Dev Blog #63 Cave House Sale! Plus Celebrating, Sun Bathing and Bug Squishing

Hello I'm back, with more juicy news!!

Cave House Sale!

This weekend only the Cave House private space will be available for HALF PRICE!

Cave House is a modern minimalist space with two floors, an infinity pool and a secret cave below! There is a wide variety of chic furniture available to purchase so that you can decorate your space, and Cave House also boasts many interactions; how about taking a bath, working in the hidden kitchen or changing the sky from day to night?

Hang out on the balcony listening to the seagulls and watching the waves crash against the rocks; or take a dip in the exhilarating infinity pool. Step right in and feel like there is nothing between you and the vast expanse of the ocean. It's the perfect place to become one with nature.

Then take your friends down in the glass lift to explore the dark caverns beneath. Light a fire and tell spooky stories to each other. Are you brave enough to turn off the lights?

The Cave House sale runs from 9am Saturday 1st July until 9am Monday 3rd July (UK time), so grab it while you can at this amazing price!

Beautiful Aurora

We hope you are having an amazing time exploring Aurora, collecting orbs and completing challenges. It's great to see you there having fun and making new friends. We are so happy that we could finally release Aurora for everyone, and we want to thank all those who bought Aurora Private Islands, your contribution helped make this happen and YOU ARE AWESOME!

You might have noticed we added a couple of extra decorative touches to Aurora Private Islands; and we will be adding more in the future, so it will not be forgotten. Don't forget to boogie away on the special dance floor that was part of the Aurora Private Islands pack. If you haven't found the secret spot away from Aurora Private Islands where you can place it and show it off to everyone; then here's a clue...it's somewhere hot!

New Patch - Version 0.7.1.4150

Unfortunately our latest patch had a few issues that we wanted to sort out straight away. May I present to you version 0.7.1.4150, coming your way on Friday 30th June!

As well as the bug fixes, we have lots of new items available from midnight tonight (29th June/UK time), so make sure you pop into the Avatar tabs to check them out!

Let's Celebrate!

With Canada Day and Independence Day just around the corner we wanted to help you mark the occasion. Pick up one of our Canada Day hats or t-shirts for the 1st July, or an Independence Day hat or t-shirt for the 4th July to celebrate.

Hit the Beach

We are feeling the heat here in the UK right now, so it's perfect timing for us to release some awesome new summer items. Your avatar will love showing off their beach bod in these. Plus it's always glorious weather in AU, notice how we haven't got any umbrellas? ;)

We have shorts!!! Woohoo!!!
Subscribers will find the shorts and swimshorts for Adam, and hot pants and a new patterned sports bikini for Eve.

For relaxing by the bar after a day of sunbathing we have a tropical Hawaiian shirt for Adam, and Eve has a new patterned pleated skirt, perfect if you want more of an alternative look.

We also have a gorgeous bow headband which is so super cute. With the Wimbledon Tennis Championships starting soon, we thought you might like to show you have tennis on the brain with our wacky tennis-ball head!

Subscribers will also have access to 7 new poses. Eve will show us how to work it with Fashion 1,2,3 and 4 poses, while Adam brings out his tough side with Gangsta poses - hand on heart, fist and open hands.

Can You Hear Voices..?

If you haven't tried it out already, don't forget that you can now use voice chat in the game. At the moment it is available in private spaces only, and it is still in the early stages of development so we want to know what you think.

If you open chat in a private space and have a headset/mic plugged in you will be able to hear other players and talk to them. We know this means you can't walk and talk right now with this version, this is something we would want to improve in the future.
It's just a test version at the moment so we know it's not perfect yet! Head on over to our forum here to read more and give us your feedback.

Have fun with the new items, enjoy Cave House, and see you on the dancefloor!
