DiveReal (inactive, stopped)

Шунт — устройство, которое позволяет электрическому току (либо магнитному потоку) протекать в обход какого-либо участка схемы, обычно представляет собой низкоомный резистор, катушку или проводник. Шунтирование — процесс параллельного подсоединения электрического элемента к другому элементу, обычно с целью уменьшения итогового сопротивления цепи. Впервые предложен американским изобретателем Эдвардом Вестоном в 1893 году.

You won't be trying this out for the graphics ... but because everyone connected to the app can meet and talk to everyone else! So this is literally a primitive Oasis: no server rooms, just a huge virtual world. Help them improve their system by trying it out, right now it may seem pointless but the potential is huge.

It's a fun idea, and the people who are making it are friendly, they talk to you on their Discord/in-game and they are working hard on this! I think it's going to keep getting better and better and it's a fun experience! :)

lol, no

Peki ya arkadaşlarınıza katılıp daha önce hiç gitmediğiniz yerleri keşfedebilseydiniz? Sokak görünümünde dünyayı başkalarıyla birlikte keşfedin ve keşfedin. Paris'te bir tura çıkın, New York sokaklarında yürüyün veya Copacabana'ya dalın! Bunu grafikler için denemeyeceksiniz... çünkü uygulamaya bağlanan herkes diğer herkesle tanışıp konuşabiliyor! Yani bu tam anlamıyla ilkel bir Vaha: sunucu odası yok, sadece devasa bir sanal dünya. Deneyerek sistemlerini geliştirmelerine yardımcı olun, şu anda anlamsız görünebilir ancak potansiyel çok büyük.

I don't understand the point of creating this, and I don't understand why this needed to be VIrtual reality.

[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This software requires you to create a third party account by surrendering their personal email address to the developer... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] DiveReal (inactive, stopped) is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, DiveReal is a software application that shows you, I kid you not, a bunch of outdated Google Streetview views. Basically this is someones's set of diving related Google Maps bookmarks. You can put a character overlay on it if you want and see if anyone else is looking at the same Google Streetview other people are looking at. Zuckerberg look out, the Metaverse is here, what a time to be alive. And they thought it would be a good idea to dump this on Steam as if it was a game, to pollute the store I guess. They did this 6 years ago then walked off with all the emails they harvested. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers.
