ORIGINAL POST 8.17.18:

Bloodlines is having an avatar photo contest! We’ll have a category for each race (including all the hybrids) so there are lots of opportunities to win. These photos will be featured in the banner on our website for each race’s home page!

The contest is free to enter, and you may enter as many times as you like (as long as each photo is different).

How to Enter
1) Take a photo of an avatar (can be yourself or another) of a specific Bloodlines Race. Final dimensions need to be our Website Banner size, so at least 1200 x 300, max 2400 x 600. If you wish, you can submit a photo that is square (1200×1200 min) but make sure that there is a croppable strip appropriate for a banner.
2) Either put the texture in a notecard, along with your name, title of the photo, and the race represented and pass it to LiquidDesigns Resident

– OR –

Submit the photo via the Bloodlines Flickr Photo Contest page. Please name your entry with your avatar and the race represented, or it may not be counted in competition. We recommend using Flickr as your photo won’t suffer SL compression, but it’s up to you. Either way, you may want to periodically check the Flickr page to see what your competitors have been submitting!

Contest Rules
Time: The contest will end on August 31st, 2018.

Judging: Entries will be judged by Mars Bracken, Lyle Maeterlinck and LiquidDesigns Resident

Criteria: Entries will be judged based on the overall image, but some things to consider might be setting/location, lighting, and mood. Photoshopping is of course acceptable. Bloodlines also reserves the right to do slight photoshopping to winners (if necessary) in order to format them for the final banners.

Prizes
– Top Runners Up (number TBD) in each race category will receive Photo Silver texture for one type of container
– 1st Place Winner in each race category will receive Photo Gold texture for one type of container as well as become the banner for the homepage of that race

We’re looking forward to checking out all the entries and picking the best ones for our site. Good luck!

The 3 new sets of Gacha textures are in the machines as of today!

The machines are still rezzed on each of our sims, so if one set is busy you can try another location:

Bloodlines Midland Gacha Machines

Bloodlines North Gacha Machines

Bloodlines South Gacha Machines

Bloodlines East Gacha Machines

Bloodlines West Gacha Machines

These 3 sets will be out for about a month and then we’ll pull them back.

If you’d like to read our original Rare / Gacha release post with further details, it’s here.

UPDATE / REMINDER 7.6.18: 

Angel and Demon attacks (both on their respective HUDs and this new Fury HUD) do not yet count towards achievements (Embracer, Enrager, etc.). We do plan on integrating these HUDs and attacks into achievements (as well as creating new specific achievements for Angels and Demons) but for the time being be aware that they do not generally count. An exception is the Determined achievement, which will tally with the new HUDs.

ORIGINAL POST:

We’re happy to announce that we’re updating the Fury HUD to version 1.4 today. The HUD will now be useful for any combination of 2 Bloodlines races (excluding Humans). You can set the race combination in the settings menu, and as long as you have the HUDs / Nexus objects for the appropriate races, the functions should all work great.

We’ll be sending out an auto-update for anyone who currently owns the Fury HUD.

Thanks for everyone bearing with us during this time of great change! We’ll have more updates to announce soon.

In the process of getting ready for our big Human HUD update coming next month, we’ve updated our Human store on Bloodlines Midland! All the vendors should be working, but if you see any out-of-place prims do let us know.

We’ll have more updates about the Human HUD update coming soon!
