Hopped in #NeosVR for a bit, not specifically for the last time but it was kind of like that.
I was only sparsely using the platform in the end, but I still enjoyed tinkering every once in a while, especially with avatars.
Even though I wasn't doing anything else, I just wanted to make Neos versions of some of my avatars, because they looked and felt different in a great way.
So, NeosVR effectively died, as it was announced in their discord that negociations with the crypto brain worms CEO had fallen through and the entirety of people who matter on the development team had effectively resigned.
I was expecting it, and this made me much sadder than anticipated.
Fortunately, it seems everyone started a new thing that's yet to be announced (Resonite).
This seems like as good a time as any to Wax Lyrical about why Neos mattered.
@mr_daemon all of this sounds pretty cool minus the VR part which makes me horrendously nauseated after a few minutes and which is my least favourite way of physically interacting with content. if they bring the idea back with a regular keyboard and mouse and screen I'm definitely up to try it. (assuming it's in a form that is ethical; presumably that will be the case based on your dissenting tone re: the CEO)
@gsuberland Not unlike vrchat, there was (some) support for interacting with it flatly, but most of the experience being around touching things with your hands means it doesn't fully translate.
