3DXChat 3.0 Beta - Development Update 2

Hello everyone!

After months of hard work, we're thrilled to share the latest updates on our game with you in this blog post.
The most exciting news is that we've launched a beta server for testing the 3DXChat 3.0 Beta before implementing any changes to the main version. If you can't wait to try out the updated client, you can access it now by 
following this link: Join 3DXChat 3.0 Beta.

Let's dive into the details:

Improved Stability

We've prioritized enhancing the game's stability based on player feedback. To achieve this, we've taken a two-stage approach:

  • Stage 1 - Upgraded the game engine to Unity 2021 latest version.
  • Stage 2 - Addressed bugs in the game code.

Game Engine Update

3DXChat has successfully completed the first stage of porting the game to the new Unity 2021 engine, replacing the old 2018 version, and we are currently in the second stage of fixing bugs. This update grants us access to a wealth of technical improvements implemented by the engine development team. You can find a more comprehensive list of changes on the official Unity website.

It's important to note that most of the significant changes have been made behind the scenes and may not be immediately visible to players. Nevertheless, we believe it's crucial to deliver the game using the latest technology. We chose Unity 2021 as it's the version recommended by Unity itself for stability and suitability in ongoing projects. The newer versions, such as Unity 2022 and above, are currently considered unstable and recommended for research purposes only.

With the new engine in place, we'll be able to utilize all the features it offers. This upgrade brings numerous bug fixes and engine optimizations, resulting in a more stable client for players to enjoy while we continue addressing remaining issues.

Our upcoming plans involve further improving stability by continuing the bug fixing phase, alongside developing new content such as clothing and animations.

During the engine porting process, some systems encountered issues. However, we're happy to report that we've fixed them all, and in some cases, completely redesigned them. For instance, we revamped the beer drinking system, enhancing it by adding new types of drinks and food. As you consume these items, you'll notice the liquid level in the bottle dropping and bits of food disappearing from your plate. We've also introduced the ability to throw the bottle out of your character's hand, adding more realism to the experience.

But our efforts didn't stop at the engine upgrade. We've also included several new features and content for you to enjoy.

Open Your Own Shop

You now have the option to build your own store or place items anywhere in your location for other players to purchase. When items sell in your store, you'll receive 90% of the XGold earned. Grateful visitors can support your business by buying food and drink. Moreover, many of these items come with fun special effects. For example, vapes can emit colorful vapor, creating a smoke screen.

Share XGold Between Users

You can now gift XGold to other players or use it as payment for services. These features expand the game mechanics and offer fantastic role-playing opportunities.

Record Your Parties Like a Pro

We've added an optional camera mode for video recording (accessible via the F8 hotkey). This mode enables you to capture smooth, seamless fly-throughs or set the camera to behave like a quadcopter. Additionally, you can now control the default camera using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

New Content

We also have new in-game content for you, including:

  • Food and drinks objects for World Editor
  • Clothes (remastering old clothes + material system and brand new items)
  • Tattoos (6 new hand-drawn tattoos)
  • Sexual Positions (Not available in the beta client! Because they are in closed testing. You will get them in the release on the main server after the beta ends)

I really like idea of the Xgold for RP purchases but would it be able to get some kind of tip jar you could hook other visitors to and remove from? Situations where I think this be super helpful. It could allow people to tip bartenders for RP or personal or DJs, I am not sure if objects be best solution or tip jar on profile themselves. But would be a nice little extra for those who put in extra effort at rooms, probably also make some stuff easier to plan in terms of paying RP staff. Since it will probably be hard to measure how much comes in from what Xgold transactions?

Dear @Gizmo,

it was long time from "almost finished" to now, but I admit after all criticism you have done it in a reasonable time: December to May is not that bad. Thank you for that. 👍

See you in times of more criticism but for now thank you for having the job done you promised.

Thank you Feuermond! I've been reading your criticisms for a long time and with interest, as it's mostly justified. But now they deserve a compliment! Thanks for that!

I have read rumors about the fact that if you invite players into your room, your guests don't have to pay with xGold for Drinks and Cigarettes. I testet this and it didn't work. My guests had to pay for everything.

Is that a lot of work to change? Or reduce the prices to, let's say 10 XGold per item on the bill of the room owner. That would correspond more to my ideas of hospitality.

Thanks

Steve

Luv the additions. As always, blown away by the quality and quantity. Namely the clothes and body customizations. 

Although I'm not so sure the paying for these eating, drinking and smoking poses is that great of an idea. As cool as some of they are (and they are cool) I think it seems a bit harsh to pay for these 'mini poses'. I'd hate to see this trend further with us needing to spend 3dxcoin every time we 'money-shot' or make any other pose change.

I absolutely love what I'm seeing from Beta 3.0 so far. 

To the person that said XGold transfers are bad for the community, please explain how tf it's bad? 3DX will only benefit from a more involved micro-economy like other virtual games. 

I can't wait for these changes to make their way to the main server. Is there a time estimate at all?

I am not exactly the biggest fan of SexGameDevil and what they promise and what they do, or better do not, Gizmo can tell you, but even less I am fan of trolling, so with this you will get three answers in one if you do not change your style, the first one, the only one and the last one:

As long as you do not explain why it will break the community it is as good as my words: Gold tranfer will support the community for the better! So, you are wrong, sorry.

A mafia boss would request 10 % every day after the transfer. Again you are simply wrong.

This is not trolling, it is my an honest critique with a pinch of humor.

"Supporting the community?"
Do you realize so fare we have been already paying a subscription for a game that, if gets 2 major updates a year, it is already a miracle?

You really want to support the comM? Rise the subscription price, I will gladly pay for it!

Beside that, I say that Gold Transfer will break the community cause I had the same experience with other 3 adult games that introduced it.

Let me explain what will happen:

The game community will be split into 2, the biggest majority becoming basically a brothel of gold farming (these will be creating a farming escort avatar to farm gold on the back of other members, and even worse, these will push away newcomers from enjoying the true community aspect of this game, making them leave ), the smaller part of the community that is composed by what remains of the veterans of this game, that were here since day 1 like in my case, will stay only to enjoy the few old friends they have left here... untill they will leave too.

I might be wrong this time but, so far, this was my experience so far 3 times.
But we are all curious to see the result of it in few months from the release of the update.

;)

I encountered this, too. My wife didn't have to pay for the drinks, etc. and I didn't receive any money.
But that makes sense. When in RL you invite guests, you don't charge them. Only when you host a public event. And it's the same in 3DXC: only when you "share" a room, your guests have to pay. But not when you "invite" a person.
And I hope, too, that we can set the prices ourselves. I suggested a csv file that you can edit yourself with Excel or something.

Why don´t you add all ACTION to all sex? (Sit, Dance, Lie, etc)

Finally, you don´t have different genres, and each person decides what to go with his avatar.

And maybe you can do some with dick, not all time is hard, let each avatar decide when and how it is as you do with boobs.

I believe these are simple changes.

I have some guesses for you for I think the problem is caused by improper memory management within the editor. You can do nothing about it, that's completly up to SexGameDevil, but I have some hints which could help you to get it working anyway:

well, thanks for these well meant advices. But be assured that I always already do all of these measures.
I agree, that this must be a memory usage bug --- most likely to small scratch memory or faulty "garbage collection":
I also do not want to complain before the stabile version is out ... all i do that I mention that for the moment the problem is existing.

Works fine for me. I tried both Mixxx and my modified Media Monkey with Shoutcast and Icecast, without a single issue.

What url are you putting into the radio from Mixxx?

Agree. 3dxGold farming could become a real thing in our little sex game. It happens with most innocent free-to-play games. 'Warframe' for example... probably one of the most honest and well-run free games out there. But if you go into the trade chat it's a different story. In-game currency being swapped and sold for whatever as if the game has switched from space ninjas to Wall Street brokers.

My point is: this will change the way people play and our not-so-innocent game could become ugly. There might be a lot of members that will just use the trade as another form of gift for their lovers or friends, which is of sort of nice. but then, there will be others that will create some kind of market. Either by making a Brothel where you pay per lay or something more insidious like creating troll rooms by placing pay items all over the place or in usual walkways in an attempt to trick an uncareful clicker into purchasing a 'mini pose' they didn't expect. Or heck someone just asking for 3dxcoin for a bit of fun, then blocking as soon as they receive.

Quoting Stronos:

"Do you realize so fare we have been already paying a subscription for a game that, if gets 2 major updates a year, it is already a miracle?"

-We're already paying for the game. As awesome as the updates and additions are- They're really not a free service.

I am really sad and nervous about that xglold transfer new features.

It will for sure create brothel and at one point we will expect to receive tips..

Not sure what sort of add on it will bring to the game. Hope you really though of the potential damage it can cause. I expect newbies to see and think that they need to pay for sex. We may lose peoples. 

 

Tips for room or DJ would be nice as those peoples makes this game what it is. But i would not go further than that..

 

I just can think of a situation that a guy send tip before even try the cold... so embarrassing...

I dearly hope it wont kill the current mood of our game....

I have positive hopes for the gold transferring just because we have the subscription with 3DX. Everything is included with the subscription (clothes and poses) and there is no real reason to buy the gold at all. Now if someday they decided to make clothes or poses purchasable with gold then I'd have issue but beyond that I'm completely fine with the Dev's decision.

3.0V is great  ... but DEVS forgot to include "COFFEE" in the beverages which is in my opinion would be great if can still have it😀 ... Though yeah there are glitches in some items which can be easily fixed by DEVS

I registered with the 3dxChat Discord in December 2022. But it still won't let me post a message, although I have previously been verified to post messages. so I'm having to report a Beta test game bug here. I have spoken to other 3dx members (in-game) today, 27th May, and they also have the same new game bug.

Today at 12.30pm (UK time), when I launched my game I've now noticed that when I smoke any of the vapes, cigarettes and cigars, that when exhaling, the smoke effect animation does not work anymore. This latest Beta game bug also happens in any of the 3dxChat public rooms, as well as in my own room.

Hopefully Gizmo or his Dev team read this forum. 

As for the comments about the new xgold transfer to other members, I'm sure there will be many members who will be asking for xgold instead of the "gift icons" that you see on profiles. If there are any members that don't want to give others xgold for sex etc, then may I suggest staying away from these members. I have no problems with other members asking for the xgold. Although, I myself will not be asking for any xgold, and neither will I be asking other members who visit my room to purchase any of my drinks and food etc. 3dxChat is a virtual world where everybody can make their own choices, as in whether or not to give others xgold or purchase food and drinks etc in the rooms that they visit.

Hi Joanna, glad to see you have posted the bug here. Someone did reported the vape bug (wasn't me) on discord earlier today. Really sorry to hear you are still having those darn issues with the 3DXchat discord, just ugh! ☹️

I still fall through the floor next to complex objects, such as images generated by 3dxWorldPicture. Fix this error. The character must not fall through the floor to the ocean !!!😩

I have a simple quality of life request. Can we get the character limit on profiles increased? I've seen some awesome profile designs with the current limits, but it's a shame so much content is lost by the HTML tags and spaces to make the layouts appealing. Maybe we can boost the limit from 1,000 to around 1,500 or 2,000? And/or add the center tag? That might offset the text styling consumption of character. Either way, cheers on the update. Loving the direction so far!

I've noticed this a lot like when you have a bar too close to a wall making a narrow pathway. Just a bit of moving things helps

Still putting new poses on top I see making us spend so much time re-coding poses for the special poses we make... I've been asking you to change this for a long long time but you insist on messing up toys builders make.  Same with the clothing messing up the dance teams set outfits. I mean what do we pay for? to spend all our time re making outfit lists and re-coding our toys making more work for us? It's just RUDE!

Plus the partner teleport you say was a glitch that you got rid of. Again as a dancer we need it.

And thanks for making all kinds of useless stuff instead of trying to fix what we've all been complaining about SMH!  I see no changes at all with all the glitches, same old problems that never get fixed for your paying customers...
