The OSFest 2022 website has been updated with new images from participants, HG addresses to all public regions, event lineups for all three filled weekends, sponsor ads, and sponsor links. We've added download, heart, and social share icons for the images. You can see the website here: https://www.opensimfest.com/

Kudos to the great OSFest team!

We open in two days! Construction on the grid is happening at a fast pace. Late entries for free parcels and sponsors are welcome!

You can always tell a country girl who grew up on a farm. Look at this beautiful lush tomato plant and those delicious looking tomatoes! Oh I'll have to make spaghetti sauce and homemade ketchup and tomato soup and the list goes on! So much work to do on the farm. But I'm not selfish, nope! These tomato plants are available at our Welcome Center at Grid Our Dawn! They're free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy having them and decorating with them as much I did making them. You can find these beauties at -- grid.our-dawn.com:8002:Welcome -- come and get 'em before the birds eat 'em all! And while you're there, mosey on into the Bifrost and come check out Crystal Farm, that's my house and farm and take a relaxing stroll around. God Bless!

OpensimFest is less than two weeks away, and there's still a chance for you to be part of the fun!
Greeters organizer Snoots Dragon has a message for you
"TO EVERYONE: We are greatly in need of Greeters. This is an easy task and a great way to make new friends. We have a Greeters Guide notecard with quick-to-read information on being a Greeter. The job is easy: spend however much spare time you may have available at Central to help people if they have questions about the Festival. No schedule required; this is totally volunteer time. Please contact SNOOTS DWAGON either on Discord or by IM in-grid. Greeting is a fun and relaxing way to spend time at the Festival... and we could use your help. This is all in the promotion of science, and at the end of the Festival, there will be cake. Thanks!"

I have made a throne that you can sit on, out of prims, so it won't disappear when you walk away. I think it's sort of elven. I have also made a scroll as a region teleporter for my grid. You have to edit it yourself, but You can put your different regions on the scroll, and when guests click the name they are teleported to that region instantly, as long as it is in the same grid.

New Region now Open at Phantom Rose Grid: Akrotiri! This is the starting region for all of Phantom Rose Mer Nation. The beacon lands you underwater and by using the Mer Portal system, you will never need to be out of water while visiting the 7 other Mer areas on Phantom Rose. Each area has a unique gift. In all you can collect 3 sets of free Fins for mermaids and tritons, 2 coral reefs, and 3 rideables ( Shark, Swordfish and Dolphin)! The new Medieval area also has Seahorse Chariot racing. 6 colors. Get the full description from my blog https://lannorrasion.wordpress.com/2022/05/26/phantom-rose...

I have been finding beautiful necklaces at Sketchfab! Whenever I find one that I think you will enjoy I will add to my collection! I will add the note indicating such so that you can determine which is Sketchfab! continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

It has been a while since I created a wedding set. Since it is May it has me thinking of weddings and flowers and thought it would be nice to create a pretty wedding set for this summer. Feuille Wedding Set has a wedding ring, engagement ring, and the pair linked. This has a resize script so you can get the correct size. You will find it in the Wedding section of the Monentes Jewelry Store. continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Just wanted to put a quick note of clarification for the group and visitors. I have received a few messages of people claiming to be STAFF of Amoa. This is the fact:
Glenn Xpletive and Robin Sission are the ONLY Staff members.
However The grid owners of Barefoot-dreamers Grid, can be contacted in the event of their absence. NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER BE STAFF. Glenn built the beach, terraforming, trees, waves, islands. Robin Sisson has made it the beautiful region it is. So please give a warm thank you to Robin for all of her decorating and amenities that have made Amoa such a great place.

If anyone else tries to claim they are staff, or if you need assistance, please contact Glenn, Robin, Huga or Gabe.

I was just asked how did I create glasses, this is a video I did while back https://youtu.be/iVPiH4ptMlw basically I use silhouettes then extract the curves, then extrude. This is using Rhino Software but it is the same in Blender, you would extract curves from an image then extrude them. Thank you for your interest!

The Subtle And The Not So Subtle
The fat pack for these jeans includes this pair with a very subtle and very lovely floral pattern. The off-shoulder sweater? Not so subtle. You get fat packs of all but one of the outfit items. And still unique as far as I know, you get a pre-set body alpha HUD.

oh HELLO: Outfits with Options.

The Secrets of DragonFyre:
DragonFyre castle has many many secrets, and since some people are not aware of all the secrets I thought I would share them here. Dragonfyre has many secret passages.
1) Behind the red couch between the deer heads in the entrance to the castle. Click the wall to find a set of stairs. Go down the stairs and follow the path to a trap door. Open this trap door, and follow the path to another trap door. Open the second trap door, and go down the stairs to the hidden wine cellar. In the corner of the wine cellar is a wine registry bookcase. Click the bookcase and a secret staircase appears. Go down the secret staircase to an iron door. Open the iron door and go down the hall to another bookcase on the right. Click this bookcase and it opens into the chef's office.

2) Behind the chef's office is the chef's bedroom. If you go into the chef's bedroom and click the wall paneling to the right, a hidden room is revealed full of magic.
3) In the rust room the bookcase leads to a small hidden room.
4) if you open the dungeon door just off the kitchen, click the floor to reveal a staircase which leads down to the dungeon. In the huge castle dungeon, there is a vampires room encased in stone.

The Secrets of DragonFyre: There are 2 caves on dragonfyre sim. One is hidden very well in the woods and has luminous blue water running down the sides. The other cave is a large cave beneath the 2nd bridge that you can reach by boat. There is a sign that rezzes boats in the lake.
Once you go into this cave under the bridge you find a dragon and a gold treasure. Just past the treasure, you will see a white dragon egg nestled in the rocks. Click the egg and a saddle appears. Sit on the saddle and a dragon npc rezzes. You may also let a friend ride the dragon with you. However it is not easy to fly dragons out of the cave. pgUp key and pgDown key control the inclination of the dragon, and arrow keys control the direction you travel. If you fly the dragon out of the cave and over the pond and fly up through the trees you can soar into the air with the other dragons flying around the castle.
There is a hidden church on the land not far from the tiny gazebo.

Mysteriously... The gate which worked fine last night, didn't work today. Also I found that all the prims and scripts had been changed. (Someone is either a super hacker or a voodoo witch doctor, and im not sure which...) Anyway after being visited by the jealous talentless people once again... I've repaired it to full working order. We will call this version 5. So... here we go...
New! Amazing! Pegasus stargate that actually rotates and dials other sims and grids!!! PLUS this one has a working DHD, the dialer device in front of the gate in the photo that talks to the gate and actually will dial the place for you!!!

I share the sentiment towards the people of Ukraine, I also became sad with the people of Iraq, or Libya, Yemen, Somalia or Pakistan. But I didn't see flags of those countries when the U.S. invaded them. It is curious to see how it is OCCUPATION when the US invades a country, but when another world power occupies a country it is called INVASION. We should put politics aside and think only about the suffering of those countries that are illegally occupied by others.

Flying the Ukrainian flag on the Brand New 100 Sim Fun Region.
Also standing with you at this terrible time.

I will be posting more about the new Completely modified Adventure Bay region
which includes FemDom City. Stay tuned. More to come.
