    Great video Twortles :) Very insightful stuff, hopefully, VRC can grow sustainably and retain a community mindset even though they have so much VC behind them. Guess we will have to wait and see.

    Eventually you're going to reach a ceiling, perhaps this is a point like that.
    I just hope it breaks through the ceiling and keeps going because I like VR a lot c:

    I've made worlds that have hit the trending page with over 100K visits, and I completely agree wit this sentiment as well.
    I can't bring myself to build anything more for this platform especial give the SDK bugs, networking limitations, and lack of exposed functions in UDON.
    I received a beta invite to work with the creator economy and even this hasn't been enough to motivate me to make anything due to the poor documentation along with the %50 cut.
    It doesn't seem worth it considering how little you actually receive.
    I've started working on my own standalone VR unity projects as it's becoming harder and harder to justify building content for that platform.

    Great video Twortles! We need these discussions to happen or the rot will set in at VRchat. Maybe its inevitable and maybe its already beyond saving, but I like to think we can help push VRChat in the right direction.

    With VRChat's increasing playerbase and growth, a lot of tensions have been slowly rising to the surface.
    Is this just another case of long term developers outgrowing their environment? Or is it something more?
    What do you guys think?

    • @Twortles
      @Twortles  Місяць тому

      Merlin was one of the lead developers for Udon2
      And yes, persistence would be a welcome change for VRC in general, but its going to take a while

    VRChat has changed a lot, and seeing the OG game creators leaving is just a big sign. We either leave and reminisce the great beginnings or accept change and hope for a better future of VRChat.

    idk about y'all but I'm not interested in these social VR apps until they involve items. I don't see the point in standing around a static map with nothing to do, bare minimum give me a coin to flip or a ball we can toss around y'know? NeosVR looked real promising, now my sights are on Resonite

    • @Twortles
      @Twortles  Місяць тому

      Some VRChat worlds already have items you can play around with like cards, pool tables, balls, coins, dice etc.
      Now if you're talking about items you can take with you from world to world, that's something entirely different

    • @CubesAndPortals
      @CubesAndPortals Місяць тому

      @@Twortles That's what I'm talking about, yeah. Resonite has the right idea, you just have a persistent inventory of stuff and can carry it all with you & take anything out wherever you go. I'm told you can make these items yourself in-headset with the ingame tools, and then you can give em to people / let people clone em. I love the idea of exploring the worlds of VRchat, but it'll never grab me til there's something to find. I can't buy into a digital beach until I can bring some of the sand back to put on my shelf, if that makes sense. Feels too transitory without something to remember it by, and 2D photos just don't capture what we're doing here. I don't want to poke at menus to invite you to my group, I just want to hand you a business card lol.

    A lot of people are quitting because they want shit to happen their way right now right away and that’s not how the word works things take time specially, if you want to do them right I want everybody to like it as far as the creator economy it’s best if they take their time and get it right. I’m excited to know what type of benefits they’re gonna have for streamers and UA-camrs.
