This place was strange and hollow feeling any time I went on there. I chalked it up to it being a newer game/project and moved on. I popped in every once in a while to see if anything changed but it always felt that way to me. There was a much bigger focus on community and socializing then anything else, which is fine. Not for me, personally, but fine. What caused me to uninstall, leave their discord server and leave this review is they're now using AI to generate images and 3D objects. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS TYPE OF AI!!! It's horrible for the environment and it's built off of LITERAL THEFT! If it weren't for those facts, I wouldn't care if people used it or not because while I also personally find it uncanny and inaccurate, those are much more subjective opinions. I want to make this clear. Even aside from the AI stuff, I would not recommend this game. I was just refraining from saying anything because it was still pretty new and maybe they just needed more time, but them going in this direction proves to me that it will NEVER be a game worth playing. I highly encourage anyone who reads this review to skip this game and go play almost anything else. Editing for clarification: There is theft because GEN AI IS BUILT OFF OF USING ASSETS WITHOUT ARTIST'S PERMISSION. As far as I'm aware, the devs aren't actively adding stolen assets or encouraging anyone else to add them - aside from the gen ai which can ONLY produce stolen assets because of the way gen ai is made / trained / etc. I thought that was obvious from what I said but apparently some people misunderstood, so I'm clarifying.

This is the perfect example of needing the "MAYBE" vote. While it runs pretty smooth, has some fun Bonework's style physics and a bunch of unique and quite appealing worlds - there isn't much to bring you back once you have spent your time in a surprisingly empty world. The killer, having to use an external service to both sign up and update and design your avatar - tedious. Simple improvements that would be worthwhile; [list][*]In-game sign up /sign in - even if it is embedded web-page (and allow for it to use auth services like Meta, Google, etc). [*]In-game character customisation screen - you already have the assets, let us pick them without a tedious web-based service. [*]Long-term goal, setup something like Second Life's market place - engaging people to create and add content to the game. [*]World based quests (like in Meta Horizons) keep you engaged and playing, even if the world is empty. [*]Increase customisation options, all players just feel... the same? tie this in to quests and you have another reason to play. [*]Improve the UI, streamlining active experiences and cutting more of the inactive worlds. [/list]

Waiting for the physics, community, or SDK to be the saving grace - it won't happen today. I'd grill the ♥♥♥♥ out of the AI content another time

The physics are cool. But man is this game just abysmal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI slop. Like the only reason why anybody would really check out this game is because of the physics. it doesn't have the people or Really cool features like in VRchat or resonite. Almost every official world I joined was filled to the brim with AI art and it looked as bad and as soulless as it gets. It really goes to show how much the devs care about this game if they're not even willing to hire any actual artist to make well good worlds, and would rather use an outdated AI generators to make terrible looking images and backgrounds for every world they made so fair. This game is definitely not making it. If the dev team are not gonna give a ♥♥♥♥ about this game then why should creators? Just play Bonelab or Resonite - 2/10

pretty dead game, couldnt find one player for hours hopping different worlds, looks like it has potential if more polished up though.

It's just a wannabe VRChat, The player population is low, the games dead, the people in which attempt to make content, think they're funny, but realistically and respectfully they are far from it. Looks as if some of the assets or items in which they use on this platform look AI of some sort, Time is precious in life, and if you want to use your time that you have, go to VRChat. Save yourself the hassle.
