Sinespace Pick of the Day: Castello

Please note that I am taking a vacation from the blog for the next two to three weeks, except for sponsored blogposts (and the occasional cranky book review).


Today’s Sinespace Pick of the Day was submitted by Hellen Ell, of the medieval banquet hall at Castello, created by Mareta Dagostino (here’s the Explore page).

Hellen wins 500 Gold (Sinespace’s in-game currency). You can win some money, too!

Here are The Sinespace Pick of the Day photo contest rules:

  1. Pictures must have been taken by you, of a region within Sinespace. It must be a picture primarily of a region, not an avatar (although you can certainly include avatars in your picture). You may submit a picture of your own region, or of a region created by somebody else.
  2. All pictures must be of high quality, and high resolution, but no larger than 2.1 MB in size (otherwise, they will have to be resized to fit on the official Sinespace blog, and then they will then have to be reduced in quality).
  3. IMPORTANT: You must email 1) the picture to ryanschultz [at] gmail [dot] com, along with 2) your avatar name (for the photo credit), and 3) the name of the region where you took the picture. If you do not include all three items in your email, your entry will not be considered for the contest.
  4. Creative use of the built-in Snapshot tool in the Sinespace client is encouraged! Here are a few examples to give you an idea of what you can do

If I select and run your submitted picture (on the RyanSchultz.com blog and/or the official Sinespace blog), you win a prize of 500 Gold to spend as you please on the Sinespace Shop!

So let’s get creative, and showcase some of the beautiful worlds in Sinespace!

Sinespace Creator Spotlight: Some of the Latest in Male Fashions from the Sinespace Shop

Following up on a recent blogpost of the latest fashions for female avatars from the Sinespace Shop, I thought it was time we looked at what was new in the store for male avatars.

Our first look is for LGBTQ Pride! The Prideful tank top by Pretty Deceased comes in two versions, one black and one white, for only 1 Silver each! These absolutely fabulous, tintable, resizable wings are the Angel Wings (male) by wolfgraphics, and are for sale for either 10 Gold or 1,000 Silver in the Sinespace Shop!

The second outfit is a retro aviator look from Daz Originals. The Retro Aviator boots, Retro Aviator pants, and the wonderfully-detailed Retro Aviator jacket are 159 Gold each:

Our final, casual, contemporary look consists of the Loose Tee (male) by BlakOpal Designs (which comes in 10 colours for only 49 Gold each, or the complete bundle of 10 for 346 Gold), the Jaleano ripped blue jeans from ELL (99 Gold), and the HG Atlas Hope sneakers by Virtual Dispensary (200 Gold):

The detail on the red, white and blue Atlas high-top sneakers is amazing!

Happy shopping!

Reminder: The Sinespace Pick of the Day Photo Contest Is Still Going On! You Can Win 500 Gold for Your Picture of Sinespace

For some strange reason, I have had absolutely ZERO response so far to my photo contest, so I am repeating my original message.

Here are The Sinespace Pick of the Day photo contest rules:

  1. Pictures must have been taken by you, of a region within Sinespace. It must be a picture primarily of a region, not an avatar (although you can certainly include avatars in your picture). You may submit a picture of your own region, or of a region created by somebody else.

Join Us for the Geek Weekly Event at Localhost Connection in Sinespace Every Monday Morning, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. PST!

The stunning new Localhost Connection Café and Hangout (which I blogged about previously) is hosting its first regular event!

One of the proprietors, ArtemisBane, tells me:

Geek Weekly is every Monday from 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. PST, upstairs in the Localhost Connection coffeeshop. It’s a loosely structured format with geek culture news, ice breakers, geek themed trivia, and then open social discussions. In the future, we’re planning on a street party in the cyberpunk streets with dueling DJs and B-boy dance battles, but we’ll post that in events and in Discord when it’s set up.

ArtemisBane and Carsten Stark have striven to create an environment that is
cyberpunk and sci-fi, but also cozy, warm and inviting.
The Localhost Connection

If you’re new to Sinespace but want to attend this event, you’ll need to download and install the Sinespace client on your computer (there are Windows, Macintosh, and Linux clients). Here are some step-by-step instructions on how to get started in Sinespace. If you already have the Sinespace client installed, just click on the Explore button and do a keyword search for “localhost”.

See you at the Localhost Connection next Monday! I am quite looking forward to this.
