Introducing SLBN 2.0: Enhanced Access for Our Community of Bloggers, Streamers, and Influencers
https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15947-introducing-slbn-20-enhanced-access-for-our-community-of-bloggers-streamers-and-influencers/
Are you a Second Life blogger, video streamer, or influencer looking to deepen your connection with the Second Life community? We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Second Life Blogger Network 2.0 (SLBN 2.0)—an evolved version of our original initiative designed to take your content and influence to the next level.
Since its inception, the SLBN has been a platform to amplify high-quality, independent blog content through our official channels, including social media. This aspect will remain a core focus as we relaunch and refine this initiative, but SLBN 2.0 brings an exciting new element: exclusive insider access to Second Life executives and early previews of upcoming features.
What’s New in SLBN 2.0?
In addition to showcasing your incredible content to the broader Second Life community, SLBN 2.0 will now include:
Direct Access to Executives: Gain insider insights with occasional opportunities to meet directly with Second Life executives in a group setting to discuss platform news, updates, and strategic initiatives.
Early Feature Previews: Be among the first to learn about and discuss new features before they are publicly released. This means you’ll have a head start in sharing timely and relevant updates with your audience.
Exclusive Conversations: Participate in closed discussions that allow you to provide feedback and shape conversations about the future of Second Life.
These enhancements are designed to empower our community of bloggers and influencers by offering new tools to engage their audiences with exclusive content and insights.
How to Join SLBN 2.0
Participation remains free and non-exclusive, and joining is simple:
Review the SLBN Terms & Conditions and Content Guidelines. We respect diversity of opinion and your blog and voice remains independent if you participate in this initiative. However, access to executive meetups is reserved for constructive conversations and feedback - and we reserve the right to remove participants if they engage in hate speech, trolling, or toxic behavior. There is also the opportunity for your blogs to be amplified across our social channels, but we will only promote content that meets specific standards to ensure suitability for all audiences.
Fill out the Submission Form. If you’re already an SLBN participant and actively blogging, you don’t need to reapply—you’re automatically eligible for SLBN 2.0 perks. Please make sure that you include the link to your active blog – only active bloggers will be considered for inclusion in this initiative. We reserve the right to remove participants if there is an extended period of blogging inactivity.
Optional: Add the SLBN Badge to Your Blog. Proudly display your participation with an SLBN badge. Grab it here.
Once enrolled, you’ll continue to have your blog, stream, or social posts reviewed for potential promotion through our existing channels. Participation in executive briefings and feature previews will be managed separately and by invitation. Depending on the number of total participants, we may occasionally break down meetups into smaller groups - so if you are not invited to one event then keep your eyes peeled on your inbox for future opportunities.
Why Join SLBN 2.0?
SLBN 2.0 is not just about promoting your content—it’s about building deeper connections within the Second Life ecosystem. You’ll be part of an exclusive group of bloggers, streamers, and influencers who are uniquely positioned to inform, inspire, and grow the Second Life community with timely, impactful updates.

Second Life Spotlight - Kiria Mama
https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15950-second-life-spotlight-kiria-mama/
Today we’re shining a spotlight on Kiria Mama, the creative force behind VELOUR, whose trailblazing efforts in beauty and fashion have revolutionized the shopping experience in Second Life.
How long have you been in Second Life and how did you first hear about it?
Seventeen years ago, I was on an old social network called Orkut when I noticed Brazilians creating profiles with photos of characters that were unlike anything I’d ever seen. Intrigued, I started chatting with one of them, and they introduced me to Second Life. That’s how my journey began in 2007.
What inspired you to create VELOUR, and could you share more about the range of products you offer and what makes them unique in the Second Life market?
Before creating VELOUR, I managed It Girls, a store owned by my childhood friend Annie Jolifaunt. When she was on vacation, I would take care of her store, analyzing sales through the vendor system. During that time, I started noticing patterns, identifying the best-performing products, and understanding which niches were the most successful for It Girls.
I wanted to apply this analytical and statistical knowledge to my own brand while continuing to support It Girls. Annie taught me many skills in SL, including how to create makeup and skins, which set the foundation for VELOUR.
Today, VELOUR offers a wide range of products, from body and face skins to makeup, add-ons, and hairbases. What makes us unique is our Universal Match Project, which allows customers to seamlessly match our body skins with face skins from other creators. With more than 1,300 affiliated stores, we’ve created a collaborative network that elevates everyone’s work.
VELOUR has played a pivotal role in standardizing body skin tones across Second Life. Could you tell us more about the decision to offer such partnerships to other creators, and how can new creators sign up?
The idea of offering our skin tones to all creators—whether they started yesterday or are already well-established—came from Annie. She recognized my business skills and encouraged me to pursue this concept. While she focused on textures, I worked on developing the Dev Kits and reached out to designers to invite them to join our affiliate program.
Our partnership program is open to everyone, and all applicants are accepted. To join, creators can apply here: https://tinyurl.com/VELOURpartnership.
Could you tell us more about the concept behind VELOUR Mall and how it enhances the shopping experience for Residents?
I’m obsessed with malls. Whenever I visit a new city, the first place I look for is a mall because I love being able to shop for everything I need in one place.
In Second Life, I’ve built lasting friendships with some incredible people who have become real-life friends. One day, I said to them, “What if we all joined forces in one big space that looks like a real mall? A place where residents can come to buy a skin, and then shop for shoes, clothes, hair, and accessories all in one trip?”
That’s how VELOUR Mall was born. It’s designed to create an immersive and convenient shopping experience for our customers. Residents have told me it’s one of their favorite destinations, and that kind of feedback means the world to me.
Velour Mall
Velour Mall caters to all your avatar needs with a variety of high-end stores that sell skins, shoes, cosmetics, poses, accessories, and more! Some of the stores include Velour Beauty, It Girls, Faenzo Hair, Salvadori Paris, and more.
More Info Teleport
In your view, how has VELOUR influenced the beauty and fashion landscape within Second Life?
VELOUR has set a new standard in the community by simplifying how customers match their skins with our body tones.

In your view, how has VELOUR influenced the beauty and fashion landscape within Second Life?
VELOUR has set a new standard in the community by simplifying how customers match their skins with our body tones.
Although we weren’t the first to share Dev Kits, we were the first to make them publicly available, which made VELOUR the top choice for body skins. Our initiative has helped establish a collaborative and inclusive approach that benefits both creators and customers.
What are some of the future plans or upcoming innovations for VELOUR?
We’re planning to expand VELOUR Mall with a second region connected to our current one, giving customers an even bigger and better shopping experience. (Hair stores, we’re looking at you 👀).
In addition, we’re excited to announce new body skins coming in 2025. These will feature significant improvements over our previous lines, and we can’t wait to share them with everyone!

ECLIPSE Magazine October 2021 featuring DFS
What inspired you to create the Digital Farm System (DFS), and how has it evolved since its inception?
I have always loved farming simulation games, especially because I find it challenging to keep a garden alive in real life. I truly enjoy the tranquility that farming brings, which is why I spent a lot of time playing Farmville on Facebook and Minecraft. However, after becoming more involved in Second Life, I wanted to recreate that same sense of enjoyment within the game. I explored various farming systems but often found them lacking in fun; they were either tedious or simply didn’t have that special "spice." To address this, I discussed the idea of creating a farming system with some friends and began researching and building prototypes. DFS started in a small skybox parcel, where I set up a basic vendor and an area to demonstrate how the system works. I initially used a brown and pink box to represent a cow and a bull. My skills were primarily in coding, so I relied heavily on the amazing full-perm meshes, sculpts, and textures available from Second Life stores and the marketplace.
As DFS gained popularity and became financially viable, I was able to hire 3D model designers and texture artists to create more custom and unique items. This led to the expansion of DFS into three full regions on the grid, starting with the main DFS store, and two community regions: Benbrook Acres and Benbrook Springs, which feature a large market where DFS customers can sell their items.
Over the past eight years, DFS has experienced significant growth, now boasting over 33,000 registered users and an average of seven new users joining each day. In addition to farming crops, raising animals, and managing fields, I would like to highlight our incredible crafting system. This system allows players to utilize all the items and ingredients harvested from farming, ensuring that users are rewarded for their hard work with access to over 2,000 recipes in our database. We have also embraced new technology in Second Life by expanding into animating mesh with DFS Pets. This subsection of DFS features animals with smooth animations, enhancing the realism of the environment. So far, we have created an adorable Highland cow and a Shetland Pony, with plans to introduce many more pets in the future.
DFS Pets - Shetland Pony
DFS has become a popular community in Second Life. What do you think makes it so engaging for its users?
From the beginning of DFS, my vision has been to create a community-driven system where customers can assist one another instead of relying solely on staff for help. We prioritize transparency in the information we provide. Since the functionality of items throughout the system is similar, the farming process becomes easy to navigate once you grasp the basics. I take great pride in fostering a welcoming and supportive community, which includes many families that enjoy doing farm chores together.
DFS includes features like crop cultivation, cooking, and raising animals. What are some of your favorite aspects or activities within DFS?
Many of my friends and customers say that the best part of DFS is the "Oopsie!" item you receive when you make a mistake in cooking or crafting. However, my favorite aspect of DFS is how everything is interconnected. You start by growing items, then craft them into food for energy, which you use to farm, and then repeat the cycle. This creates a closed system that consistently provides a surplus of food, allowing you to resell it or use it in various roleplay scenarios within Second Life. I particularly enjoy the cooking and crafting aspects of the system. Creating some of the more complex recipes can be quite challenging, as it requires careful attention to place items in the correct slots, use the right equipment, and gather all the necessary ingredients.

Are there any memorable moments or milestones in DFS’s journey that stand out to you?
I would like to share some memorable moments from the growth of DFS over the years:
1. One of my first breakthroughs was figuring out how to enable the animals to breed with each other. It involved two prims communicating with each other and requesting a baby from a web server.
2. I also discovered how to make fields work with new seeds without recoding them. I streamlined the process by sending the texture stages, growing times, and product data to request from the server upon harvesting.
3. One of the most challenging yet exciting moments was when I developed the crafting system. I loaded recipes into a database, making them instantly available to all customers without requiring any changes or updates. This achievement had me jumping out of my chair in excitement!
4. I will always remember the day I secured my first region on Second Life and moved my store there. I was incredibly proud and chose to name it DFS to align with my system.
5. Perhaps the most life-changing moment came when I successfully withdrew money from Second Life. This success with DFS allowed me to pay for real-life bills and focus more on developing the system. It also enabled me to hire staff from Second Life, helping them improve their own lives.
These moments mark significant milestones in my journey with DFS.
Are there any exciting updates or new features coming to DFS that you’d like to share with the community?
We have some exciting new items and recipes on the way, including unique offerings and limited-edition seasonal items! With DFS Pets, we're introducing more animals, such as a reindeer for the Christmas Shop and Hop event in 2024. We're also thrilled about upcoming additions like a baby chicken and an axolotl currently in development.
What advice would you give to someone looking to start their own system or community in Second Life?
When developing your own system, you must have a solid understanding of coding, databases, server management, and problem-solving. There is a lot involved not only in creating a system but also in maintaining it afterward. I was fortunate to study software development, server management, and database administration. With several years of experience in system development, I have been able to keep up with the demands of the field. One of the significant aspects of Second Life is that many talented coders and designers are available for hire to assist with the development process. It’s also important to surround yourself with positive people who motivate and keep you on track during difficult times. Having team members who can provide constructive feedback and suggestions is invaluable. When you create a system or start your own community, design it so you would enjoy participating in yourself. The most rewarding aspect comes from witnessing the joy and excitement users express when interacting with your system. Avoid including elements you would not want to engage with, such as making processes overly tedious or difficult to follow. Keeping the rules and guidelines simple and easy to understand will enhance the overall experience for you and your users.

Introducing the Character Designer (Alpha)
https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15954-introducing-the-character-designer-alpha/
We are making the Character Designer available on the main grid for early testing and feedback to Premium Plus residents. While we have completed initial internal evaluations, we encourage all interested residents to explore this alpha release, identify any issues, and share their input so we can continue refining the tool.
What is the Character Designer?
Developed in collaboration with Convai, the Character Designer empowers you to craft, customize, and animate virtual characters within Second Life. This tool is intended for developers, community builders, roleplay enthusiasts, and anyone looking to enhance their inworld experiences through dynamic characters.
Current Capabilities and Intended Use
The Character Designer provides a solid foundation for immersive roleplay, offering a range of features that let you shape and refine the personalities and behaviors of your inworld characters. Current capabilities include:
Early-Stage Roleplay Support – Characters respond intelligently through IM, adapting and evolving as you interact.
Custom Personalities and Backstories – Define unique histories, preferences, and communication styles to bring your characters to life.
Integration with Existing SL Systems – Connect through a dedicated alt account, set arrival points, and fine-tune behavior filters for a seamless inworld experience.
For a comprehensive overview of all options and detailed instructions, please see the Getting Started with the AI Character Designer guide.
Planned Enhancements
As this is an alpha release, several improvements are planned:
Expanded Communication – Beyond IM-based interactions, future updates will include local and group chat support.
Voice Integration – Upcoming versions will allow characters to speak, enhancing immersion.
Contextual Awareness – Characters will gain awareness of nearby objects and avatars, enabling more relevant responses.
Advanced Actions – Over time, characters may perform tasks like exchanging inventory items or changing outfits.
Extended Configuration Options – Additional LLM models and Character Designer APIs will provide greater customization and integration possibilities.
NPC Integration
We are working on NPC functionality to complement the Character Designer. Soon, you will be able to place multiple dynamic NPCs that welcome visitors, provide assistance, and enrich the overall atmosphere of your regions. By combining rule-based behavior tools with Convai’s Narrative Design system, you can craft evolving narratives that adapt to your visitors’ actions and choices.
How to Begin
To begin using the Character Designer, you’ll need a Premium Plus membership on your main account. Your character will use a separate alt account that does not require Premium Plus to log in.
If you are not currently a Premium Plus subscriber, you can upgrade here, then log out and back in to refresh your access. Once that’s done, you can visit the Character Designer website, configure your character’s persona, and enable it to appear and interact inworld.
Important Considerations
Alpha Status: This feature is in early testing, and you may encounter limitations or unexpected behaviors.
Main/Primary Account Usage: Your main account (with Premium Plus) is used to access the Character Designer interface.
When creating a character, you are effectively linking an AI “mind” to a designated Second Life account. Once linked, your character’s AI mind can log into any (alt) account that you choose to connect.
MFA Restrictions: Currently, any account that has Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled cannot be used for character connections.
