The VRU Nexus : A return to the mega world. So I have been talking about this for a little while. during the Oasis 3 Architecture phase I decided to move away from doing a single mega world. The goal was to see how green the grass would be on the other side. So what have I learned exactly? I learned a lot actually. What I accomplished with a mega world is only possible with a mega world. Single world uploads are not feasible when it comes to working with a fairly large number of communities at once in real time. The time it takes to manage upload and make sure each world is functional and up to date is exponential. If you want to work with 10-15 communities each with their own worlds at the same time a mega world is absolutely necessary. The mega world model is more than just a world, its a convergence of communities. A properly setup mega world does a lot of leg work for cross promotion and cultivation. The mega world profit model is very good for the overall social VR community. The Community does not pay for their world, they typically get the world built for free and in return supporting the mega world creator manages regular upkeep and world changes.. The mega world model works like this. I build the infrastructure of the space. I provide quality worlds for communities for free. Then all I ask is for them to use the venue I provide at least two times a month. This creates network effect within the mega world structure. People can then support me on Patreon they by extension end up supporting a dozen+ communities within the social VR space. These communities can then utilize the network effect of the mega world to grow organically however they want. It can be a springboard for running things outside of the mega world or it can be part of the monthly routine. Both methods have advantages. This is a very good thing for the space and I feel like moving away from this model has been interesting. The main drawback of the mega world model has been performance. For awhile now I was unable to really solve this problem but now I actually believe that I have a solution for the performance problem! I have a completely new way to build worlds in VRChat utilizing text data as a method of world construction. This isn't a method of simply disabling game objects for sections of the world we are not inside of. This method makes it so everything about the world is stored in text data until it is needed. Once it is needed then it constructs that part of the world in real time. Functionally the world is identical to a single world upload but in practice it acts like a massive open world with tons of different locations. Not only do I have a new method of constructing the world, I have personally learned a lot about what is really important. I understand a lot more clearly what it is that really matters within the space. The VRU Nexus will be a mega world built from the ground up using cutting edge technology. It will reintroduce private residencies. It will have a much more feature complete in game world editor from the start. Every location will have a default setup of furniture that can be easily customized at any time. The VRU Nexus will be the next mega world and the technology it utilizes will push boundaries beyond anything remotely possible before without the same limitations. And this time I fully understand the goal and what is important out of the gate.

The VRU Nexus will be a complete return to the Oasis in terms of mega world design using technology that changes the shape of how worlds can be built for #VRChat. I want to go back to how it felt with the original Oasis and coordinate with various communities and go as hard as fucking possible. Customizable apartments, fully explorable world, tight more interconnected layout and a return to how it felt when everything was new. The mega world is making a return and its using some alien technology. I am pumped not only for tonight but what the very near future holds.

I am feeling anxiety right now. After seeing a social VR lobby with 250+ people at 40-90 FPS I am having to come to terms with how much better that is over VRChat. Does this mean VRChat is cooked? Honestly, normally I would have always said no. Something feels different about this time. Guys, I cant even maintain 20+ FPS in a lobby of 30 in VRC... Regardless of the world. VRChat is laggy as hell compared to Basis. Its not even comparable. The difference is fucking insane... Maybe it wont matter? Maybe things can keep trucking along in spite of this glaring contrast. From what I know there are 4 known platforms in the works using Basis framework and I only know about NexVR because I am extremely close on the development of that one. The other 3 platforms are not public. All its going to take is 1 of these 4 platforms to be good enough. The social VR space is about to experience disruption. If VRChat does not hit its stride with a big update to brings on par with basis then we might see the first actual big migration of the adult community. I don't see VRChat dying but I DO think the adult 18+ rave / dance scene is likely to splinter if they are not careful.

I just got out of the load test with #BasisVR I have a lot to talk about but this picture contains 210 avatars fully visible all packed into a decent sized space at 40-50 FPS on max settings. To say this is impressive is an understatement.

I've been playing around in @BasisVR and made a minecraft style world generator. There's an upcoming load test where they're going to fit 1500 players in one instance. I highly recommend attending you'll be blown away if vrc is all you've played. Details in comments!

I had about 20-30 FPs with roughly 3400 simulated connected clients in the test lobby today in #BasisVR

I am not sure what the actual cause might be but #VRChat is objectively more laggy now and it only started happening in the last few weeks. This is in all worlds I visit. I suspect its either changes to the game by the devs or avatars are just worse.

Voidfall Friday tonight! <3 Tune in and come dance! 💜 twitch.tv/chimera_ix 💚 kick.com/chimera-ix ❤️ piped.video/@Chimera_IX 🌐 vrc.group/MERA.1349 👤 VRC - Chimera IX #VRChat #VRChatDJ #DJ
