The most inspiring VRChat world I've seen

Sword Art Online is FINALLY here with the fan-recreation in VRChat: Project Aincrad (unaffiliated). Their group, Argus, is doing the work of an indie game studio for free, just out of love of experiencing the game. The anime takes place in 2022, so it’s fitting that although we don’t have “full-dive” yet… you can experience it on PCVR or Quest! :D Virtual Reality is AWESOME.

I remember checking out Project Aincrad once before, and I just fell in love with it. I know there wasn’t much but my first thought after playing a few minutes is “I can’t wait for this to be further along in progress. I know it will take time, but I can wait because I know the more time they take the better it will be”

[@TheEldritchVoid]

@Pelinal Whitestrake this is a fan made mod basically so it's getting through some technical challenges in the engine or platform more than the duke nukem forever hell loop

[@ShadowPaladin55]

@Pelinal Whitestrake you are right, time spent doesn’t always relate to quality. But when you have a team as dedicated as them, who have a passion for what they are making, the more time you give them the more time they have to increase the quality. It is also a fan game so there isn’t too much to worry about with disagreements and management. If it takes a long time to get a simple issue done then yes there is some bad management or something, but if it takes a long time for a lot of things that is better. I will provide 2 game examples, 1 bad and 1 good. Railroads Online, they had a bug that broke multiplayer servers after a certain number of trees were cut down, and it affected a lot of people. Their response, wait a few months then fix it (bad management and bad use of time when it was an easy fix). Next example, Dyson Sphere Program. They just delayed their next major update from this year to some time next year, the combat update, so they can make it better and higher quality for their community (Good example). What determines if it is a bad use of time is what they are working on, and how easy what they are working on is. If an easy fix takes forever that is bad, but if a major update takes forever then they are making it the best they can. I did not mean for this to be a wall of text

I know full dive is super unrealistic but I really hope it’ll exist some day soon. Sao is not only what got me interest in vr but what got me into anime. There’s no doubt full dive would completely change the world as we know it

[@tuxedo_monkey8805]

Its being worked on and is predicted to be in existance sometime in the next 20 years.

[@Rin_Nya762]

Not really unrealistic. The way it was done in the anime, sure, somewhat exaggerated. But the concept can be achieved with more research into the tech. Some of the tech exists now, but not for consumer vr hardware. Mostly in testing for medical hardware. But if predictions are true, in the next 20 years, we may see something such as full dive vr. Who knows how itll actually be. But itll be 100% worth it if it comes even 60% close to nervegear in the anime.

[@noato1317]

Sao was my first anime since I was into video games back then, and inspired me to try out VR

[@mugen6269]

Its possible considering they say its also possible in the far far future to do space hyperjump. But the full dive vr could be possible in our generation or if not then the next one

@Can’t think of a good channel name. I'd have to see it to believe it and even then I'd have doubts. Dont get me wrong, I'd absolutely love to have full dive, I'd sell a limb for it. But, I just dont think we are close enough to have what the real full dive is supposed to be.

[@nillyeg]

I've been waiting for 3 years for something like that to exist

[@blygreene9807]

you're 12? also, as far as getting full dive that's probably 40+ years away considering how little we understand avout the brain and how hard it would be to recreate the nerve gear (wireless communication with the brain). if you wanted it with possible major health complications, tens of thousands of dollars of surgeries and visibile metal ports on your body to plug cords into, and a relatively high chance of being paralyzed, you could probably join a trial run in 25-30 years 💪💪 get that bread so you can afford it when it happens

[@naganwhat8364]

@@blygreene9807 PCs and phones were a rare thing to have mere 20 years or so ago. Now we develop and utilise AIs (even though they are not really that) as tools, progress Will be much further than that in 40 years, in my somewhat ignorant opinion

[@blygreene9807]

@@naganwhat8364 You're absolutely right that technology has an exponential curve, but in my opinion it's straight up just the lack of information we have on how the brain works coupled with how little progress we've made in the last 20 years on understanding the brain plus all the hoops a company would have to jump through. Like for human trials involving brain surgery it'd probably be 6 months to a year of just legal work before they could even start. Any complications at all would set them back super far in funding from public backlash too so it'd have to be a company with a huge backer funding them plus a public release would probably only happen after like 10 years of trials on the human tester to make sure it's not going to cause long-term brain damage or anything like that. Like if we're just straight talking our best team of scientists worldwide working on it with no legal or funding requirements we could probably get it out and semi-safe in 10-15 years but they have better things to spend their time looking into so idk I just think it's pretty far off sorry I started rambling a bit

[@userandresearcher1036]

​@@naganwhat8364 Well, I think the problem would rather be all the legal work. Before the necessary research could even start, you'd need to have enough resources (support of the public, funding, researchers, facilities, interested parties and etc...). And even then, even if we knew enough about the brain at some point, there's still the ethical debate. Technology that could *"connect"* to your brain/ *disable or DIVERT* signals that the brain sends to the body? Before they'd even think about using this for the gaming industry, and getting all the work to legalise a said system like that for public/common use done (with all the effort and time that alone would take aside) they would probably much rather use it primarily in the medical sector alone. What I'm saying is not it isn't possible, it's just that it is highly unlikely, even if we were very close to making it a reality, to actually become a thing due to ethical and legal issues. And even if these were solved as well, it'd probably be unaffordable for most people, considering its' novelty.

If only they recreated it on a actual VR game that u can download and not inside VRchat

[@darkblade51224]

I was telling someone the other day that the coolest thing about VR chats world and Avatar design system is that it actually uses the unity engine meaning you can create entire games inside VR chat it just takes people getting together as a group to do it the thing is vrchat is a similar platform to Roblox but has more of an emphasis on socializing but due to the fact that it has the building blocks of using a game engine that you're freely allowed to use you can create games inside of your chat it's just people don't do it as often because there aren't a lot of developers making worlds at least not on the quest side actively. And even though there are some on the PC side who make some really cool things there's no one other than the project aincrad that I know of that is making something as big or as ambitious as this as much as it's possible people that are actually experienced enough to make amazing things with the unity engine are more likely to make their own games rather than make something in VR chat but I do wish that more people who knew how to make games with the unity engine would make cool things like this.

During a test from the Creator of this I got to see the original BETA of the Project. While it wasn't as insane as it currently is now, It was still an amazing show of what VRChat could actually do. The Map wasn't fully made yet but and it was mostly a test of saving positions after leaving using the Menu. It's still in the Game now but it would basically alter your avatar for a moment and then make it so you could load Data in a whole different Area. Of course I'm pretty sure any Data I actually have on the world actually broke after trying the newer versions since the map kinda just had a couple Hills and the most basic build of the middle city. It's definitely come far though and I can't wait to see what else they do with it.

They basically have that, it's called a VR suit, but most are really expensive, but the coding could be done for full body movement to increase character strength, but dexterity, that's kind of based on your real life body, unless you have a BMI or an electrode array head controller that can let you control everything just by thinking, useful in case anyone paralyzed wants to play VR.

You can't really fight the boars outside yet, but you can open your menu, it's impressively designed but most features are currently nonfunctional.

I've always been a vr fan as a kid and every new vr tech that comes out continues to surprise me, i've owned a quest 2 for 6 months and what i'm most excited for is fulldive vr hopefully we'll reach that level in a couple of years

[@cloutogelevatedtv9000]

as a member of the project aincrad discord they are working their bag off to make this a reality

[@dend5151]

If a full dive SAO game ever gets created in my lifetime, I'll be stuck in the game by choice

this is really cool :o

Virtual Reality is so amazing. It's like the ultimate non-monetizable medium. It's built for the new world we're living in. Big projects aren't paid for by investors, they're crowdfunded by a small but extremely dedicated group of vr enthusiasts. This could never be a mass market product, and that isn't a bad thing. This gives VR a distinct identity I feel, where it's a lot more like the decentralized world of web 1.0 than anything modern. It's a great return to the roots of tech culture. I love that Facebook totally failed abysmally to market VR lol.

Great Video! I can't wait to jump into this world especially because SAO was one of the big reasons I got into VR after leaving for two years because I didn't have my VR legs. I hope the new pets are doing well and getting along🤘

I remember some guy telling me about it in the pre beta, it’s crazy how far is come

[@mijumaru12]

I had for sure played this if I had money for any vr that I can play this on! I love sword art online and playing in that word would be a dream come true 😍

[@0BloodEvolver0]

I remember when I first saw this looking for sao avatars back when it was nothing more than the menu and some swords to play around with to think they have come this far in such a short time is amazing

[@EndlessEvelyn]

Dang, it’s getting harder to not immediately spend any money I get on getting a vr headset

[@roux9069]

I watched SAO and the first thing I said was the menu looked so satisfying I love how they made this game and I cant wait for more updates!

[@braidencrow7534]

Told my friend on discord to call and i made his day 10 times better, thank god for me being a video game hermit

[@dayonistump5776]

I play this it's been crazy getting to see how it changes and grows

[@v3rtual1]

imagine pairing this with the vr headset with the explosives on it
