Nataani for Dusk

Well, since I seem to be awake... (I swear I am going to make myself a bearskin rug out of my Bear if he keeps it up!)
*coughs* Anyway!
Since I seem to be awake... I picked this up again. Working on filling in the Read-me file with all the needed information, and I've got all except the read-me file set up in the dummy folder structure... once the read-me is done, it's just a zip-it-up together and he'll finally be ready for Beta.
*bounces off back to work until she gets tired enough to go back to sleep*

~LOL~Look out, Bear, she's got you in her sights

Oh, yeah. But on the other hand, I did get the vast bulk of the read-me file done this morning while I was waiting for "cranky wolf" energy to fade enough that I could grab at least a nap...LOL
Cranky wolf can be useful
Sometimes, yes!
I'm almost done with the read-me file now.
I have to make supper for my two here, but after that I should be able to finish up the read-me and get this all zipped up for Beta. I did most of the zip file setup last night with the files, so it's really just a matter of dropping the completed read-me into the setup library structure.
Okay, the read-me file is completed... and the whole kitten kaboodle is zipped up and ready to roll for Beta.
Whew!
For submission to QAV I will probably break it up into two zips, but for Beta purposes, it's all in a single zip file... and the zip file for Beta is about 248 MBs in size. LOL

Wow! That's a biggun!
I didn't necessarily mean that literally Lorraine.
LMAO - You two are funny... needed that laugh this morning, thank you.
Update - zip file has been uploaded to my space finally (it takes a while to get there over the FTP when it's this big). I'll get the Beta post put together once I've gotten through at least the first cup of coffee.
Seliah, I salute you! Fingers crossed the beta goes bonza
PS very happy to have given you a laugh this morning
For some reason, I'm actually more nervous about the QAV part than the Beta part... LOL. Yes, I know I'm weird.

I don't think that's odd at all. Beta is you and your testers putting Nataani through his paces, with consultation going on, backward and forward. QAV is handing over your baby and sitting with your fingers crossed. I would be the same, nervous as all hell.
It might also be first-time jitters. I mean... I did at one point years and years ago have ONE item submitted to Rendo's store... it was just a pose package for V4, and they were pretty nasty with me about most of it. Oh, it passed their QAV, but they weren't exactly polite or even professional about communication. It took them three months to get it through QA and even do the initial contact back to me, and then they didn't like the fact that I had included a folder for my read-me files... well, I started doing that because by the time I had submitted that old V4 package, I'd been making freebies for many years, and I figured it was just easier for the end user to have all my readme files under one folder if they had downloaded multiple items from me.
I know that's one of the things I do on my own system.. vendors or freebie makers that I have a lot of their content, I keep their read-mes together in a single folder. It's just easier for me to find later, if I need to. Together with the fact that I usually have items in my library under folders with the vendor/freebie maker's name, it's simple enough to go "Oh, this was Item A, by Person B" and go right to their Readme folder on my HD for information if I needed it.
Anyway. I know I won't have to worry about that with HW. The folks here are just wonderful, or I wouldn't be here in the first place! Rendo's whole attitude just kind of left a very bad taste in my mouth. I never bothered to submit anything further to Rendo, and in fact I didn't bother to elect out of the clearance thing (back when they allowed their vendors to do that) when the V4 poses eventually hit clearance. And it was quite a few years before I bothered trying to sell anything again, even though I had multiple people asking me for years, why in the world I wasn't selling yet. I was really kind of put off and disgusted with the whole seller process after the experience with Rendo, and I had pretty much come to a decision to stick to just making freebies, and if my freebies were market quality, so what. They're mine. I can do with them as I wish, within the limitations of the base items.
I probably would have offered Nataani for free, also, if I wasn't restricted by the usage of the merchant resource for his skin. In fact, the only reason I even bought Tosca's Dusk MR was so I could do a darker skinned character for myself. Nataani just decided as I was making him, that he was willing to visit other people's Runtimes is all. This character is actually very personal to me, and I normally would not have released him for public consumption, except that he insisted on it. The only change he made for public use was the name of the package for the public's purpose. In my own library, he's actually called Kiyiya. But Kiyiya wasn't a very good "commercial" name (does not roll of the tongue very well for English speakers), so for the public's consumption, the market version of the character was re-named to Nataani instead.
Anyway. Off to set up the Beta thread now.
