STÖMOL: Where and how to watch it


Originally posted on What the Huck?:
Ok folks, we’re almost there. Enough with all the promotion. It’s time to actually release STÖMOL. Here’s how you’ll be able to watch the movie from Thursday onwards. Please note, these details are a tiny bit different from those I gave in last Friday’s Lab Gab. The main difference…

STÖMOL merch (yes)


Originally posted on What the Huck?:
If you think this is bonkers then you’re probably right. But I’m feeling celebratory. After all, creating STÖMOL took up nearly 18 months of my life (ok, I did squeeze in the day job during that time and quite a bit of other stuff besides). And, when it comes…

Underwhere


“Art for arts sake, no real purpose beyond that” says Hera (zee9.resident) in her notecard, telling about Underwhere. Hera’s latest sim, or art installation as you will, is very different than her previous cities. If you are expecting a new Drune or something Cyberpunk, you will be disappointed. If you want to be amazed and…

Don’t we all need a Breath of Nature?


The other night I was exploring and via lots of landmarks I found myself on a gorgeous sim: Breath of Nature. A place I could use in real life as well, specially after 12 weeks of lockdown! I don’t have much to tell today (I am not in a chatty mood), other than you will…

The Muse


Last year I have spent most of my SL time in cyberpunk themed sims, while busy with Stömol, the movie by Huckleberry Hax and to be fair…I kind of missed the fantasy side of Second Life every now and then. But, now the filming is done and Huck is busy with editting the movie together,…
