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): these may include jewelery, additional clothing items, and other fun toys for the hippos to play with.
[12:19] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): We will also be introducing a 'game' for the hippos to play competitively against other hippos with different owners.
[12:20] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): The winners of such competitions will be given bonuses - though we've not yet firmly decided what those bonuses will be... it may be experience points for the breeder/owner of the hippo, it may be boosts to the hippos genetic stats. We're still deliberating on that.
[12:21] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Another feature we're looking to add is to the website, and starting with the hippos, we're looking to incorporate a geneology function to the hippos.
[12:21] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): This will allow hippo owners to peruse their genetic lines, and see what they have, via the website.
[12:22] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): We don't have a definate timeline on that as of yet, but we're looking into it.
[12:22] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): The wolves will have genetic attribute points similar to the hippos.
[12:23] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): 1) Color, Some form of shine/glow (though we may not use those terms to express it), Skin Styles, and Eye Styles.
[12:24] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): We are also looking to include species patterns to the Wolves (similar to Tribal markings -- think 'tattoos' here) that will give them a unique look.
[12:25] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): so if we have a wolf with a skin called "Grey" there might be several variants of that "Grey" skin with different marking sets and rarities.
[12:27] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): My turn?
[12:27] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Yes
[12:27] Sparkles Darkfire: never heard Mysticals talk so much
[12:28] Sybria Wolfhaven (sybria.young): *~*~* HEHEHE *~*~*
[12:28] Sybria Wolfhaven (sybria.young): yes he charged his batties
[12:28] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): One of the nice things about the new back-end engine we've come up with is the fact that it can be applied to many different types of breedables. The engine running the Dragons is VERY SPECIFIC and because of the VERY LIMITED in its flexibility for its adaptation to other forms of animal.
[12:28] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Batteries?
[12:28] Sybria Wolfhaven (sybria.young) hides
[12:28] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor) just shakes his head.
[12:28] Sparkles Darkfire: ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
[12:28] Gratia (dretta.swords): giggles
[12:28] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Actually I stole some of Traven's coffee.
[12:28] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): hehe
[12:29] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): ::coughs::
[12:29] Sparkles Darkfire: he dont even say Madness anymores
[12:29] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): You're just mad to think it sparkles.
[12:29] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): I'll sic my shelltchi on you! hehe
[12:29] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): ahem
[12:29] Sparkles Darkfire: sowwy Uncie Travens.... sits quiet agains
[12:30] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Anyhow... back end - we've got a new groove on with the server that is much more adaptive than the original designed for the dragons.
[12:30] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Part of what made that possible is the things we learned WHILE developing the dragons.
[12:31] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): hind sight is a 20/20 thing with coding. You look back at what you did and see where you could have done better.
[12:32] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): So... with that said, we've been compiling a list of other breedables we may wish to get involved with,
[12:33] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): And we've received many many suggestions as to what some people might want to see. Precious 'Sparkles' not withstanding... (and I don't think even Second Life is ready for THAT :p) we've got some good possibles lined up. We also have a SPECIAL project waiting in the wings after the wolves that may well revolutionize breedables in Second Life. (Though I can't spill the details on that -yet-).
[12:34] Gratia (dretta.swords): still thinks platypi wo uld be good
[12:34] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): We'll actually be taking suggestions via the mailbox guys.. so feel free to drop a notecard.
[12:35] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Now... some of you may be familiar with 'other' breedables companies.
[12:36] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): One of which was Petable and another was called Micro-Pets (who did the pigs and I believe some form of cat)
[12:37] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Micro-pets is gone... he pulled up stakes and bolted then released his 'source code' to the community for a 'fee'
[12:38] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): this, like the release of the "Quail" code some time ago has caused a plethora of low quality breedables that (while in some cases cute) don't function very reliably and come with very poor customer service.
[12:39] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): We encourage you all to consider OTHER breedables, but ask that when doing so, you look closely at what you're getting.
[12:39] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): SOME of the breedables out there are absolutely LETHAL to region and sim performance and actually adversely affect -everything- around them.
[12:39] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Ability to move, server communications, etc.
[12:40] Sybria Wolfhaven (sybria.young): including Ours
[12:40] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): I think what syb is trying to say is that our breedables can be adversely affected by others
[12:41] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): ahh
[12:41] Azhran Zapedzki: Unfortunately, I don't know much about scripting and performances, how do I get more information about breedables like that?
[12:41] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): easy: ask traven >:D
[12:42] Gratia (dretta.swords): if in doubt ask Wolfie
[12:42] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): it varies - and we hesitate to publish statistics about other peoples creations.
[12:42] Azhran Zapedzki: I understand that is a problem.
[12:42] Azhran Zapedzki: If everybody is going to do that, he might get a lot of work.
[12:42] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): However, if you look at sim stats by CTRL+SHIFT+1 on a given sim
[12:43] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): there are several numbers to examine, including 'Active Scripts' , Packet Loss, and 'Script Events'
[12:43] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): any full prim private sim with more than 6000 scripts running is GOING to have issues.
[12:44] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): any full prim private sim with over 1000 Script Events can be a major issue.
[12:44] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): it means that the scripts are basically hammering the server.
[12:44] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): ouch
[12:45] Azhran Zapedzki: I know how to view the stats of a SIM but I don't know who's objects and scripts are running.
[12:46] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): You have to have access to estate tools to see that Az, though I understand Viewer 2 has some functions in it for parcel owners to see their own.
[12:46] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Unfortunately most people don't own their sim, they just rent a piece of it.
[12:46] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): or rent the whole thing :P
[12:46] Azhran Zapedzki: Yes, to get a private home sim you need to own a full region first. I can't afford that.
[12:46] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): in those cases Lirael - if they don't have access to estate tools they're not getting a good deal.
[12:47] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Consequently they can't CONTROL what all may happen on their sim.
[12:47] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): We've taken steps in the past to try and educate people on their script counts.
[12:47] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): granted
[12:47] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Here's the big news
[12:47] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): at some point LL will LIMIT scripts severely compared to whats allowed today
[12:48] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): How?
[12:48] Azhran Zapedzki: Oh, I did learn much thanks to wolfhaven.
[12:48] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): adn there's gonna be a lot of ticked off people when they find out their hair with 1200 scripts can no longer even be WORN much less rezzed.
[12:48] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): Not the hair!
[12:49] iiriyuu Whybrow: Which will force people to get creative
[12:49] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): hair, shoes, prim clothes, things with dozens, if not hundreds of resizer scripts in them.
[12:49] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): its all very very bad news for sims.
[12:49] Azhran Zapedzki: Everybody naked and hairless, that is going to be a sight =^x^=
[12:50] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): I only keep resizer scripts in an object WHILE actively using them; as soon's it's resized, the scripts are deleted
[12:50] Gratia (dretta.swords): is why i keep mine limited to 120 or less
[12:50] iiriyuu Whybrow: Robot avatars will suddenly become very popular
[12:50] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): I am neither naked or hairless thank you
[12:50] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): [12:50] Scripts counted on Lirael Ferenczy: 82 [3856K] [91.46 µSeconds]
[12:50] Azhran Zapedzki: Yes, but you are creative
[12:51] Azhran Zapedzki: A lot of people are not aware of the scripts they wear.
[12:51] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): I'm wearing 12 scripts
[12:51] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): LOL
[12:51] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): lol
[12:52] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): I think iir is the highest in the room
[12:52] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): lol
[12:52] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): 100
[12:52] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): hehe
[12:52] iiriyuu Whybrow: Damn
[12:52] Joe Magnus (joe5.requiem): XD
[12:52] iiriyuu Whybrow: Or something
[12:52] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): prim avies :)
[12:52] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): she's not the only prim avatar in the room
[12:52] iiriyuu Whybrow: Still not as bad as some furry-type avatars I've got
[12:52] Azhran Zapedzki hides
[12:52] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): haha
[12:53] Sparkles Darkfire: mes 11, mes a good girl
[12:53] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): but you get the idea
[12:53] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): high script counts can be a major problem
[12:53] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): if you consider an attachment can have 256 prim
[12:53] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): and you can wear many of those
[12:53] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): if all of them had a resizer in reach prim.
[12:53] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): ouch
[12:53] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): You could kill a sim just by TP'ing in
[12:54] iiriyuu Whybrow: Shapeshifting wars
[12:54] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): (I knew someone with a 'dress' that did just that a couple years ago)
[12:54] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): You literally could not move.
[12:54] Azhran Zapedzki: Dressed to kill?
[12:54] iiriyuu Whybrow: Apparently
[12:54] Gratia (dretta.swords): lord had someone on sim the other day that was 896 scripts
[12:54] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): haha
[12:54] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): hah
[12:54] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): I've seen people with a few THOUSAND
[12:54] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): are we competing for most scripts now?
[12:55] iiriyuu Whybrow: I think only a few of my giant/furry animals have more than 200
[12:55] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): and when you call them on it they tell you to mind your business
[12:55] Azhran Zapedzki: Yes, just go to a fishing contest.
[12:55] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): though not so nicely
[12:55] iiriyuu Whybrow: Yes
[12:55] iiriyuu Whybrow winks
[12:55] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): but that's neither here nor there..
[12:55] Gratia (dretta.swords): wb Syb
[12:55] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): So - questions regarding Precious Breedables?
[12:55] Sybria Wolfhaven (sybria.young): ty
[12:56] Gratia (dretta.swords): can we get platypi?
[12:56] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): Yes - how do the hippos look in-world?
[12:56] iiriyuu Whybrow: I'd like a gerenuk
[12:56] Gratia (dretta.swords): ohh they look great Lir
[12:56] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): iiri... lol
[12:56] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): I'll add platyypi to the 'possibles' list dretta but I make no promises.
[12:56] Gratia (dretta.swords): grins
[12:56] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Lirael - I'm not sure I understand the question?
[12:56] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): How do they 'look' ?
[12:57] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): size, how they move, how they breed, do they have eggs, etc
[12:57] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): There's 3 of them sitting outside the conference room.
[12:57] Gratia (dretta.swords): they do not have eggs t hey are live birth hun
[12:57] Gratia (dretta.swords): they l;ook great
[12:57] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): And if you want to see how they move you can see them in action down in the hippo store.
[12:57] LS (ladystar.jewel): they look awesome
[12:58] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): ty all :)
[12:58] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Other questions?
[12:58] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): nobody?
[12:58] Azhran Zapedzki: One about dragons
[12:58] iiriyuu Whybrow: I have lots of questions
[12:58] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): ok
[12:58] Gratia (dretta.swords): wolves coming soon .. hippos out and in open beta and all of us trying to give Wolfie a headache with new ideas .. nope that it for me
[12:58] iiriyuu Whybrow: None pertinent
[12:59] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): lol iiri
[12:59] Joe Magnus (joe5.requiem): XD
[12:59] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): iiri to your unasked question I say this.... "42"
[12:59] iiriyuu Whybrow: MY LIFE IS COMPLETE
[12:59] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): My other question had been answered previously, during PB's talk
[12:59] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): LOL!
[12:59] iiriyuu Whybrow: I HAVE ALL THE ANSWER
[13:00] Gratia (dretta.swords): ok Wolfie that laugh gives me the creeps
[13:00] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): dretta
[13:00] Azhran Zapedzki: Will original spikebacks still be able to produce crystalback or ridgeback offspring?
[13:00] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): thats my RL laugh
[13:00] Gratia (dretta.swords): makes me think you are plotting
[13:00] Sparkles Darkfire: whens the madness boardgonna be filleds ?
[13:00] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): yes azhran
[13:00] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): that reminds me
[13:00] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): can a dragon be both a short horn and a crystal back?
[13:00] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): that IS possible Lirael - but nobody has unlocked that yet.
[13:01] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): cool
[13:01] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Short Horns can also be ridgeback
[13:01] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): Now MY life is complete, iiri :P
[13:01] iiriyuu Whybrow: Achievement unlocked - hot pocket love
[13:01] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): lol
[13:01] Azhran Zapedzki: Ok, was not sure about it since I have been offline for a long time.
[13:01] Azhran Zapedzki: haha, Sparkles
[13:02] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): Ok folks - if there are no other questions - we're gonna close with this.
[13:02] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): kk
[13:02] iiriyuu Whybrow: Everyone, recite the pledge
[13:02] Sparkles Darkfire: wheres me answer
[13:02] Azhran Zapedzki: This will be posted on the blog, yes?
[13:02] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): COMING SOON™ from PRECIOUS BREEDABLES: BATTLE BREEDS! Look to the website for more information on this in the near future!
[13:03] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): and yes - the transcript will make its awy onto the blog soon
[13:03] Azhran Zapedzki: Oh, I read about that!
[13:03] Azhran Zapedzki: It's your creation?
[13:03] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): There is some other form of 'battle' pet in SL
[13:03] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): but its not called Battle Breeds
[13:03] iiriyuu Whybrow: Battle breeds! Whatch your babies bash themselves to bits!
[13:03] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): we've had the name registered for some time.
[13:03] Sparkles Darkfire: me askeds a question and gots ignored
[13:03] iiriyuu Whybrow: *watch
[13:03] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): how about making the dragons compete?
[13:03] Azhran Zapedzki: Hmm, I read something in Breeder Blend Issue.
[13:04] Gratia (dretta.swords): Mystical is prolly getting more coffee
[13:04] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): No actually I snuck off to the necessary.
[13:04] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): what was the question?
[13:04] Sparkles Darkfire: [13:00] Sparkles Darkfire: whens the madness boardgonna be filleds ?
[13:04] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): which one?
[13:04] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): and mine was if the dragons will ever compete?
[13:05] Sparkles Darkfire: dragons
[13:05] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): I gotta go raid traven's egg table.
[13:05] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): hey!
[13:05] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): haha
[13:05] LS (ladystar.jewel): lol
[13:05] iiriyuu Whybrow: Deviled eggs?
[13:05] iiriyuu Whybrow: Mmmmmmm delicious
[13:05] Azhran Zapedzki smiles
[13:05] Gratia (dretta.swords): now now Wolfie isnt the devil
[13:05] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): and no lirael dragons (i.e. precious dragons) will never become a battle breed as such
[13:05] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): aww
[13:05] Sparkles Darkfire: ands will the trade meter number get reduced in future as alot of big breeders have left sl
[13:06] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): assuming we continue running the trade meter as it -is- that is possible sparkles.
[13:07] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): ah found it the other battle pet is called "Battle Beast"
[13:07] Azhran Zapedzki: Ah, the ones I read about are the BattleBeast Breedables, looked it up.
[13:07] Azhran Zapedzki: lol
[13:07] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): and as I recall from the Christmas Expo where they showed it - was quite Primmy and high script and looked like a cheap knockoff of our dragons.
[13:07] iiriyuu Whybrow: I have sudden visions of two water buffalo locking horns
[13:07] Azhran Zapedzki: Posted at the same time.
[13:07] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs): any other questions?
[13:08] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): going once...
[13:08] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): going twice...
[13:08] Traven Wolfhaven (traven.sachs) smirks
[13:08] iiriyuu Whybrow: Sold! To the lady in the green frock coat!
[13:08] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Ok... meeting adjourned!
[13:08] Lirael Ferenczy (dragonessti): lol iiri
[13:08] Gratia (dretta.swords): yeah
[13:08] Gratia (dretta.swords): Pounces all 3 of t he head guys at the t able
[13:08] Precious Breedables (mystical.inventor): Thank you all for coming we'll get the transcript out shortly.
