Building a New VR Universe - Resonite

[@aprilnya]

you know the resonite people are real ones when they sponsor a video and let you bring up UI in the first 30 seconds

[@Jann03]

I've been watching Froox's content for a while He's this classical nerdy but cool dude I cannot possibly imagine he would ask to remove tha part when it's genuine and true😄

[@OrangeC7]

Resonite honestly feels a lot more like the foundation for an Oasis-type metaverse than anything else I've seen

[@redacted2458]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was what the devs were aiming for when they made it

[@JimBimBum]

yeah feels more like a live workshop than a game.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@JimBimBum Because it is. That was what the idea was gonna be behind Neos, and the devs intended to use a dedicated cryptocurrency as a way for people to make a living off of doing stuff in the game, akin to Second Life's lindens. However, they kinda started distancing themselves from that when crypto currencies started crashing left and right... and then the co founder had his whole nft/crypto obsession fiasco. I've no idea if the devs of Resonite are gonna continue on with their initial plans of creating a dedicated 1:1 currency for the game, but considering the legal trouble they had to go through with Neos? Probably not, which is unfortunate since it would have been great to see people make stuff in Resonite and be able to earn some cash directly from the game for that hard work and passion instead of having to rely on third party services to do so. I think they could still manage to do the crypto currency thing similarly to Second Life's currency, but I understand completely if they no longer want to do that.

[@HeatherKayagi]

@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 if they wanted to let creators sell their creations for cash, they'd just let them use actual currencies right? I don't see how Crypto would make that easier, especially given the examples I've seen in other games

Resonite is so important to the social VR space. I may not use it but I totally support what they are doing :)

[@TahvoStudio]

You should stop by again and check out some of the new stuff!

[@woofnuggiez]

I love vrchat but it feels stale when compared to resonites capabilities, most things in vrchat you can do are limited and you can do in most worlds, and most of the time it's just something you can pick up and click and not be very realistic, if you're looking to be more immersed or do more things with your hands, I love the option of having your own stuff you can bring out and show people, like an inventory, as well as making avatars that can do what you actually want them to do, and progress orbs instead of having to copy and paste a code every time, which is sometimes difficult in vr, resonite is more of a realistic vrchat experience, I feel like, instead of just chilling and having someone particle bomb affect you if you happen to turn on their avatar lol, If Resonite gets really good to the point you can actually create things in your own home type of worlds, like some stuff vrchat doesn't have, I can see it being a good, maybe not a replacement, but second option for those who want to really feel immersed without limitations, and like the place you're in feels more homey and you, unlike vrchat where it's what someone else created unless you make one of your own, but even if you find a sleep world or home world you like on vrchat, you can't necessarily change around the moveable stuff forever, it gets reset as soon as you leave the game and come back :( ..Which I really wish they'd change this and just add a reset world objects button instead or something) so I'd say for some, resonite can be the perfect place for really feeling a homey vibe and have a comfortable hangout environment that you and friends can create together inside virtual reality! Thats something special. ^w^ I really hope they continue working on this game for everyone.

Thanks for your work making Resonite better each day!

[@insectexpeditions6019]

Please bring it to quest idc about the price 😭🙏

[@Ucceah]

i love to see frooxius' vision of (formerly) neos finally taking off. the only limit to resonite's potential is, that most folks are stuck to VRc, and the main draw of a platform is the user base.

[@AmasterAmaster]

That could be a slow process, but I can see when more content is made for Resonite, people may give it a try and bring their friends over, thus bringing more people over from their friend groups and so on. But yea, that is a common thing I noticed too.

[@azavit]

@@AmasterAmaster It's a catch 22. The more people come to Resonite the more content will be made, but more content needs to be made to draw more people into the platform. Best thing I can say is be the change you want to see. Jump on over, try learning to create and make the stuff you would like to see. People are all willing to help.

[@Random-xw3qc]

There's also a platform gap because I want to try this out but I don't have a computer that's compatible with a valve index which I also don't have

[@azavit]

@@Random-xw3qc You only need a computer that can support steam to play Resonite... If you want to play in VR you can use any VR headset that can use SteamVR (which includes quest headsets and any VR headset you can connect to your PC AFAIK.) you do not need an index specifically nor base stations if your headset doesn't use them.

[@daleknewvegas45]

@@Random-xw3qc i mean you dont really need an index tho, i play it with quest 2 connected to my pc

[@ODISeth]

Resonite is beautiful but can feel kinda overwhelming for people who don’t know much tech or aren’t interested in MAKING things. This video does a REALLY good job of showing how even if you’re not actively creating things there’s still a ton of fun things to do for the more casual audience!

[@bigflintt]

It definitely has great potential. I love it and I hope it actually grows more in popularity. You ca create stuff + having an inventory system to share and use created stuff like guns, toys, furniture, etc. Making stuff while you're in Resonite is insane. You even can make your own world on it too!

[@TahvoStudio]

Heck yeah!

[@KitLantro]

Hi, I used to stream using the twitch commands and can say that they have been my most interactive and engaging streams to date. (Last I heard the nodes are almost all broke atm but I fully plan on doing more with Resonite in the future if/when those nodes are fixed. Fingers crossed.) The possibilities are endless, and I also share the opinion that content creators are sleeping on this as a great tool to make higher quality content. Glad to see people being sponsored to talk about this stuff, good stuff!

[@TahvoStudio]

Glad people understand that.

[@bunbox]

Collaborative content creation was one of the things I was most scared we were going to lose as Second Life got older and older with no one really doing the same thing. It's one of those things that you don't realise just how rare, but important, it is until you experience it. Genuinely so happy to see Resonite has picked up the mantle and carried it forwards. NeosVR was a contender, but we all know how much a mess that was.

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

As someone who migrated over from Second Life myself, I fully agree! It's the same creative spirit, but it gets much less in your way with limitations. Also land is free! :D

[@bunbox]

@@JackTheFoxOtter Not having to pay 300usd a month for a sim, sign me the hell up.

[@Reikha1987]

I think whoever came with the idea to host jams inside of Resonite should get a raise! It is a brilliant way to showcase what can be done while also building a comunity and ending with a bunch of cool new world and projects. the more i see about Resonite the more i want to jump in a check it out

[@Azure_Bat]

I've been playing Resonite more and more over the months and I agree so much with starting small. I had big ideas to bring a majority of what I had on my VRChat model into the platform, but was a very difficult to do with little understanding. I took my time, set up a normal model and now have slowly been learning how to do things like toggles and menu customization. It takes patience, but you get to learn from an amazing community that are extremely talented. And don't be afraid to ask people for help too! I have a group of people working with me on bringing in a VRChat world prefab to be within Resonite also! It's been a lot of work, but the collaboration helps SO MUCH!

[@TahvoStudio]

Glad you have found success

[@justanotherparadox]

Your previous video on resonite actually got me into the game and its probably become one of my favourite games of all time. So thank you for that video and this video covering the game (again) as hopefully it'll put more people into the same situation as me.

[@abthedragon4921]

I haven't really kept up with the development of Resonite but I think it's cool that it gives content creators a new online space to explore. Or just anybody online who's curious.

[@WolfSeisenbacher]

Hey thanks for making a video on Resonite! My crew at Contacts Plus host a podcast every Saturday within Resonite with a live audience! If you find yourself within Resonite again and want to be a part of the show stop by and say hi!

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

Awesome video! Also super happy you're enjoying Cloudscape Harvest, a lot of work went into that. I think the most important part I'd like to add is that Resonite is really for everyone. It provides all tools you need to build something, but comes with no obligations to actually use them. You can also very well just play games, watch videos with friends and hang out. This part of the community does exist as well. That said, chances are you might get curious and try creating a thing or two even if you didn't plan to during your time there, the platform and community has a really beautiful effect of inspiring creativity in everyone!

[@_Amplified_]

It's so surreal seeing Save The Ring featured. Awesome video.

[@KatOwO2235]

while we have VRChat as the closest thing we got to The Oasis from Ready Player One (the official Oasis beta doesn't count as it's been abandoned shortly after the first movie), I can see Resonite being The Oasis as it's VRChat and Garry's Mod/GMod combined which is basically what The Oasis is, spawning objects, saving things, custom avatars and worlds, being able to create stuff for commissions within the game, etc, but it will take some practice of course, so if Resonite can gain popularity like VRChat, then we might get a lot of stuff ported, VRChat has sadly slowed down on custom content made by fans of things, while some fandoms still thrive there, I hardly get a lot of content in most things I'm into, heck some don't ever get content, I'd love to learn to create for these 2 games some day, heck I may port my game to those 2 one day after I make it so who knows

[@DarkSwordsman]

Resonite is just Neos. It isn't going to gain popularity until they fix the numerous UX issues.

[@VRBatJune]

Thank you so much for showcasing Resonite! Theres a LOT of potential for the platform and just talking about it and showing others whats possible, helps so much! 💙

That was pretty cool! Definitely glad to see this platform continue to grow and develop. It's such a neat project. I'm still mildly intimidated by thought of coding things in here (as a non-developer), but it's neat that it exists.

[@codeyfox622]

Alright, I checked it out six months ago and it's come a LONG way it seems. I'll be hopping back in to learn!

[@the_flyingangel]

As soon as I heard of Resonite, I immediately went to support them in patreon. While I didn't get on enough. This video got to motivate me to try again on creating and interacting with people :) I'm way too shy xD

[@Krzeszny95]

Awesome video! I've been having a blast since I joined Reso 3 months ago. And the best part is how easy it is to make friends because of the collaborative nature of Resonite. It's so much easier than in VRChat, where you mostly chat, while in Resonite you also play together and share knowledge (much like in Garry's Mod). Oh, and there are two features that I feel should get more attention: importing and meta memes. You can drag and drop different files directly into Resonite: streams, videos, images, photos, audio, 3D models, to show things off in VR (or in desktop mode). And you can program 3D effects into meme videos, creating meta memes. Anything you can imagine.

[@ReplicOC]

Awesome video! you can do really a lot on Resonite and it has been a big change for me in life :3, Building, making new friends, learning new things, making video's, making events... you can do so much and it only keeps on growing!

[@viciousyeen6644]

Im cracking up over the fact that a small team of passionate people yet again beat the full force of the Facebook company to it again xD

[@kmemz]

I might not be so ambitious as to create much more than my most basic avatar in Resonite, but it is a fun and unique platform that I love to hop on, explore, and sometimes meet people when I'm in the mood to actually join something that has more than just me and maybe one friend in it. Compared to a more static platform like VRChat, well, there really is no comparison; Resonite, and NEOS before it, covers the social aspect very well, and then expands on it with an entire collaborative development environment for the mad lads who actually use it for more than just their avatar.

[@PyroNite36]

I'd be up for joining that trip if timing works out! I've only had a brief time in, but it was rather neat - especially the ability to bring stuff (games, fidget toys, etc) wherever, rather than needing specific worlds. (I had set Resonite aside until I fixed the broken trigger button in my Vive Wand, then simply hadn't gotten back to it for lack of time.)

[@phoenixbyrd79]

[@eltreum1]

I like what Resonite is going for. It seems like the most capable metaverse platform and not controlled by some mega corp. Second Life was great for its time when I was building there because in world building and collaboration was a novel experience but primitive (pun intended) and spendy. VRC nails the social activity part, but content creation is offline and a bit of a chore to iterate and experiment. Visual flow programming has always been an interest and VR seems to be the medium it was made for.

[@Skullkid16945]

Now the key is to find a way to do what Star Citizen is doing with its servers and make it possible to have servers control sections of a universe. That way players can build anywhere in the universe, and since it is modular the universe can be expanded by adding more servers. The universe could also transfer anything between servers, allowing players to seamlessly transition through the servers in the universe with whatever they may have or create. Then you could also have personal sectors people can get that protect their sector from being influenced by another or for when people want to make protected creations like games or other specialized creations. Or something idk. I am just naming off things I think would be cool for a true final modular expandable VR system that would allow any kind of creation possibility as long as enough servers can be established. Also a modular server design would allow for maintenance on certain servers without dropping the entire universe for maintenance. Would allow people to keep doing their thing if their section is not needing maintenance.

[@zionpanza]

This is awesome, reminds me of the scene in ready player one where they go in to the garage and iron giant is being built. Its cool to see a game where you can make what you want if you have the knowledge.

[@timelordwarrior4394]

This place litwrtly sounds magical

[@p5ychojoe138]

I had to pause right before you started talking about worlds because just that first bit amazed me so much lol. I really need to upgrade my PC and get a newer headset. The whole idea that I can have one avatar that just does basic stuff, but build it up to do more complex or fun things without having to sit down and plan that all from the ground up in a 3rd party software, regardless if I'm doing it myself or paying someone to make it then upload, is amazing. Just being able to have an inventory is crazy as that can let me add stuff without the need, instead of having to insure that I have everything I think my character will need locked to certain emotes or workarounds that don't really do anything and such like VRC. Now if someone can figure out how to make clothing/armor/equipment that fits any model (barring real crazy models, as funny as seeing a tentacle leviathan running around in a 5 piece suit he found in the game would be that would be hell from a programming angle I'm sure) this game will become the embodiment of what VRC and MetaVerse wish to be on par with RP1.

[@azavit]

I don't think you'll get clothing/armor to fit "every" model. Even in SecondLife (SL) which has had 2 decades to try and solve that issue while having a standard humanoid armature (which VRC/Resonite doesn't have). People weren't able to get clothing to work with "all" mesh avatars. Each mesh body is so drastically different it is basically an impossible problem to solve even for just normal humans. However taking a tip from SL. If someone who makes a standardized body can setup their avatars work with community created clothing, and with modular parts (such as a removable head, lowerlegs, forearms, etc.) you can then customize that standard body to have a huge selection of clothing options and looks that the community can support, and I do see this happening once we have a licensing system (seeing as I'm willing to help people learn how to do this)

[@p5ychojoe138]

@@azavit Yeah, figured as such. After typing that up and thinking on it, that would be about the only real way to resolve it. I ain't got a lick of practical knowledge in the realms of coding/modeling and just going off the many random bits of info I have so far in that field and what was explained in this vid. One idea considering the nature of this software/game being that you could edit the gear to fit correctly if that would be viable. This would perhaps allow "general" clothing for everyone and let folks like me have something to tinker with to learn the basics. Pop a T-pose copy of my avatar up and dress 'em up, adjust things to fit the model and have the model do various movements so I can find spots where it ain't right. Maybe even a function so if you have fur tufts or something you could be able to "paint" it so it doesn't clip through if you don't want it to or even just adjustments to the clothes if the model has practical functions. Just an idea from someone with limited knowledge on such things.

I really wish Resonite (well it wasn't Resonite but I people know what I mean) picked up during the VRC EAC rollout. I know my group checked it out and I met some cool people. I'm sorry I haven't been back on to hang i've been spending less time on VRC as well and just overall doing other things. Resonite reminds me of a more modern Secondlife and I really miss that kind of world. It's just so hard to make the switch when most people I hang with are on VRC and have no desire to switch over. I am gonna have to get on and check it all out again at some point.

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

I'm a past Second Life player myself, and migrated over to Resonite after the communities I was active in slowly dried out. Resonite definitely has much of the same magic that made me originally invested in Second Life, so chances are if you're a SL veteran you'll probably enjoy it (also land is free*!) My suggestion would be to organize a little Resonite tour with some of your friends if you can. It's similar to the concept of world hopping, just that you're having a field trip to an entirely different platform. It's also never one or the other, both VRC and Resonite have their own unique experiences to offer, and have pretty different goals, so there's no need to decide on one.

[@Tygron]

@@JackTheFoxOtter There's a small chance I could get some to pop over for a night but I feel most are gonna be all "we already did that" lol. It's all good, i've been wanting to check out Resonite again for a bit I just haven't gotten around to it. I'm not exactly a busy person but I have a "too many things I wanna do not enough time" problem lol. It would be nice to make myself a little place to chill at and on those nights I know i'm gonna just sit around watching youtube anyway I could at least do it somewhere cool. That was definitely one thing I enjoyed about SL. Made myself some simple earrings one time and was pretty happy with it, and months later had this idea to make a pair of headphones for myself. They weren't the fanciest or anything of course, but it was cool to have something I put together.

[@jeshirekitenkatt1212]

I've played second life for... most of my life now, but recently have been really into VRChat and making stuff for it. But it's been kinda killing me that live editing worlds isn't a thing, and i honestly prefer the single, consistent regions in SL to VRChat's instances most of the time. I haven't tried Resonite out yet after hearing about it a few months ago, but I'm very, very interested to see where it goes as I suspect Second Life won't ever get a proper VR version. Meta's plan to open up the App store makes this even more exciting, assuming the dev cares to maintain an android version one day.

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

The long-term plan is to get Resonite running on as much hardware as possible, including mobile (android). But this is likely still quite a while out, there are a bunch of improvements and performance optimizations to the engine and renderer left before that becomes feasible is my guess. Resonite doesn't have Second-Life sized worlds (yet), but there are some things planned that might enable a sort of connected overworld like that some day. The real-time editing functionality is insanely powerful and fleshed out already though!

[@teresashinkansen9402]

I want something as rich and varied as SL but with more laidback people who doesn't take everything so serious. Hopefully this delivers!

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

As someone who originally migrated from SL, I'd say Resonite is pretty good at delivering on that :)

[@maskedrecruit4571]

I'm actually very interested in this. I don't know if it will become my main social platform, but I absolutely intend on using this to create stuff myself. I feel like it could be a very useful endeavor to grow my game development skills.

I have like a set of like 200 skateing animations that I never got to use in VRChat becouse i dont understand locomotion layer stuff. and some cool af hover skates...now i need to do this

Question: is the UI better than Neos? Neos’ UI was extremely not user friendly and why I couldn’t get into it

[@TahvoStudio]

It's similar but on the path to improvement. They still need to re-do a few things. The new UI framework just was added, and you can see the settings have been completely redone.

[@Stellanora]

It's getting better, the settings UI was just overhauled (you can adjust graphics now too!)

[@calzonecalvin3586]

IM Super EXCITED FOR THIS!!

[@quantumangel]

You're adorable, and your terminal glasses are the cutest.

[@ivorythebean]

I believe that Resonite has a lot of potential to be amazing. Sadly though, in my eyes, it seems to be lacking in a lot of areas like emersion! Just remember never to bite off more than you can chew, and dont ever go to ambitious.

[@TheChillDeadpool]

Yeah, I doubt you’ll ever see it come to quest users.

[@DFX2KX]

it's worth adding that it does work fine with Proton on my system as well. Though the file browser is a touch glitchy.

[@graywave5566]

i always say this but i think resonite needs 2 modes for the UI like a Creater mode and a simple mode, Creator mode being full access to the systems available to resonite and consumer mode would just be like an avatar selector world selector friends list and inventory and just have an option in the setting to toggle between the 2 modes and on first launch you get prompted to select which UI to have on as default, because overwhelming ui can be bad when people only want to consume the available content in resonite so haveing a friendly UI for casual play would be huge

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

This has been brought up a couple of times, but instead of splitting it up into two modes, the way forward will be continuously improving the same UI, it should just be easy and intuitive to use for everyone! The current UI is not designed to be difficult to use, it's just not finished yet.

[@BrandonCroker]

This is cool

[@loguser7795]

I am hope that Resonite will be known as quickly as possible...

[@salem-salem4426]

game could definitely be an upgraded vrchat but I imported my model and couldn't find a way to make the shaders work + the controls were a bit weird (using a pico 4) like grabbing the sun and no way to let go, same for some tools... didn't manage to find a way to add facial expression either. So yeah, it's not like I wanted to leave, game is still installed, but just didn't have an incentive to go back

[@NikoLang]

Being a PC only platform with a very limited audience and a uncertain future, I think it will be very difficult for Resonite. As a developer, spending so much time into a platform, this uncertainty makes it a really difficult to decision to start there as it can all be gone instantly. In other platforms that is using a Unity-uplaoder, I still have all my assets even if a platform shuts down, so months of work into a world is not gone. Any good platform needs some ind of hybrid sytem between unity and an ingame building system. I dont think there is one right now and until this doesnt happen I rather stick to the classic Unity upload system (That also allows for a lot more optimisations, especially for the weaker quest devices.)

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

Major optimizations for Resonite is the next major development priority. There's some big things planned that when implemented will likely improve performance a lot, but we'll have to see by how much to judge if standalone (Quest) support becomes feasible afterwards. I'm optimistic that we'll get there. Some of those are restructuring the engine to a process-based architecture, which will enable switching to newer .Net runtime for most of it, as well as the new rendering engine that will completely replace Unity once it's mature enough. In regards to being locked into a platform, I understand your concerns. Resonite already allows you to export objects and worlds as various 3D model formats, for example FBX, GLTF or BLEND files, but those come without any mapping of logic. ProtoFlux currently doesn't exist outside of Resonite, so custom code is hard to transfer. You can now also export complex objects / avatars as a ResonitePackage format, which contains all assets within, and even though currently Resonite is the only application being able to read it, but in time (or in the event of a catastrophic issue), someone of the community will surely make a tool to extract the assets from them directly (they are just ZIP files with the assets and JSON files inside). There's a couple of large features in the future that will help with that though. Notably there is the planned option to create logic / scripts using WASM, which if you end up going that route would make your code much more portable and give you the option to migrate it to another engine if you have to. There's also a planned Unity SDK which would allow importing / exporting from / to Unity directly, and since it would be an entire SDK, also allow mapping custom logic and functionality between the two to an extend. I suggest upvoting the issues if you think they would benefit you on Resonite's Discord, to let the developers know those are things you value. That said though, depending on your workflow, you might not be super locked in to begin with. Personally I've always made individual assets and materials outside of Resonite using the likes of Blender, Substance Painter and Co, so having access to those files already makes them platform independant. Even if I make something like a procedural texture in-game I can easily export it as a png. And I'm also not too concerned that Resonite is going to disappear overnight. The developers are very transparent about their business, long-term goals and challenges, for example they've publicly announced their first financial report of Q1 2024 in a the monthly recap livestream on March (it's also in text form on Resonite's wiki now!), and they do work closely with the community to figure out what to focus on next based on majority request.

ok im paying a visit to ironworks

[@cat7294]

I love how it's called "sponsor requirement"

[@jcprod-english]

its as if rec room and vrchat had a baby and that baby grew up to be LITERALLY AWESOME??

[@wille7821]

Great video! The game looks awesome and I can't wait to try it! I have a question about avatars ^^ If I decide to make my own avatar, how likely is it that someone rips it from me? Is there some kind of protection if I want something private that I have made?

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

Resonite has a component called "SimpleAvatarProtection" which will register the avatar to you and prevent other people from saving or equipping it. As long as you don't publish it, other people also can't spawn it out of an inventory, only you can spawn and use it. This is added with the default settings on the avatar creator, there is a checkbox "protect avatar", which when checked will register it to the user that clicks the "create" button. If someone would try to circumvent this and take the avatar without your permission, that would be breaking platform guidelines and handled by moderation once you report it.

[@bob-nt8xd]

littlebigplanet for vr. amazing.

[@ariasavirgo9171]

this looks so fun i wanna try it asap

[@chekote]

It’s cool you can build stuff in-game, but what’s the vendor lock in like? I loved the simplicity of Second Life, but not being able to utilize any of that outside SL was a real bummer. The trade off of complexity vs portability when using external tools like Unity and Blender was a better fit for me than SL’s approach.

[@JackTheFoxOtter]

Resonite itself is more of a tool in those regards. You can export stuff you create as common asset file formats, there's not really a easy way to export custom behaviors currently though. In the future the importing / exporting functionality is planned to be improved upon. Stuff like ProtoFlux is difficult to export because it doesn't really exist outside of Resonite, the same does not go for assets though.
