Sensations - Couch

Finally got around to doing some sensations pieces. First up is this couch, next up will be another store, then back to Sensations for another piece. Naturally this will take me a week to 2 weeks to do with the way things are right now

Some important info

 There are 3 separate couches here. G rated, Adult and Tentacle.  Each one gets progressively more expensive, but naturally contains more in it. The prices are at the bottom.

I am reviewing the tentacle one here.

Appearance

 This could take awhile. First up we'll go over looks.. The Look menu allows you to adjust the textures of the couch, its cushions and its.. tentacles. More on those later.  For the cushions and couch itself, you have Leather, latex and satin textures. 10 latex, 17 leather and 5 satin to be exact. Tentacle colour wise, there's 11 options.

 Now onto poses. Right away there are 5 menus, each with submenus of their own, packed full of poses. To be exact there are 43 D/S poses, 38 sex, 36 tentacle, 40 romance variants, and 39 relax poses, for a grand total of of 196 poses. Romance work a little differently, with you combining various cuddles and kisses as far as I can tell.

 The Tentacles.. aren't purely the way you may think. Some of them are used purely for bondage without the typical tentacle usage in SL, or in media in general for that matter. For those that think this means they don't have their typical usage, relax, they do.. In spades.

 You also get the option to rez a dance pole, which has 4 different sets in it.

Function 

 Lets see.. Shes packed a ton in here. Normally I do top left to bottom right, but for some reason the menus move around as you go back and forth, so doing a slightly different format than usual for this one. Feedback would be appreciated on this layout

Help menu

 First one, small and simple. You get a help nc, web help button and an FAQ, as well as a sensations HUD.

Settings

 In here we have reset, easy to guess its usage. Touchable allows you to adjust menu access, updates another simple one I really should not need to explain. There's a Sensations toggle, for those using the sensations kit.

 You can adjust the pose balls up and down with the next two options, as well as turn on/off lockmesiter chains with the following one. There's a timer here for making the poseballs vanish which is handy, an an announce button to display info on the current pose. Next is public, which lets anyone access the settings menu, and the last is a toggle for adjusting poseballs.

None

 This puts away all your currently rezzed equipment, such as the dancer pole, tentacles and poseballs. Handy to use this after play to keep prim counts down I'd say.

RLV

 Has three options. Capture, which force sits someone, but you need ot have loaded a pose first for it to work. Next is RLVs toggle, which will trigger peoples Relays. The last option adjusts RLV menu access. Off means no access, half allows those without an active relay to go in, and on allows full access at all times.

Look

 The appearance menu. You'll find the buttons explained more indepth in appearance here

Options

 Public Use is the first option here, toggles allowing everyone or just owners into the Look and Options menus, similar to the one in settings and to some extent RLV. The next option toggles sounds on and off while the third adjusts whether Say commands are shown (object text in local)

 The next two adjust what the tentacles do, or more accurately where they do it. Will leave htis open to your imaginations. Last option lets you adjust the tentacles heights, for more accurate posing.

The pose menus

 The last 5 menus all rez poseballs, and possibly tentacles, dancer poles, etc depending on what you choose. See Appearance for more info on these. There's also Rotate, which appears when some poseballs are rezzed.


My thoughts

 I like this couch, and from speaking with Earalia, the intent was purely for RP, which is great. It has a few issues, such as my relay being triggered every time a pose is changed (I keep my relay on Ask), which makes me think its designed for relays on Auto somehow. I also had issues with the tentacles sometimes disappearing during their animations then popping back in a second later.

I'd also like shiny/latex textures for the tentacles, but that's just for RP sake. Plus I like shiny.

Lastly - its trans/mod/no copy

Scores

Appearance - Plenty of textures to fit most settings, tons of poses (depending on version) and plenty built in.. Just a couple of hitches here and there - 9/10
Function - Bar the odd menus jumping around issue, I have no complaints here - 9/10
Price - PG = 1625 linden, Adult = 2777 and Tentacle = 4925
