🎃 KINK OR TREAT HUNT DESIGNER INFO🍬
→ Please read this entire section thoroughly! Most questions can be answered here. Don’t hesitate to contact with questions.
→ Join us on our Discord server! Let us know you are a hunt creator and we’ll give you the appropriate tag and channel. We are there throughout the day to answer questions, help, inspire, and more on our ATCSL server.
→ Please rez your ATCSL Hunts Info Chalkboard Kiosk (included in designer kit) in your main store as soon as you receive your kit. *THIS IS NOW A PERMANENT FIXTURE*- you can now keep this poster up year round to advertise for upcoming and current hunts. We’ll update it remotely so you don’t have to :D
→ You must be in the A Town Called Short Leash group to rez items, if you aren’t already :D the payment station will personally invite you to the land group with the correct tag (or correct existing tag), fee-free of course! Otherwise please contact яαєηвσω ‘ѕкιттℓєѕ’ ωιℓℓσω (little.salty) for help with this.
→ Minimum 3 items, one of which must be an exclusive item for the hunt (no limit on # of items you’d like to make- the more, the better! The more you make, the better your sales and this is proven in past hunts. The general average is 5 items). When making multiple hunt items, recolors are okay, we ask that *at least* 1 item be an exclusive to the hunt.
→ Original mesh is preferred but template is okay too. Please be original with your works! :D
→ Hunt items need to be Halloween/kinky/autumn/cute/pet play/BDSM/sexy/adult related. Just remember – ITEMS MUST MEET SL TOS STANDARDS FOR CONTENT! If you are unsure, please ask!
→ You are welcome to make adult and/or G-PG rated items, just remember the hunt is hosted on an adult sim.
→ Clothing, accessories, furniture, decor, and jewelry items are welcome! :D
Wanna make something not in this list? Just ask!
→ Male & unisex items encouraged! **WANNA HAVE MORE SALES? ADD SOME MEN’S ITEMS – MALE CUSTOMERS ASK ALL THE TIME!**
→ NO KID STORES/ITEMS! While your items do not have to *be* adult in nature, lots of stores in the hunt are adult and ATCSL is an adult sim.Your items can definitely be cute but appropriate. IF IN DOUBT ask яαєηвσω ‘ѕкιттℓєѕ’ ωιℓℓσω (little.salty)
→ Items must be either COPY/NO TRANS or NO COPY/TRANS and *must* be stated as such on your key/ad. No selling demos, no deceptive permissions on scripts to make items appear to have permissions other than what is stated. In other words, items need to have regular product permissions or those used on gacha. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT and speaks to the integrity of the event and your brand, as well as keeps customers happy.
→ NO politically charged themes or content please
→ NO INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT! Absolutely NO breaking of SL TOS regarding appropriate content, IP infringement including RL brand logos/names/illegally obtained and uploaded meshes, etc will be tolerated (if in doubt, check here: https://www.lindenlab.com/tos). IF STILL IN DOUBT ask яαєηвσω ‘ѕкιттℓєѕ’ ωιℓℓσω (little.salty)
→ Copyright infringements will be not tolerated nor will violations in regard to Linden Lab TOS.
→ ATCSL Hunt Owners & Management reserve the right to deny entry to any items in the the hunt that do not meet hunt expectations in quality and/or content.
🎃 KINK OR TREAT HUNT SET UP HOW-TO & REQUIREMENTS🍬
→ Designers must create a hunt key with their exclusive item(s) marked.
Take the time to make a nice ad/hunt key for your items. Clearly shown items that correspond to your hunt item box # (i.e. slave collar #4 is in box #4 and shown as #4 on the ad/key). These will be updated on the website as well as included in the Hunt Key kiosks on sim. People love nice ads/photos!
Here’s an example, naturally it doesn’t have to be like this:
→ PLEASE MARK YOUR EXCLUSIVE on your key with the downloadable enclosed texture (sent in your designer kit).
→ ALSO INCLUDED in the kit are hunt logo textures & template that you are welcome (but not required) to use. ♥
→ All items 10L-25L (no less, no more) and located within designated prims (in designer kit) set out by you the designer (price is up to YOU, it is recommended that simpler prizes stay 10L and more complex items offered at 25L if you’d like).
→ IMPORTANT– you will receive a NC called “Kink or Treat Hunt 2022 DESIGNER HUNT PRIMS” which will contain store-specific colored candies that you will use to place your hunt items in. These are the hunt prims. Simply click on the object to copy it to your inventory. PLEASE NAME YOUR HUNT PRIMS AS FOLLOWS: ATCSL KoT {YOUR STORE NAME #} as you set them out to correspond correctly with your hunt key/ad. So for Short Leash it would be ATCSL KoT {Short Leash #1}.
THESE WILL BE SENT SEPARATELY ON THE DAY SET UP OPENS, SEPTEMBER 25th!
→ *ALL* PARTS OF THE SIM ARE PUBLIC so short of someone’s private cabin (in the wooded area), you can place your items ANYWHERE on sim :D the hiding opportunities are endless! Start your set up here!
→ DO NOT PLACE HUNT ITEMS NEXT TO THE LANDING! There’s a big ol sim to scatter items around- items found directly at the landing will be returned and you will need to replace them and redo your hints. In other words, just don’t do it.
→ DO NOT PLACE ITEMS CLOSE TO OTHER DESIGNER’S ALREADY PLACED ITEMS! Again, big ol sim – spread it out! Make em work for the hunt. ;D
→ DO NOT PLACE HUNT ITEMS IN HARD TO CLICK SPOTS like grass prims, impossible to reach bushes, etc. Don’t make it hard for shoppers to actually purchase the item!
→ HIDE ITEMS WELL – this should be somewhat of a challenge! Prims not hidden properly will be returned and you will be asked to rehide your items again and resubmit your hints *again*.
→ NO FLOATING HUNT PRIMS!
→ DO NOT PLACE ITEMS CLOSE TO OTHER DESIGNER’S ALREADY PLACED ITEMS! Again, big ol sim – spread it out! Make em work for the hunt. ;D
→ KEEP IT REASONABLE – Giant prims will be returned. Keep the candies a reasonable size in order for hunters to find them and keep the hunt fun (and not discouraging or too easy). If it’s too obvious, too close to others, or sitting at the landing, we will return the prim.
→ Designers keep all profit.
→ Designers are asked to use event vendor scripts (such as Caspervend’s event script) if possible. Due to the large number of designers and items in this hunt, traffic, and to help keep sim as lag free as possible for hunters (it is SL after all), designers will be asked to use Event Vendor Scripts or direct pay (making item for sale).
→ Please submit your hunt hints (link above!) no later than FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH. We will post them online for hunters. *THIS MUST BE ON TIME* Hunters often depend on this info and expect in on the website and in hint kiosks.
→ Hunt hint submissions will require you to indicate WHAT item you have in EACH hunt prim (just like your key should indicate what item matches what hint). BE SURE to make note of this when making your hunt keys & placing your hunt prims out on sim for purchase. ANY HUNT PRIMS WITH HINTS NOT INDICATING WHAT THE ITEM IS WILL BE RETURNED. This is VERY IMPORTANT due to changes in Linden Labs rules on gacha & chance games. PLEASE do your due diligence and help make hunt set up run smoothly!
→ We have a designated spot on sim solely for hunts! :D This space will be set up with a spot for each designer with their hunt keys and store LM/info. Designers will be able to place demos in this designated area (highly requested from shoppers). IF YOU’D LIKE TO INCLUDE A DEMO- TP to the hunt area, find your store’s space, and drop off demos in the boxes provided (included in the kit). This is completely optional and the space will be ready to go on SEPTEMBER 25th.
→ Shoppers love to shop as they hunt around the sim! We have a limited number of satellite store rentals available at ATCSL for rent. Renting is an excellent way to create traffic for your brand by using your hunt hints to lead people through your satellite shop. Interested in a satellite store? We can help with that. Please message яαєηвσω ‘ѕкιттℓєѕ’ ωιℓℓσω (little.salty)
→ Pleaseeee let your groups know about the hunt as we get closer! Media/PR information, info kiosks/posters, and more will be sent out in the designer kit.
→ We partner with Seraphim, TeleportHub, GridAffairs, Second Life Syndicate, and other media outlets for advertisement and coverage of the event ♥ IT IS IMPERATIVE YOU ARE SET UP ON TIME!
