Alley CatZ Club is a ShowBuzz connected venue.

The venue runs as a cost neutral venue in that all tier costs are covered by revenue raised within SL. The venue is not simply a venue like other live performance venues in SL, it is also the base for ACC/AML which has revenue streams that are generated from other inworld ventures including FlyGearZ & Calas-FlyGearZ events. We base venue success on a profitable running cost for ACC/AML as a whole rather than on patronage head count at the club… In saying that, we are extremely grateful for our loyal patronage as we only run events at Alley Catz Club for those who attend JPeabody’s AM SLT shows.

This page and any other pages related to Alley Catz Club or Ascension Media & Lighting are maintained and managed by Lilith Lupindo. It should therefore be noted, JP as a singer is different to JP as a co-owner (silent partner) of the Alley Catz Club/Ascension Media & Lighting (ACC/AML). All venue management and operational inquiries are to be addressed to Lilith.

Alley Catz Club EST 2022, had a significant rebuild in June 2024 when it was rebuilt to be one of the first PBR venues in SL and based on a night club Lilith worked at while studying in Shanghai. The build known as “Beyond The Singularity” is just one build within Lilith’s Singularity Project. She is the prime mover behind all these changes. Singularity Project LINK.

For those using none PBR supported viewers, there is limited low resolution fallback for the core build.

Further modifications were made in early 2025 with a significant amount of work put into the performance engines that drives the venue automation, moving elements, experiences and effects. This probably makes the venue one of the more complex MST Show Tools venues in SL.

Lilith has become a leader in the field of PBR implementation and continues to amaze with her talent. The venue is JP’s Alley Catz home providing him with a platform to sing in SL at his own venue. It is also the base of operations for ACC/AML.

The venue build uses PBR Materials and PBR Reflection Probes and is optimized for low lag, in saying that anyone who is running a low end computer will find they may encounter significant FPS drops due to the performance engines and lighting system.

Upon arrival all visitors will be greeted by the Singularity Project server along with some minor help in terms of how to set a few graphics settings. This is the only time automated messages are generally issued as we do not like to SPAM chat throughout a performance. It is important that you do read this as it does provide information you will probably want to know.

The only other time we will generate an automated message is when we intend to run a Performance Engine for a given song to provide a fully immersive performance that generally requires you to be seated on a dance pad too allow control of your camera.

The club is powered by;

When Lilith is running her dance HUD you can dance on her HUD by sitting on Dance Pads (they will only be rezzed when Lilith’s HUD is connected to the venues dance performance engine.

The Singularity Project – Beyond The Singularity

What is the Singularity Project, is a joint ACC/AML & FlyGearZ Immersive PBR experience. It was unveiled on 31st August 2024 on the FlyGearZ Watyre region. For details please visit this LINK

Beyond The Singularity is the ACC/AML home venue, known as Alley Catz Club. This venue is the base for all Singularity builds I make for FlyGearZ.

Note: Some components do not have fallback and will therefore look white or grey to those not using a PBR supported viewer. For PBR Materials that Mareth created, fallback diffuse textures are used, these are however down scaled as 512×512. This reduces rendering costs at the GPU level of ones hardware.

Venue Community

We are focused on making everyone feel welcome regardless of if your a regular patron or not. Sometimes local chat may be busy with banter and conversation, feel free to join in and enjoy yourself. At other times it may be fairly silent as people simply enjoy each others company while dancing and listening to music.

We (JPeabody and Lilith) do try to make everyone feel welcomed and part of the community of Alley Catz.

Venue Operational Hours

The venue will not run events that CLASH with Live shows at any venue JP is performing at or any FlyGearZ, MetaHarpers or Calas events Lilith is involved in.

The venue operates on a limited performance model of only a single hour (Monday) & (Saturday) in the AM SLT period. Events are published in the google calendar & in SL Events.

We do NOT open the venue for other performers as its other function serves as the development base for ACC/AML collaborative FlyGearZ experiences & a MHIT alternate DenPaMac rezzable demo site. We are however, open to 3rd parties that want to use the venue on a one-off or semi-regular basis provided it fits in with Lilith’s RL and SL schedule and does not clash with ACC/AML, FlyGearZ, Calas or MHIT events. The booking fee to use Alley Catz Club per hour is $4,000L to be paid in advanced to secure the booking. Failure to pay on-time will be deemed an automatic cancellation. This is split 50/50 between ACC/AML and FlyGearZ.

Why charge a fee for venue bookings by 3rd parties? Unlike most venues in SL, there is a lot of tech and automation Lilith has built into Alley Catz Club. This is controlled from various HUD’s Lilith runs and although in theory these could be distributed to others. There is a lot of knowledge required to know what is built into the venue and how to trigger each effect.

(Times are subject to change based on RL commitments or when clashes occur with FlyGearZ & Calas events)
