Get your rocks off as you watch your Pet Rock sit there and do very little. But its inactivity is somewhat deceptive – it is actually growing (albeit slowly), at a rock’s pace!

The Breedable Pet Rock will grow from a tiny pebble of only 0.100 meters to a whopping boulder-sized 10 meters in six exciting weeks!

You can breed it with other Breedable Pet Rocks, but since they all look alike, why bother? It will gladly breed with any minerals found in the soil or any surface it is sitting on, so you should have a baby (pebble) Pet Rock in no time! A Breedable Pet Rock’s gestation time is approximately 3 weeks, so watch carefully for any new additions to the family!

To maintain a healthy Pet Rock, it is recommended that you snuggle with it daily, and talk to it often. Your Pet Rock comes with a free 10 chunk package of Generic Brand Breedable Pet Rock Food™ – it’s the stuff Pet Rocks love to eat! Feed it and snuggle often for a healthy, happy pet.

At first, your pet rock won’t do much. After a day or two, it will begin talking to you. Floating text above your rock will eventually inform you of what it is thinking and feeling, its health and hunger levels, and other valuable information. Pay attention to this information, as it will bring you closer to understanding its interests, its likes and dislikes, things you have in common, and in no time at all, it will become a dear, lifelong friend.

Well, …not exactly lifelong. Due to a genetic deviation when cloning Breedable Pet Rocks, scientists have determined that they only have a life span of approximately 6 weeks. As a rock reaches old age, its atomic structure begins to deteriorate, it becomes somewhat grumpy, and eventually will disappear into a cloud of marginally harmless dust. But by that time, it will have lived long enough to have at least one grandchild, so its got that going for it.

We know you will enjoy your new pet rock, and hope this rock and its offspring will bring you years of companionship, friendship and daily snuggles. You can find more novelties like this, weather devices, landscaping and building tools, gadgets and gizmos at WaterMoon Breeze (61, 59, 23)

A virtual home office to organize your desktop. I apologize for the gaudy floral wallpaper design. It’s from a longtime favorite Unreal Tournament map “Bathroom” which is indisputably the grandfather of the “me-small” maps genre. I couldn’t resist using it for this attempt at a desktop background.

I also couldn’t resist hanging some of my old Apple posters on the wall. I hope you enjoy this virtual office background image. Drop a comment and let me know.

A terraformer’s most-used (and our most requested) tool! Once you use it, you’ll wonder how you ever terraformed without it!

Great for quickly and accurately re-shaping your land! Using the terraform tools in your Edit Window yields inaccurate, and sometimes unsatisfactory, results. The WaterMoon Breeze Land Manicure Tool allows a much more controlled behavior of the land terraforming options.

Simply rez the Land Manicure Tool on the ground and click for a menu of options. Click the TUTORIAL button for an explanation of what each button does. The terraform tool changes to display the option used and allows you to visually observe the effect on your land as it takes place.

To raise and lower terrain, use the LEVEL options and pull the tool to your desired height, or drag the tool underground and the land will level down to it. Dragging the tool from side-to-side is an easy way to achieve a perfectly level an area to the exact height that you want.

Great for experimenting! If you make a mistake, you can easily level over it and smooth it out in no time flat! Easy as dragging a prim from side-to-side!

Copyable – so you can line-up several of them for those extra-large projects! Stand up next to a mountain, and chop it down with the edge of your WaterMoon Breeze Land Manicure Tool!

If you’re the kind of person (like me) that’s always reshaping their land, you’ll find yourself reaching for this tool every time! It is made to provide years of constant, faithful and unfailing service, whenever you need it.

Easy to use!

WaterMoon Breeze is moving once again! We’re still part of Gilligans Island, but we’re relocating to an outlying isle designated as Professor’s Lab. At this stage, I’m incorporating many of our products into the landscape as examples of how easily our products can be used and manipulated to create their own beautiful, natural surroundings and environments (more pics and info after the bump)

The new island is a “void sim” meaning I have several restrictions to deal with, the main concern being; having an area the size of an island with only a quarter of the prims of a normal island.

Although this gives us more room and a few more prims, we don’t want our customers and clients getting lost or unable to quickly find what they’re looking for. With ease of use in mind, I’m landscaping the island to keep the land area to a bare minimum. The following pic shows how I’ve “manicured” the island down a bit.

This will not only consolidate all our products closer together, but will also serve to encourage me to use less prims as decoration while still presenting a pleasant, natural outdoor experience to visitors. It also will create a “flow” to the island giving visitors a defined walkspace so they don’t have to wander aimlessly to find interesting and helpful areas.

One thing I plan to do is to separate our products into 3 categories on the isle;

1. Weather Devices

2. Fun and Silly Toys

3. Windchimes/Carousels/etc. (miscellaneous)

Weather Devices will be the first thing the visitor sees upon arriving at WaterMoon. Fun and Silly Toys will be consolidated in a shack somewhere nearby – this shack will be designated with a large PROFESSORS LAB sign and vendors, making it easy to find. Carousels, Windchimes and other outdoor enhancements will be placed in prominent areas across the island for easy access and purchase.

I don’t think a pathway will be necessary, since the areas will be easily accessed, and I’m thinking about making wooden signs pointing to the areas that visitors can walk to or click the sign and be quickly teleported there, if they don’t feel like taking the short walk on laggy days.

Water, water everywhere, so we’ll have free fishing back as soon as possible – maybe an even more exciting fishing set-up this time. I’m considering several different ones to find the one that will be the most fun for everyone.

ZOMBIES!!!

All is not perfect in paradise. I’ve discovered a dangerous problem with this area. The island in the middle of the lagoon is infested with tenacious Tropical Water-Zombies! DO NOT venture onto that small isle without a decent weapon or gun! You have been warned. In the near future I’ll provide an emergency gun dispenser for visitors to protect themselves. But in the meantime, if curiosity or scientific research brings you to that tiny island, you’re on your own if you don’t pack some heat.

REMEMBER: Zombies are dead, and as such, they don’t need to breathe air. They will follow you anywhere, including under water or across rivers/streams/ponds, etc. The good news is, they aren’t very fast. Most people can “outrun” them simply by walking away. Our studies show that these zombies will leave us alone for the most part, but stepping on their pentangle angers them, they will come after anybody careless enough to stumble into their “magic circle”. It is best to avoid this area completely, but if you unfortunately end up there, please carry a damaging weapon to protect yourself and any members of your exploration party.

The move to new location will give me a chance to incorporate all of our new products into the new build. Expect plenty more great products in the future, and lots more toys, freebies, and demos to make your visit to WaterMoon Breeze an exciting, pleasurable, serene and/or memorable one!

The Fire Pit is listed on SLExchange at; http://tinyurl.com/3zdp5g

You have the options to turn the smoke and/or embers on and off. One of the neat features is a small cough when you turn off smoke. I have planned some cool stuff to go with this…

A couple copyable sit logs for people to gather ’round the fire – my plan is to make the sit logs so when you click it, it gives you a marshmallow on a stick. You wear it and that enables a “roasting marshallow” animation. The marshmallow will get darker and darker – if you don’t click it before too long it will burst into flames (accompanied by a “panic” animation), and you get a new marshmallow on your stick once you calm down.

But so many people wanted the fire, I figured I’d better put it for sale now, and make the marshmallow sit logs as a separate product.
