In a few hours, we have our big load test to break our previous record of 293, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. still room to join in on the fun! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562

In line with the frequency illusion, I've started seeing more interactive and non-competitive worlds in VRChat (though of course they were there all along).

I've really enjoyed "Write a Letter" by Elliot112. Lots of love and also pain engraved into that world.

As of right now, there's two things, one of which is in a slightly more obvious location than the other.

Woo! I'm glad :)

There are no indicated sound effects in this comic, so the sounds are up to your imagination. Panel 1: Hatsune Miku, Akita Neru, and Kasane Teto are on stage performing their song Triple Baka, with Miku pointing forward towards the crowd, Neru tapping on her phone, and Teto singing contently. Teal, yellow, and red lights shine into the sky behind them. Panel 2: The crowd is going wild, many hands with glowsticks in the. A few people are wearing Miku and Teto t-shirts. The Neru cosplayer girl from the previous comic is on her dad's shoulders to get a better view of the concert. Panel 3: The exterior of the amphitheater-esque concert venue. It's by a grassy park on one side and a body of water on the other. A few lit windows of the city they're in can be seen in the background. There's a sign on the wall of the venue that says "SHOW!!" with a long blue triangle and a short red triangle on it. A blue, yellow, and red spotlight shine out of the venue into the night sky, which is opalescent and littered with different shaped stars and galaxies. Panel 4: We pan farther up into that colorful night sky and words appear, reading: Your effect on the world matters no matter who remembers it and how

I am sooooo invested in this story

[SDK 3.8.0] Player Camera Fails to Render DrawMeshInstanced Objects | SDK Bug & Feature Requests | VRChat In the public world 'a-lin', photos taken using the player camera fail to display vegetation, trees, terrain, and similar environmental objects.

As far as I can tell, this is a bug with how I'm rendering the tower for performance reasons: feedback.vrchat.com/sdk-bug-repo...

The issue is already tracked, so we can only hope that VRChat gets around to fixing it eventually.

The world is simply called "Monument" :)

The migration is complete! Was kinda scary to migrate a running project to a different service while also completely rewriting the server, but it all worked out in the end. I feel like I've gained quite a lot of empathy for cloud devs through this experience.

The bad new is that I kinda need to get back to work and optimize things because my server is dying from the load. Though that seems like a good problem to have.

It's been 24 hours since the first brick was laid on the monument, over 65 thousand bricks have been placed!

Don't expect many size updates because the whole point is for the tower to be unquantifiable. But I am so overjoyed at how many people seem to be enjoying it that I felt compelled to share.

I am excited to announce the launch of my new #VRChat world, Monument!

Help us build a really big tower one brick at a time. The tower is synced across all instances, so each brick you place will increase its height for everyone who joins the world.

I really hope it will one day reach the sky.

Then again, I am biased in this regard, because I personally don't value my immersion in LARP that highly compared to other things, and am willing to break a scene over small things.

It's been a challenge to be respectful of the fact that for many people, that is the main reason that they LARP.

Thank you! I wanted to make sure I wasn't reading into what you had written in the article.

I've been trying my best to find ways to encourage people (especially experienced larpers) to use metatechniques even when they feel like they aren't needed. But It's definitely been an uphill battle.

At the risk of this being an incredibly leading question, did not seeing others using metatechniques impact your comfort in using metatechniques yourself during the LARP?

I'm grappling with this in a LARP that I'm currently organizing, so I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts on this.

A VR world featuring a rocky canyon in the desert. A large tower spirals upwards, tall enough that its top is out of frame. A tent and the tops of some palm trees can be seen in the background.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build a monument? Something so large, that a single person could never hope to create at even a fraction of that scale?

This feels so wrong, but I had to try.
Physically simulated non-kinematic legs; they don't clip through that breakable cube.

That is, I believe my issue was with memory bandwidth more than too many batches.

Hmm, thank you. I was hoping there was another option, but I suppose this makes sense. I'm attempting to draw (or at least give the impression of) millions of cubes, and instancing was not enough. I've settled on a combination LODs and DrawMeshInstanced to get it to not instantly crash my Quest.

How do you (or perhaps I should ask, do you) surpass the 1023 instance limit on DrawMeshInstanced? I was pretty bummed to see that DrawMeshInstancedInderect is not whitelisted in Udon, and haven't found any real alternatives that work.

Broke our record again today at 294,
ended up running out of computers to run basis clients on, plenty more to give.
It was great seeing everyone. We run tests weekly; feel free to come along for the next one! basisvr.org discord.gg/v6ve6WT562

We did a little DJ event during our normal test time. Next week, we are doing an official load test, and we need people to help break our previous record of 218! Please join us! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562 basisvr.org

A very tiny snowperson sits in a small pile of snow next to a table.

The snowperson has eyes on top of its head, a small round mouth, and little twigs for arms.

Going to Knutepunkt was an absolute joy. I met so many cool people, and I’m very sad (and a little scared) that I have to go back to the US.

I will likely write a bit about the experience itself later, but for now, I want to share this snowperson we made before the Nordic Larp Talks.

I was packing for my flight and couldn’t find my power bank. I eventually gave up and went in for work. By some cosmic coincidence, the university just happened to receive some free power banks that day and was giving them away c:

we now support Quest and Linux! hard few weeks of work but another awesome milestone, we hold tests weekly basisvr.org

today we tested the Vulkan pipeline for basis,

we run tests weekly: discord.gg/aCzSPKEW2v

Basis is an open-source framework for social VR and games.

✨💃I’m truly grateful to have received the Art of Dance award at the #VRChat Community Awards #VRCA today! Huge thanks to my amazing students, the wonderful VRC community, and everyone who supports @VRDanceAcademy. Let’s all keep sharing the love and power of dance! 💞🥰

Happy Valentine’s Day

We've been busy at the Myriad and the VR Roleplay Repo is now live!

We're offering a new way to share and discover VR roleplays. The Repo is a website allowing users to search for, add and edit roleplay pages.

I really hope this helps you find some interesting roleplays!

Today we ran the first official load test for basis, which was stable until around 106 people on a tiny digital ocean instance.
