About the Lion and futur upgrades
13 years ago
Hi everyone!
I wanted to write you that I wont be able to make the Lion upgrade ( and future Avatar upgrades ) free for tho who bought an old version.
I'm really sorry and I know it will disappoint a lot of you and I assume some will think it's unfair.
Please understand that making avatars for Second Life is a really long process and requires a lot of work. The only thing I kept from the old lion is the prims for the tail, not even the texture. That must be like 1% of the whole avatar so it's hard to consider that like an "update" really. I'm fine with giving bug fixes updates for free, it's just normal, but when it's a whole new AV, I'm sorry I can't.
Sadly just like everyone else I need money to pay rent and food.
Feel free to bash me in comments ^^'

Personally, I'm fine with it, you put all this effort in your AV's and provide great quality AV's under 1K L$, I very much think that you have the right to say that this wont be a free update for all the work you have put into it.
That is not to say I dont understand. Please, believe that I do. I do a lot of modding, and I know how very difficult and long that can take, I cant imagine the hours that go into the sculpting/meshing that goes into creating n avatar. And again, I dont know if you have ever listed any of your products with such a promise, as I haven't really looked closely at it. But those who break on such promises given, loose a great deal of respect in my eyes. Not to mention, that you -could- be legally held to it if someone was angry enough to file against you. But it will make me, and others, hesitate before we purchase. That's a big promise to break to those of us who dont have money to spend every time our avatar is updated to current design standards. It's just something to keep in mind.
If they havent made promise to give updates on the old versions, then I fully and wholeheartedly support her in her choice not to make update's free. Its when the promise has been given and is then revoked that I find to be a touch unfair and underhanded.
Either way, I'll pay for the new one. And I understand the whole "totally new avatar" thing... I was so tempted to charge people for the dragon when I did them, but everyone kept buying them without me needing to pass it, so... yeah. xD
Oh and speaking of avatars furry or scalie or otherwise, I wonder... Do you plan on releasing any fantasy avatars later on like dragon or unicorn or something?
