  1. I think this is a great project and wish there were more worlds like the one you are creating, or have created.  It's a shame 3DX does not have a younger user community because I believe younger users who have grown up with open world games find pleasure in just exploring and seeing what cool features they can find.  One of my favorites has been the Zen Island where you could easily spend a few hours exploring the main island and then swimming out to the adjacent island.  I have created an open world I call The Village that is available on 3DX Sharing and my experience has been that 3DX worlds will never have a huge Second Life like community, but its a lot of fun to just do RP get togethers with a few friends.  Good luck!!!!!!!

    BTW - you are welcome to use any of the structures from The Village for your project.

  2. No one likes the idea of a 3DX Yelp-like feature, which is cool with me cause I did not expect any one would.  But, from my discussions, here are a couple of interesting insights.  One person told me the story about how they had a group of players they thought were friends who appreciated their sarcasm.  However, one of them confronted them and explained that the people whom they thought were friends thought they were obnoxious and merely tolerated them.  This person said this prompted them to change their behavior and it was eye-opening how people started to treat them differently, and this transferred over to RL, as well.

    The other was a suggestion that a Yelp-like feature would be better applied with rooms, since there is a huge disparity between rooms that people put a lot of work into developing and creating a great experience, and others that people throw up on a whim, and new players in particular, don't appreciate the difference witht he currently room listing.

    Thank you all for your comments.

  3. This will be controversial, but worth thinking about.  What if there was a 3DX Yelp-like feature so that players could rate and review their experiences with other players.  The goal would not be to punish under-performing players, but a mechanism to enable players to better understand what other players like and don't like about them.  Obviously, would want nothing anonymous, and there would certainly be drama - but among some players the game is already packed with day-to-day drama.  I envision at the bottom of a players profile there would be an average rating and a timeline so that could see if a player is getting better over time, and a chance to read reviews from other players.  This already kinda happens with the gifts.  PLEASE don't burn me alive for making the suggestion.  Just an idea that I thought could generate useful discussion.

  4. 1) What 3DXChat features do you like?

    I have played other social simulation games like Second Life and nothing compares to 3DXChat.  There is something about having the ability to be intimate and have sex with a partner that even if only a part of your play, makes for a very different experience.  It is a world built for realizing fantasies and I believe my favorite part of the game is finding interesting and unique places with my partner to explore and to be intimate.  It is a fantastic source of escapism.

    I'll also add that the world builder is super simple, but still very powerful.  In RL, I work with Unreal Engine to build worlds for gaming and VR experiences.  I frequently use the 3DXChat world builder as a sandbox to throw ideas together quickly, and show my in-game friends to get their reaction and critique, before investing the time to build the same thing in Unreal Engine.

    2) What would you say to people who haven't played 3DXChat yet?

    If sexually you are somewhat vanilla like me, do not be turned off by those areas of the community where people are exploring sexual experiences that are lurid and on the fringes.  It is very easy to ignore those aspects of the game and keep to areas that are in your comfort zone.  Likewise, players are mostly very respectful of each others boundaries and accepting of one another.  There are some players who are total assholes and have no appreciation for the fact that there are real people on the other side of the avatars.  However, this is true of any online gaming platform and they are easy to ignore.

  5. I have a club in an underground setting with beautiful visuals that combine features of a cave with lighting, water and other effects. I'm looking for a club owner who would like to partner with a builder.  I will do continued development and branding, and help organize club events.  But, would like to find club owner willing to take responsibility for the vision and operations of the club.  My goal is to create a premier 3DXChat venue, and would like to find a partner with whom I can work to realize this goal.

  6. Your rooms are fantastic.  Thanks for sharing.  I used the Medieval Inn as a starting point to construct and Irish Pub that the guests at our St Pats Day party thought looked fantastic.  You are an incredible builder.  Please keep sharing.

     

  7. Is there any chance that we might see better support for VR.  I have tried to play the game in VR.  It's fun experiencing everything in 3D at first, but quickly becomes tiresome.  With some minor improvements, 3DXChat could be an incredible VR experience, although I admit, I'm not sure how you would get the chat to work well without a virtual keyboard and I've not seen one that I've found that impressive - but, it could be out there.  Nonetheless, a few simple suggestions:

    - Enable movement using the stick on the Oculus hand controller

    - Provide a mechanism to easily dock the menu so it can be placed to one side or the other out of the forward line of sight

    - Map the F5, F6 and F7 functions to the buttons on the Oculus hand controller so can switch out of first person

    These could all be done easily with UE, although I don't know enough about Unity to know how easy or hard it might be.

    Thanks - you guys are awesome just giving us what you've given us already....

     

  8. I'd love to be able to create simple animations for objects - nothing too crazy - just specify a start and end point (assume straight line to keep it simple), and define a trigger and duration.  I work with Unreal Engine regularly and have been able to create some amazing effects with very simple animations.

    While I'm at it, I'd love to see more primitives. 

    A text tool would be nice too.

    Thanks, I know a lot of people complain about this and that, but I'm a huge fan of the World Editor.  Good work!!!

  9. I'm back again.  Schools out and I have a few weeks without much to do.  It is soooo boring living through The Big SUCK.  Currently, I'm fixated on creating my own world.  What can I say about it - think Alice in Wonderland.  My creative expressions always seem to go in that direction.

     

  10. Hi

    Sorry if I'm asking a naive question.  I've been looking through the forums and have gone through all the tutorials and have found nothing that explains how to stream music into your world, although it is obviously possible and many people are doing it.  I'd be grateful if someone could provide me with the basic how to's or point me top a tutorial or other instructions.  Thanks sooo much....

  11. Played for a while tonight, but being a bit stressed about RL, was not in a mood to connect with anyone and mostly stayed to myself.  A friend let me borrow his VR headset. I liked getting to experience the worlds in 3D, but they need to do a lot of work on the controls before I'd want to regularly play in VR.  I'd say that for now, it's a cool novelty, but that's all.

  12. This forum has become a perfect distraction.  It gets my mind off of school for a few minutes here and there and lets me resist the temptation to jump in game.  I am so behind with school, and its only two weeks till the end of the term.  MESSAGE TO SELF:  Don't let this happen again.  PS: Listen to me this time.  It doesn't help that I've felt like shit the past couple of days.  It's a good time to hide in my bedroom all day - both in the real and virtual worlds.

     

     

  13. I absolutely have to take off a few days.  I have two major school assignments that I have not even started and one of them is due in a couple of days.  But,  if I've got to take a break, last night was a perfect way to leave off.  I met LuckyGeorge shortly after I got to the Opal Club.  We went to this bar where they had robot bartenders and hung out there by ourselves dancing for the next couple of hours taking turns picking songs for us to listen to together.  He was fabulous.  I've only been on 3DXChat a few weeks, but the experience last night was sooo much better than any of the other guys I've been with here.  Now, I know why I'm doing this.
