I think that the open part of the metaverse needs to be code and legal before aestetic. Mostly because skin mesh animation is the hardest part of game dev. because of pipeline costs and code complexity. The Roblox solution looks terrible; b

But why does it have to load dynamically, when you can just package releases instead?

The HTTP of VR is HTTP! http://fuse.rupy.se/about.html You also need a P2P protocol (probably some binary UDP thing) for tick based data like limb positions if you want body language. But really VR is much less important fo

I stopped at OpenGL (ES) 3 that has VAO (the last meaningful feature, internal improvements omitted, those can come later behind the scenes), Vulkan only scales the embarrasingly parallel stuff which does not impact gameplay. (Mostly visual

Because that's what we see evolve? From Everquest to PUBG which are the two only adult evolvers. You can tell by looking at what they changed by how copied they became. And Minecraft and Roblox which are the young evolvers. Nobody has

Yes, but my game will have real modeled characters with silky smooth AAA animations, and still scale! Roblox and Minecraft could only build the future by spending less time on fidelity, hence the awkward animations and "ugly" char

The PS5 is basically a paper weight with these electricity prices. So what happens when these kids grow up and don't have to nag their parents?

My 3D MMO engine can now have 2000 non-instanced animated characters each with an interchangeable item equipped at 60 FPS without a world on a 1050Ti (80W GPU). My target is to keep that number above 1000 when the world + physics is in. On

It's the natural evolution of the internet as a medium. Technology is always born without content and leeches off older technologies content. Theater -> Books Music -> Radio Books + Radio -> Movies Movies + Books -> TV Movi

Realism is not the goal. Freedom is the goal. The hero movies hollywood keeps churning out make no sense in a meatspace world where you can build, own and be god; in your own virtual world. The goal is to build the real matrix (or oasis, th

They should probably add that merely adding yet another protocol centralizes things. Implementing them takes time and you need many implementations for the protocols themselves to become de-centralized. This is what breaks most new protocol

Also the metaverse is meaningless, what we need is action (as I said; super mario galaxy, but 1000s of players) and the current definition of metaverse talks more about virtual things and economies. And now since Zuckerberg is cybersquattin

Well, until you give me a counter argument, I just proved it is! The physical world is shrinking in every metric possible and it's accelerating. The only way to escape it is through virtualisation, the kids are allready living there.

It requires much less energy, and we need to virtualize life completely, only food, sleep and toilet will be in meatspace, everything else will be a open (so you can modify and resell) action (think super mario galaxy) 3D MMO with 1000s of

Twitch is not for news! It serves only two purposes: entertainment and community. Large streamers have humor, but chat is completely meaningless with them. Small streamers (mostly gamedev) are the community that is meaningful. It's sur

I think you are confusing Java and the tools built on top of Java. I only code with JavaSE and only use 2 external dependencies (original json and dns4j, both minimalist and written by one man each), that said Java probably has the leanest

You need one server in each region, but centrally in each region. In europe there are maybe 20 actors for each of the many central countries (Germany, Belgium and Switzerland)... in the US there are only 2 (that I could find that allows me

Well yes electricity is the medium, but the media still has importance. I think my comment would be more logical if you replace medium with media? Learned something new today: https://www.shmoop.com/grammar/spelling&#x2

Twitch is the evolution of YouTube and Twitch has an open-source competitor, the question is rather why is nobody using the competition? Look at Mixer, and in specific Shrouds transition to Mixer. Almost nobody followed him there. When he c
