HANZO BLADES - 08-08-2008

I have run into a very inconvenient situation last night. All the actual versions of the Hanzo swords were banned in CCS. As I understand it might be pressing affair for some, let me explain.

We were using the 2.0 CCS API provided to us by the CCS developers in all our blades. It turned out that the armor damage enhancing feature we were using wasn't behaving according to the documentation - even though we were assured we can use it without a problem. We found out just a couple of days ago and were working on a new release to solve this issue. Tonight I was contacted, told that our swords are unbalanced and causing trouble to the CCS RP and after a short discussion between Kahiro and one of the CCS people I was announced that all our blades using the 2.0 api were banned instantly.

You can imagine what came next. Frankly, I wasn't aware that our swords were that popular at all. It's pretty pleasing, on the other hand, I've never seen IM's from different ppl coming in 20second intervals for a couple of hours, until today that is :) Not having slept much, we were working on a solution to the situation. Which is as follows:

1. We're discontinuing our support for CCS. All our new blades will come just LL damage enabled, or (if we consider it fit) will use and be tuned for another combat system.

2. The existent CCS swords have been updated to 1.7 version. It's without any enhacements, just a plain CCS meelee stick. The updates are available for free in the mainstore (you get just the updated CCS blade, the other parts are working allright). At least this will allow the users that bought the swords mainly for the CCS usage to continue using them within CCS.

3. We've brutally cut our prices on existent weapons and are preparing for some new releases. Check yourself - 200-350 on combat versions and 100-150 on the decors... where else would you get something like this?

You can belive me I'm as disappointed as you are with the situation, and I can assure you we will keep up the work we've been doing so far. Peace on Earth!

I wasn't really sure where to announce this release... It's meant as an urban gear for the rough streets of roleplay sims, but technically it's an armor, and i guess it fit's more on this website.

Announcing the first of the line to come - The Tomcat shoulder armor. This is the next level of my work. It's fully sculpted and textured the way I like it. Fits the new DL line of "winged" stuff, consists of two pieces to be worn on shoulder and upper arm. I'll be sure to come back to this design and produce a variation or two beacuse I really feel kinda charmed by the looks of it myself :) Sold on SLX of course.

I'm proudly announcing that most of the works have been finished and we're now open for public. Not only is there a new sim, but we've worked hard on our product line. The swords are a new 1.5 version - much more CCS convenient and finetuned code. You'll love it. Not enough, we got the Ice Lotus out as well. All in the new place, see you there :) SLURL on the right updated.

Ok, it's been some time since the last update here. Guess I should explain a bit - it's not that I was doing nothing :) I'm posting some screenshots of what's coming - I won't tell more, I think the shots speak for themselves. Give it a week or two and it's here. And guess where will all the new blades be? :) Ice lotus is officially ready by the way, waiting with the release for the new space.
Just made my dream come true, I'm going to finetune it in the process of opening, so you'll probably see me quite often around. Looking forward to meeting you soon :)
