Luna's Empire Fallout Equestria Ghost Hunt

 

Once again, the Luna's Empire Event sim is hosting a Halloween Ghost Hunt event. But this time, it has a new twist. This year, it has a "Fallout" theme, taking place decades after a civilization-ending event, and this time you take down monsters. 

 

Near the entrance, you pick up some gear, the weapon and a couple HUDs. It is recommended you take off unnecessary HUDs and scripts to lighten your load to make play easier for you, and others. 

 

 The lower right HUD keeps track of how much you've been slimed, which happens when monsters touch you, which clogs your screen and reduces the amount of candy you get from busted creatures. It also keeps track of how much candy you have, and what fighter class you are. The HUD on the upper left shows your location on the map, as well as locations of some monsters. 

 

 Some monsters can be taken on single-hamded. Others are stronger, and require a team effort. But they drop more candy when beaten. There's also a boss monster in a special area that's only accessible every so often. 

 

You can exchange the candy for prizes near the entrance. While some are pony-themed and not much good for human or furry or tiny avatars, others are useable by most everyone..

 

The game costs nothing, so if you're a pony of Fallout fan, or like busting monsters in general, come on over and zap away.

A Look At "Luna's Nightmare Night" Pony Ghostbusting Game

 

Before closing out the Halloween season, the Newser took a look at one of the more interactive Halloween events.  This was "Luna's Nightmare Night," a game in the Luna's Empire Events sim. In this game, the Ghostbuster's connection is obvious with the proton guns. You can pick them up, along with the HUD and map, at several vendors around the sim, one near the entrance at  (50/36/14).

 

I had a few words with EmpresLuna Starchild, the game's owner.  She told me she had wondered if turnout would be smaller than last year, but it's gotten bigger with over 1,100 different players, with over 65 *million* candies, the tokens awarded in the game, given out.

To get the candies, one goes around with the gun to hunt down ghosts. You weaken them by zapping them with the gun, and when their resistance reaches zero, a trap appears under them and the ghost is caught. And you get a few candies as a prize. But if a ghost touches you, you get slimed and won't get as much candy. As you get slimed more, your vision will look greener and gunkier until it reaches 100%, after which you'll need to wash in a fountain or get the help of a cleaner (more on that later). Some ghosts are tougher than others and will need multiple players to take on. 

You can exchange the candies for prizes. This year, there's a lot more variety in the gifts available. And they're not just for ponies. One can get a copy of Ecto-1 for 50,000 candies.

The green slime boss from last year is still around. But there's another boss monster. A pony farmer NPC will ask for some help in trying to take care of some haunted pumpkins. And then Luna shows up to pull something truly dastardly. And it's up to you, and the other 'busters, to save the day. And you get hundreds of candies (if you're not too slimed) for doing it.

When I was there, a number of ponies were doing a video. EmpresLuna told me the title was "Bustin' Luna," and should be up soon.

This is the last day scheduled for the Ghostbusting game. So if you haven't, get in on this Halloween fun.

Reader Submitted:

 Will Burns (Aeonix Aeon) recently sent us a couple pictures. One was of him in an avatar inspired by "The Nightmare Before Christmas" at Halloween Town.

Will didn't say exactly where this picture was taken. But it looks like he was wondering "Who you gonna call?"

Ghostbusters Sim

Grease Coakes recently heard about a sim and "light RP' in Second Life, "Slime Square." There, fans of the movie, or those looking for an action-filled game, can get a proton pack and zap n' trap the spectral denziens. Grease talked to the owner of the place, and engaged in a little of the Ghostbusting action.
