IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Had a bunch of complications delaying it, but I wanted to get out there that the update to the Sonic VRC avatars is still *very much* under way, and it's gotten bigger than I expected. I'd say it's more than half way done, summer may slow me down?? But the avatars will get a *lot* of new stuff.

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for! If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

Just figured I'd drop in real quick to mention I updated the NiGHTS avatar! The update itself isn't huge, but it does reduce some frame drops that used to happen

So VRChat added a raycast component for avatars in a beta branch, and while I absolutely plan to use it for avatar projects and think it's a long overdue component to add, one thing I'd like to see them add is a trigger collider exception, especially since I don't think it'd be hard to add

Just a reminder that they still intend to do this, dont let the backlash die down, keep cancelling your subscription.

Karla's a friend, and this is so close to funded!! A few bucks or a signal boost would be incredibly appreciated :)

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded" Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

Any time they say "The vast majority won't be impacted", that's a lie. Always. Keep pushing back.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Me trying my hardest not to spoil what the next update to the Sonic avatars is going to have before all the characters are done : www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkNs...

vrchat.com/home/world/w... This object test world is now in Community Labs! (PC only for now) You can test out the 2 main object templates I've been working on since late December in there, they're still in progress and I've yet to fix certain issues, but still!

WIth this update being out, progress on the avatars will stop as the next one will be a much bigger update that should've happened before most of the cast even got the air dash. I apologize for the lack of bug fixes and tweaks during this time The map objects may still receive progress, though.

I can't really demonstrate this visually currently but the PvP, which had been disabled for a little bit, is back! Now with a proper toggle and a team up system! More info in replies :

I'm currently in the process of adding eye animations to everyone's idles. For now I did the Frontiers cast, I'm about to move on to Shadow & Movie Shadow

Momentum conservation

Since it is currently 2026 in France Happy New Year, y'all! Let's hope this one's better than the last one

So turns out I can force animations to play on the Sonic avatars through seats in worlds, I just need to make sure the animations of the avatar itself aren't playing while I do so I'll have to keep that in mind for later

Why isn't this the norm on VRC-

there is a rarely (if ever?) spoken about gamecube era aesthetic of stylized graphics mixed with textures made from real world photographs and I hope a bunch of indie devs embrace this at some point

The latest update for the avatars brings an extra change to the glide (which tbh was always meant to be there, I just hadn't done it since I was pretty tuckered out after making the main part for it) There is a cool down on glide that is much harsher if you jump out of it to make it less abusable

Will roll out an update soon that adds a spin ball effect I've had in the backburner for a while as I was focusing on christmas stuff There's also some internal changes that may mess up saved parameters? This was made to make editing everyone more consistent and hopefully make future updates easier

After a year and a half of being unfortunately not very active on this project, with it being the 25th where I live and with the current Crossworlds festival, I decided to make the NiGHTS avatar, in its current W.I.P state, public. vrchat.com/home/avatar/... I wish you all happy holidays!

SAVE ME THIS MONTH‼️ I need your help guys #mutualfriends I don’t want to be a homeless person this coming Christmas & new year, I deserve to celebrate but I need first to settle my Rent to secure my house, bills are killing. A side from that Im taking medicines Share this guys

I cannot live without my Momo. If it's his time, I understand, but if he's got a good chance like he has, I cannot give up. 🥺

I have finally gotten around to make a new shader for the eyes, not quite complete, but it is complete enough for me to animate said eyes!

I might finish this one right on time for Christmas eve-

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
