    Doing so would be problematic
  • @FlameSoulis #42677 03:43 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    updating NCR honestly really isn't an issue right now. Frankly, I'm not even sure why there'd be a concern to even touch it if it's remaining functional, unless there was a desire to do a full fork of both the platform and its financial system... but there was hardly a tie to begin with, so nothing is exactly lost if one or the other collasped
  • @orcbull #42678 03:46 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    it'd need to be done to transfer ownership if Karel resigns or whatever is implied he's gonna do
  • @FlameSoulis #42679 03:47 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    then.... okay? Then wouldn't the snapshot be taken when he resigns? Even then, not like the dev team or the new magical CEO would get the wallet file, unless it was marked as company property
  • why wouldnt they?
  • @FlameSoulis #42681 03:57 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    Considering it's been more than a year, the 'lord and savior' of this channel hasn't even consulted a lawyer, nor has talked to the team regarding any form of negotiations (if the last outburst is to go by), I wouldn't hold it against them to follow protocol with the transfer of assets correctly, let alone the fact of there being multiple entities of which it could (or could not) be located under
  • @Gamethecupdog #42682 05:46 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    Why did NCR need to be so tightly integrated with neos anyways? Wouldn't have having it as an addon be better for allowing user choice? That's what I thought NCR was supposed to be treated as when someone explained it to me the first time.
  • @FlameSoulis #42683 05:47 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    I can't speak on behalf of the devs, but...
  • @FlameSoulis #42684 05:48 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    In a nutshell, that was the proposal given when all this stuff started to go south and no agreement could be made. By creating a finances API of sorts, it'd allow other services to be possible, with NCR being dubbed the 'official' add-on for NeosVR's financial system, or something to the lines of that
  • @Gamethecupdog #42685 05:48 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    That's what I thought it was gonna be
  • @FlameSoulis #42686 05:49 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    however, as it stands, it's hardly tied in at all. If ETH's entire system went into a blazing infernal, taking all the token systems along with it, NeosVR would still function just fine.
  • @Gamethecupdog #42687 05:50 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    Fair. I just wish I could have been able to choose not to contribute to the NCR market with my Patreon sub
  • @FlameSoulis #42688 05:51 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    I mean, you can opt out, but I'd strongly advise against that. Part of the reason is because the NCR you receive can be used to increase your storage space further, even if you drop the patreon rankings
  • @ManagerGamingMedia #42689 06:17 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    None
  • @FlameSoulis #42690 11:38 AM, 17 Apr 2023
    Tracked keyboard worked great. Just wish there was a better way to detect user clicks.
  • It's not tightly integrated.

    The reason it's a thing to begin with is to help fund Neos development.

    It's been being sold to users since 2018 or something, and serves several purposes. So when you push that it should be some third party addon it's kind of inconsiderate to all of those users who put their money into Neos.

    If you don't want to interact with NCR, just play with the Steam client or ignore it on standalone which is extremely easy to do.
  • @orcbull #42692 02:28 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    when people suggest NCR be a third-party addon, lets call it what it is: the half-thoughtless suggestion from motivated anti-crypto advocates.
  • I did not put money into NCR, but I did put time into it
    A whole month of work during MMC22 and I end up with storage tokens (which is fine) instead of usable currency
    of course the spirit of a competition should not fall on the idea of prize money, but the anticipation of a large reward disappearing under your nose is a bit of a discouragement
    really the failure of NCR would be the only reason so many people would want it third party in the first place: why would you want a direct connection of that to your platform? Not to add to everything else that Neos and the team are under so far
    everyone got crossed, I've given up on it and I as well as others notice this and want it sidelined
  • @sctanf86 #42694 02:56 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    even then, this falls under a personal feeling i suppose
    if you still think ncr can succeed, that's up to you
  • Why fund a project with something that could lose its value in days? Like, if it had mechanisms to prevent that it'd be different, but, y'know, the NCR crash.
  • I mean, I used, bought and sold NCR for commission work in Neos, so I’m not anti crypto, I used it for the very purpose it was made for. I’m just antagonised by this thing and the stalemate attached to it that I just want it gone.

    It could of worked.

    It didn’t work.

    Strip it out and move on.

    I want the project to live and thrive, and I’m happy to have NCR dragged out into third party or whatever for that to continue without this total halt.
  • ncr alone, not really; but the eth used to mint ncr, yes
    who knows where all that has gone, though
    by now the only funding is the neos patreon that helps keep the servers alive
    along with the rest of the neos team putting in seemingly countless hours into keeping neos running, a truly dead platform would be barely usable a year in and it's been two
  • @Gamethecupdog #42698 03:05 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Fair
    Karel has given an impossible ultimatum. He can't seriously think anyone would come to replace him with neos in its current state.
  • the thing is, no one needs to replace him
    there is not necessarily any person that needs to fill that role, if i remember correctly it's been mentioned already that the neos team as a whole can perform all of his responsibilities
  • @sctanf86 #42700 03:11 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    not that i know any better besides surface-level assumptions
  • @Gamethecupdog #42701 03:12 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    That too, and if someone replaces him we could have this whole situation all over again depending on who shows up
  • @sctanf86 #42702 03:14 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    blegh, I don't want to care about this situation any longer, I'm going to go cry staring at logix instead
  • @orcbull #42703 04:02 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    how would killing NCR help Neos in any way other than help you personally get this weird emotional closure you feel you need?
  • @orcbull #42704 04:02 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    "Id like other people to get thrown out with the dishwater so I can move on" lol
  • @orcbull #42705 04:05 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    NCR didn't fail, it was just attacked in crossfire by the team and its own community. The devs threw the NCR holders under the bus by dragging them into the drama between them and Karel when NCR has absolutely nothing to do with that.
  • @orcbull #42706 04:09 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I personally think NCR works fine, you can use it to tip people still and its there for those who want to experiment or build with it. It works -because- its a feature inside of Neos
  • @FlameSoulis #42707 04:11 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    *sigh* here we go again....
  • @AdiusKitty #42708 04:12 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I can’t, I’m not going to get involved.

    I don’t care if it stays or goes. I just want this unique and lovely project and community to get some lifeblood back.

    I will agree to disagree and leave it at that, Orc.
  • ok.. you don't care either way, but just wanted to say you disagree. Got it.
  • @orcbull #42710 04:20 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    It seems lots of people want to post how they don't really care about this thing, yet want it to be removed from those who do care.

    Then they try to manifest reasons why or vaguely gaslight with "it failed, time to pack it up" and hope the devs see their thoughtless comments and agree (and probably do).
  • @orcbull #42711 04:23 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Im here to disagree and show that some of us still want it in Neos, still believe in our own decentralized currency in a metaverse, and still want respect for those people who pit their money in for years, thinking they were funding Neos, and still believe it would be a beautiful thing if those people eventually got rewarded when(if) Neos gets bigger.
  • @FlameSoulis #42712 04:28 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The problem is that the one person who could be making such arrangements is also as present as a blue moon. The team is aware that many people have funded it via NCR, and that some people were even drawn to Neos because of it. A full removal had to be done on the Steam build, which was the primary way to get the title until they were forced to modify their professional build for normal use.
    Additionally, crypto has had a lot of negative light attached to it, is the common source of many current scams, and has a fluxuating value so unstable, it's useless in trade. This has led to many potential users from other platforms (not just VRChat) decline outright due to concerns or troubled pasts.
    Despite all that, it was proposed to create a financial API to keep it a part of Neos, and would allow other systems to be developed as well by proxy. This means NCR would be moved down to a plug-in, which may seem like a downgrade... but at this time, it's disabled for the majority of users (again, Steam Build) and for those who DO have it active... are they honestly using the parts that make it work every day? Again, NCR is so loosely tied to the platform, you can snip it off and- oh wait, it's called the Steam build.
  • @FlameSoulis #42713 04:30 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    So... I don't know about you, but a plug-in system that could potentially give NCR even more integration support, and other systems as well? Sounds like a good deal...
    Just too bad someone who isn't here 99% of the time has no interest with this path, and will feed his minions whatever they want to hear, unless it's "I want out, please send emails to a rebounding inbox."
  • @FlameSoulis #42714 04:34 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Let's be real: How the <REDACTED> did I go from almost $1200, to $22k, to now $200, in the timespan of a few months, and only having a SINGLE transaction under my belt? Who the heck would even want to try and use that as a form of payment if having even a sliver makes you magically god overnight?
  • @FlameSoulis #42715 04:36 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    So, trust in the system? Yeah, it's basically dead. Having an offering to have it available via a side system is basically as fair as it gets, and offers improvements that aren't available right now.
  • Thats easy to answer. Because the devs went hostile against it and how can any asset not collapse when the people who are supposed to at the very least maintain it turn against their own funders for no reason? You expect crypto holders to hold onto it? The only people who are holding it are actual Neos natives. Those are the only people left that you want to throw under the bus.

    Those who've been involved in crypto know that they go through booms and busts that leave the asset higher in value pre-boom, but that that comes at the cost of aspectacle in price movement. NCR would still be higher than it was pre-boom if it wasn't for the uncertainty where the general feeling the room gets is that the devs might remove it to make people like you happy for a day.

    If you want an example, look at MANA on coinmarketcap or something, which also got a 90% drawdown woth the rest of the market, but still weeathered it 10x better than NCR did and is at a higher baseline than it was before its price boom. Thats unfortunately how markets work cycles work, if not abit more exaggerated in a VERY illiquid low-market cap coin like NCR.

    NCR did worse because of the hostility and honestly, probably illegal behavior from multiple angles.
  • @orcbull #42717 04:52 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    and like I dont get it about this proposed financial API.... There's so much shit that gets "proposed" for Neos, lol. What you really mean is "devs dont want responsibility for this anymore"

    The idea that after everyone gave money to Neos they should be relegated to a mod that might happen is just insulting. It's a non-solution born from a childish mind or one that didn't know that NCR's chain could be forked and supported by Froox's team.

    If you want to just say any other currency can work in Neos then that's also bad for thr holders. What do you think would happens if a much more widely used foreign currency was set up alongside a smaller countries native currency? You'd get Argentina aka misery for everyone who has Pesos.
  • @FlameSoulis #42718 04:52 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    *sigh* the devs going 'hostile' thing has been disproven so many times, I'll be blue to the face if I have to keep saying it, and everyone else is surely tired of wasting oxygen mentioning it...
  • @orcbull #42719 04:53 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The devs themselves publicly said they don't want to deal with it. That kind of led people to need to aide with Karel.
  • @orcbull #42720 04:54 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I mean, they kibd of dragged their funders into the feud for no reason instead of simply saying "ncr holders have nothing to do with this internal issue. We'll continue to take care of them and support them regardless of what happens"
  • @orcbull #42721 04:55 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    instead they softly set it up as a us-vs-crypto situation where its implied if Karel wins they'll be okay, and if Froox wins they'll be thrown out
  • @FlameSoulis #42722 04:56 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    well, asside from the fact that uh... the "uS-vS-cRyPtO" thing was due to a certain thing called VALVE
  • @FlameSoulis #42723 04:56 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    where it LITERALLY was
  • @FlameSoulis #42724 04:58 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Listen, you can talk fairy tales until pixey dust is the only remaining substance of the world, but for someone who seems to know a lot about "ThE nAtIvEs," boy you have no clue.
    Virtually everyone was excited to see Neos kick off, even if the reason was... a bit concerning. Overall, people who were long term supporters were getting their NCR to a higher value, and receiving what felt like a payoff.
    Then Karel released an announcement that was a shock to LITERALLY everyone, INCLUDING the dev team, who wasn't even aware of the important message. The only reason I even found out was thanks to an announcement made in-world by the Neos managing bot (or whatever that thing is), and it started to divide EVERYTHING from there
  • @orcbull #42725 04:58 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The Valve thing was before NCR even boomed in price
  • @orcbull #42726 04:59 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    That was fine, its great even. Most users dont even need to see NCR if they dont want to. Shouldnt everyone already be satisfied if they don't like it?
  • @FlameSoulis #42727 05:00 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    hiding something and not being there are two different things. People are not stupid; if you hide something, it doesn't dismiss the fact it is involved. Look at Discord groups who changed administration tools all because of when they added crypto support.
  • @orcbull #42728 05:01 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The shit between Karel and Team was internal, didnt start with an annoucnement. Unless you mean the moment he hired Andrea and people felt he was trying to take reigns.
  • @orcbull #42729 05:02 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Or you mean old annoucnements where Karel was trying to "manage" NCR with annoucing and then canceling a burn. Which, fair enough, if you ask me that was the start of shit going south
  • @FlameSoulis #42730 05:04 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Mostly the latter... that's when I definitely saw people on the platform just acting like everything turned into a funeral.
  • who. cares? The masses are against all sorts of things. ETH doesn't use POW anymore and just because spmething is unpopular or makes dimwits huffy doesnt make it bad. Gay marriage was reviled by most people for a long ass time, lmao

    Oh... do not flunking go there...
  • @Floximo #42733 05:05 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Well, the *shit* between the Team and Karel started as an overreach of Karel and over-protective behaviour of the Team, clashed in a breakup caused by loss in trust and is now in a stale mate.
  • @Floximo #42734 05:05 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    There is no magic history about that, its just how it is.
  • @orcbull #42735 05:06 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Well I can agree with that, that All the attempts to manage ncr with burns, buybacks, etc were bad. NCR shouldve just been left alone. Supported but no "managing" to try to raise its value. thats my belief atleast
  • @Floximo #42736 05:07 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Well i can agree with that. The idea of any crypto currency is that there is no trust required.
  • @Floximo #42737 05:07 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    And as such also no management.
  • @Floximo #42738 05:08 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Any trying to mix and match will always be negativ.
  • @orcbull #42739 05:08 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    karel's take was that he needed to actively manage and foster it. I mean maybe someone veru experienced in marketmaking couod have succceeded, but not by making annoucnements etc
  • @orcbull #42740 05:09 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    but no one asked for him to do that
  • @FlameSoulis #42741 05:09 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    More or less... and with the rate of how much minting was going on, even with adjustments, it would have been a steady progress. Sure, NCR returns from Patreon would dip but not sure how that's an issue if it is to match the value of the tier.
    I know that having the currency handle itself is what usually gives it an appeal to many. It becomes its own kindred spirit in a way.
  • @Floximo #42742 05:10 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I mean to be perfectly honest, the moment it started to go "to the moon" it was immediatly clear that it was overvalued
  • @Floximo #42743 05:10 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Considering the amount of users and the attached "in development"

  • @orcbull #42748 05:13 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    that was like during peak enthusiasm about it
  • @Floximo #42749 05:13 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I could not be happier if NCR succeedes, but while i think Karel brought much to Neos in the past, expecially with his knowledge of VR and its hardware, sadly he is now a roadblock. I don't mean that in a mean way. Perhaps i am wrong and he can just give a version of neos to a group of programmer he hires to make this an amazing product, but my personal bet would be still on "the team" or an extension of that. Not because they are unquestionable better at their job, but because they really care about this, way more then a job ever does.
  • @Floximo #42750 05:14 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    And in the end NCR is connected to the future of Neos or one of its products. Its the interest of the people in it.
  • @FlameSoulis #42751 05:15 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    and people who were drawn in during this time from the crypto crowd were also of a different mindset. This resulted in actual new pushes to make the system do things that no one else really bothered trying yet. I still remember the Bitcoin Museum and people trying to get the CPU scaling system to work, so that the server would expand and contract resources based on demand, a service I wasn't even familiar with and found the idea of rather neat, aside from the fact the world itself was also very well made and informative

    how is Karel a roadblock? he personally secured funding for neos, allowed all of it to exist, and I suppose it costed him a lot of effor and stress. now, when neos gained traction and got stable patreon income, he can be tossed away like a piece of a trash, as he is no longer needed?

  • @Floximo #42772 05:32 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The only thing that is worth the ongoing fight is the software, that noone wants to give to the other side and they both own half. Karel thinks its owned by the company, but that company is not capable of acting. And Froox thinks its his alone, because he made it, but thats obviously also not entirely true. Its a total roadblock

  • @Gamethecupdog #42777 06:33 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The reason I'm against NCR is how volatile it is. Even if it comes back, what's stopping the whole market crash from happening again? Volatility leads to uncertainty. If NCR is aiming for longevity, it *can't* be this volatile. How do you propose such a catastrophic event be prevented while NCRs management is "hands off"?
  • @Floximo #42778 06:41 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I think people confuse crypto with money. Crypto currencies are an commodity or wares. They stand for something, limited. You can't stabilize it by printing more of it or removing some from the market on demand, you can't really integrated a system the requires a stable currency. Thats why crypto has stable coins... to create a easy accessable gate between commodity and currency
  • @Floximo #42779 06:46 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    At some point, if the market of a coin gets big enough, it gets more stable, but even bitcoins are not there yet, and they probably never will be. Doesn't mean its worthless. It stands for a particular idea and limited resource that can't be easily taken away from you. Its valuable as such.
  • @Gamethecupdog #42780 06:58 PM, 17 Apr 2023

  • @FlameSoulis #42781 07:00 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I think the other issue with NCR is the same issue with all 'tokens:' they're all required to deal with ETH, another currency, just to manipulate
  • @FlameSoulis #42782 07:00 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    So if I have to have ETH to do anything with NCR... then why not just use ETH?

    Because it works without trust, as in, its an actual thing that can be (mathematically) proven. While money is based on trust in an entity, a state. NCR was created at a point where the project (neos) didn't had any money. They gave out this utility coin as a thank for for supporting it and people realized that if neos has a great future, so does NCR. As such, while they developers could not give anything of value as a thank you... in case of success, the ones helping the project would be having a payback for supporting it
  • @Floximo #42784 07:03 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Similar how you can give you limited edition coinage, that are ultimatly only worth its metal, until other people want them and it is a limited commodity
  • @Floximo #42785 07:03 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    ... minus the metal
  • @Alex_A_avali #42786 07:07 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Wow activity 😮
  • @FlameSoulis #42787 07:07 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The thing is, on paper, it makes sense, but in practice... eh....
    The thing is that logically speaking, people who were in Neos thought about selling, but decided to hold because the value could go up. Then when it plumetted, there then came a divide where some sold, feeling the value will never recover, and others weren't sure if they even could (again, you need ETH).
    In the end, crypto just encourages hoarding, which isn't really worthwhile if you plan to use it for any kind of exchange, especially since people's speculation of its value is what ultimately destroyed it.
  • @Gamethecupdog #42788 07:08 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The worth of these mathematically proven coins can and do change on an exponential scale, for a project like neos that needs longevity in its worth that seems like really bad tides.
  • @Floximo #42789 07:10 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    You can think about crypto currency both ways. I mean there is no such big difference between an ingame currency and a crypto currency... short of that the ingame currency is not actually tengiable
  • @FlameSoulis #42790 07:11 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I think that also highlights the bigger divide as well: NCR was to be a reward token, a payoff as thanks for supporting the platform's development.
    Then Karel wanted to burn its remaining mint to get on exchanges more quickly, or hold stakes to improve longlasting values... he wanted NCR to become a currency and no longer a token of generosity.
    So, yes, NCR was a happy little token of Thanks. Then it wasn't. I mean, look at all the lemmings of this chat going "MOOON? NCR ON DEEX WHEN? VALUE SUX, WANT UPS NOWZ. LOST ALL DA MONEYS"
  • @Floximo #42791 07:11 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    In its most basic form no mather if ingame currency or crypto currency, it will be horded and speculated on.
  • @Floximo #42792 07:15 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    But the reason that, for a game, an ingame currency can still be an advantage, is that you can make it stable. Stable coins for example work by giving out as much tokens as the stabilized currency is hold back in exchange. In pure theory, if you get a stable coin $ its backed by a real $.
  • @Floximo #42793 07:16 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    NCR is nothing like that, it is limited in its amount what makes it worth it and has a system of getting "generated" or really just diseminated
  • @Floximo #42794 07:16 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    If the owners of neos would give out 1 for... 1$ each, that could work or suddenly every single coin be gone and they could not give out coins anymore
  • @Floximo #42795 07:17 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    So its limited nature is the worth, but also why it would have great problems as an actual ingame currency. So it will stay a commodity
  • @FlameSoulis #42797 07:23 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Or, better yet...

    Just accept NCR is dead. It is gone. It is deceased. It is no longer of this world.

    And trying to fluff up stories and concepts and "Look at the pretty graphs" is going to fix anythign about it.
    The whole reliance on a system that is reliant on another system thing isn't holding itself up very well, not a day goes by that crypto isn't the butt-end of a joke, and while it COULD have all worked, based on concepts and ideas, the human element basically showed how much it didn't.

    If you use a stablecoin system, sure, it'll be effectively locked to a known value. But at the same time... do you really need to be using a blockchain system at that point? Sure, you could run in a federated state, which would keep performance costs FAR lower, but then again... you could just use a simple database... like everyone else...

    If people really want a crypto version of Neos that badly, having an option to still use it has always been on the table. But everyone just wants ALL the way or NO way, and some people want MONEY or VALUABLE ASSETS. You can't have both, only something in the middle.
  • @Floximo #42798 07:25 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    In the end it doesn't mather that much. Again, crypto isn't the reason why neos is in a coma. The only reason are two people in this world, there is nothing outside of that. If they finally decide how to split up, all of that stuff will fall into place. Its really the small stuff.
  • @FlameSoulis #42799 07:27 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    And I love how every cryptojabrony keeps dodging the taxes situation. The US government views it as AN INVESTMENT, as basically GAMBLING, and it's a system that is on top of another system, and I don't even want to think on how you handle a stock that, in itself, costs OTHER KINDS OF STOCK to even manipulate and move. How the HECK does that work when I report on my taxes? "Hi, yes, I made $50, but it cost me $25 just to sell it to make $50, which I received back when it was worth $10. Is that a gain of $40 or $15?"

  • @Floximo #42807 07:41 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    What i wanted to say, and was lost because of NoPig... lets PRETEND the code of neos is no longer valuable for one side after all this time. Lets say froox, that did write most of the code, made a redo and new version of his vision. Just because you did take 10 years the first time around doesn't mean you need that time again if you already know how it works. Most of the works in neos is based on the knowledge on how it works, less the amount of lines of code. So pretend he did rewrite a new version of neos and says "f... it".
    Is the name neos really what made it worth it? Or anything that neos is now for that mather? Or is it about the CEO of neos and keeping it running? The crypto currency? No, in the end that all doesn't mather
  • @Gamethecupdog #42808 07:41 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    The functionality of neos is what gave it it's worth
  • @Gamethecupdog #42809 07:42 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    If froox decides to rebuild from the ground up, I'm going to ditch "neos" in favor of whatever ends up being made
  • @FlameSoulis #42810 07:43 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Yup. More or less same here. That or I'll just go to a platform with basically equal building functions, and just spin up a Neos flavored UI remix for things like the inspector and what not.
  • @FlameSoulis #42811 07:44 PM, 17 Apr 2023

  • @Gamethecupdog #42812 07:44 PM, 17 Apr 2023

    That too, but nothing like that exists as of yet. I'm waiting... But...
  • @FlameSoulis #42813 07:45 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Overte is the closest with similar freedoms. It's been getting refined over a long period of time, and I've been curious to see how things have progressed
  • @FlameSoulis #42814 07:46 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    oh, and active development. That's another plus.
  • @Floximo #42815 07:50 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Yea, seams nice. I have not seen it yet but i feel like what made neos so exceptional was the way you could drag&drop everything in.
  • @Floximo #42816 07:51 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I mean, perhaps i have to look at it, but i do wish there would be some move of neos
  • @FlameSoulis #42817 07:54 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Agreed. Neos's focus on easier user creation is a major criteria. I'm not sure Overte solved those at all... though it might also be that no one has asked for a solution.
    A large hurdle is that there is no cloud storage from what I understand... so it'd have to operate in a sort of Mastodon approach
  • @Floximo #42818 07:54 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    And that you are able to actually work on every detail of the game while being inside of it. Modify the avatar of a new player or yourself, show off some video, pictures, models you work on
  • @Floximo #42819 07:55 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Thats whats so exceptional on neos i think.
  • @FlameSoulis #42820 07:56 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    yeah. Asset viewing in the Overte engine I recall was doable, but avatars are handled as their own entity type entirely, rather than as an in-world object, so it isn't possible at the same level. However, attachments, could technically work
  • @FlameSoulis #42821 07:59 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I haven't dabbled with the newer systems, but I know the core engine is open source and customizable... so it's just a case of finding ways to recreate certain features. For example, if pasting a YouTube URL, having something recreate the process of making a media player recreation
  • @Floximo #42822 08:00 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    I mean from what i see you have really good and easy control of the stuff that runs and a nice debug and content access of any kind... but people already think neos is complicated
  • @Floximo #42823 08:00 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    This is, at its current state... the mastadon... or... linux... of vr systems
  • @Floximo #42824 08:01 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Powerful, but inaccessable by most
  • @FlameSoulis #42825 08:02 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    yeah. In a sense, it'd need a Linux Mint coat of paint to remedy some issues... or at least aspire to get as close as you can with SteamOS (the current one, not the... older one...)
  • @Alex_A_avali #42826 08:56 PM, 17 Apr 2023

  • @Alex_A_avali #42827 08:57 PM, 17 Apr 2023

  • @Alex_A_avali #42828 08:58 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Unless there is a neos alternative by then
  • @FlameSoulis #42829 09:44 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    At this point, the feature distances are only different by accessibility, with Neos holding the highest accessibility by far to the advanced features.
  • @Floximo #42830 11:05 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Funny, considering many people find neos very difficult to get into, mostly because of all the tools and items and behaviour with cloud storage and lazy loading and rigging an avatar... ^^
  • @FlameSoulis #42831 11:47 PM, 17 Apr 2023
    Those people also never actually had to set up an avatar ever. They just used prefabs or public avatars from "totally legit" sources.

  • well said, not sure if you seem fine with that as others seem not. I mean it was sold to users with the very intent of fluxuating in value, but people seem to after-the-fact expect it to be as stable as a US dollar here... except tbh its really just the go-to lazy argument against it

    When I first got my ncr part of the fun was its fluxuating value, I kind of found that appealing, where you give it to someone and hey, who knows it might be worth more tomorrow.

    Froox himself said to think pf it as an investment in Neos future. Those were his words. I think it should still be considered as such and treated as Neos own native currency. Not sure why some find that such a hostile concept

In litteralizing hyper-reality we also drive the shrinking of the world similar to the invention of air travel. As geographical barriers fall, it seems inevitable that ideology will drive social selection.

    I've been re-reading Too Like the Lightning and I am once again contemplating the notion that fan culture can map onto the idea of the bash'. Though with unfortunately far less explicit discussion of Enlightenment philosophers. One wonders: do the social dynamics of virtual communities in the now give us a glimpse of how things might shake out when we go through yet another mainstream travel or telepresense revolution?
