One of our lovely moderators made a post similar to this a couple weeks back, I wanted to bring the topic up again. What kind of events would you want to see or participate in? Movie nights? Game nights? Q&As with the devs? More things like the achievement hunt? Contests for submitting videos to our tiktok? Anything at all? Let us know! We want to increase community engagement and make this server fun for all.

Game night would be cool

slender birch
#

Movie nights are a cool concept however a lot of ppl don’t feel comfortable to communicate and there’s not much engagement within the community when ur watching a movie as unnecessary talking ruins the movie, I think a Q&A with the devs in the best bet so far, plus with movie nights a strong internet connection is needed and discord nitro for 1080p

knotty elk
#

Although I don’t know how much I’d join

silver lodge
#

YouTube marathons would work as an alternative to a movie night

#

Talking between videos and members could suggest videos, the only danger being cursing

Uno

#

Poker

silver lodge
#

Minecraft, lots of people have that

#

Also a good idea of course to use free games

#

Ideally without player limits

slender birch
#

Also scribblio

knotty elk
slender birch
#

And gartic phone

#

Jackbox

silver lodge
#

Jackbox, anything Jackbox

knotty elk
#

Ye

empty sonnet
#

Oh yeah! Jackbox is a great one, cause it has audience too

knotty elk
#

Yes

silver lodge
#

Ofc that has player limits but nobody needs to pay if one person owns it

#

I own 3 packs myself

empty sonnet
#

Oh yeah, we have several of the jackbox packs between us on the dev team, it's a favorite

silver lodge
#

I personally LOVE Fakin' it but it doesn't work great online since you kinda need to know the people you're playing with

slender birch
#

I always like when dev teams and staff are always lowk friends

empty sonnet
#

I'd also like to do stuff like uno, life, monopoly, do you guys know of free versions for these? The ones I have are on steam, they're pretty cheap, but still paid content

slender birch
#

I don’t know alot off ppl that can’t play poker or uno plus there free online with ads

#

(Poker)

empty sonnet
#

Do you have links to free ones you've used?

slender birch
#

Yes, I could definitely find them and tell u, In in a community with a lot of ppl that I staff in and we do game nights like that

#

They’re pretty fun with a lot of ppl

empty sonnet
slender birch
#

oooo

#

i can think if a really fun one

#

I cant believe i havent thought of this, espically cuz this is a vr server

#

crossplay between headsets as well

empty sonnet
#

Oooh! That's really helpful, thank you. Free to play and everything

slender birch
#

i have personal experience with this one maybe a year and a half and i love it so far

empty sonnet
slender birch
#

nope, money is made based off a cosmetic and item system

cosmic rover
#

the only thing you can use real money on his these coins for cosmetics

#

like eggs

slender birch
#

which dont pose a competitive advantage

cosmic rover
#

eggs make you 100% better at the game

slender birch
#

(the purchasable coins r for cosmetics)

empty sonnet
#

Awesome, glad it doesn't encourage real gambling

cosmic rover
#

and eggs

#

i have the eggs in the game from an event

silver lodge
#

You can put real money in to get gambling chips

#

I did it early on cause I was awful at it and kept running out of chips

cosmic rover
#

theres a free spin wheel

silver lodge
#

Cause if you're just starting out and aren't that good /get bad luck, then you're gonna run out quickly

slender birch
#

yeah so basically when u start out u get coins based off a wheel that u can spiin i think every 8 hours which has enough coins to keep u going for a while honestly

cosmic rover
#

ye

silver lodge
#

The free spin wheel is the only source of free chips and you spin it once per day

#

Every 8 hours, not daily

cosmic rover
#

it gives like a few thousand

#

also

#

you dont lose that much unless you go all in

slender birch
#

yeah exatcly

silver lodge
#

Yeah but that doesn't last long when it's all you have. Even without going all in

slender birch
#

thw eheel is more then enough

silver lodge
#

Idk what lobbies you were in but I ran out of chips pretty often with the free spin

cosmic rover
#

idk how

#

i never knew you could run out

slender birch
#

idk, ive never had problems with running out of chips and iive never made any in app purchases but im sure some users expieriences r diferent

silver lodge
#

Cause a bunch of high chip players join the low level lobbies and constantly go all in. You have no choice but to do it too or you don't get to play at all

slender birch
#

u only lose chips if when u leave the table ur down

#

u can leave wheneever u want and if u get a single win and then leave the table ur already up

silver lodge
#

I've tried leaving to another table and they were there too

#

They were everywhere when I played regularly

slender birch
#

were u in the low stake lobbys?

silver lodge
#

Yep, exclusively

slender birch
#

idk, its never happened to me

#

thats weird

silver lodge
#

They had enough chips to safely do that as a troll

cosmic rover
#

i played when it came out so that could be it

empty sonnet
slender birch
#

yeah its bcs of the gambiling

#

they dont want to encourage kids to gambkle even with fake money

silver lodge
#

Yeah, def a good idea but should be limited to adults only

slender birch
#

look at the lawsuit csgo is having j with loot crates

cosmic rover
#

same with tf2

#

more or else tf2 just stopped

#

selling them in some places

slender birch
#

u dont need to be established in the game at all to play poker with freinds a private table anyways where there are no trolls and everyones there to gamble fake money talk and have fun

empty sonnet
slender birch
#

yeah i completely agree with that I figured that was gonna come up cuz after all well this is a buinsess

#

thats the smart thing to do

#

if this even happens of course

empty sonnet
#

Yeah, right now I'm just sussing out options for different events. This is a possible option, I may run a poll or something later on and see what kind of games everyone wants to play

slender birch
#

yeah if u need any more information about other games or this specific one type it here and @ me or dm me

empty sonnet
cosmic rover
#

among us

#

(joke)

knotty elk
#

Good idea

#

(Joke)

empty sonnet
#

If people for real wanted to play it I would sacrifice myself and do it 😂

slender birch
#

“Sus” spunchpob

worn kelp
#

Q&A or Game night

#

I have jackbox if you wanted me to host one of those

#

maybe among us

worn kelp
#

so not gambling

empty sonnet
# worn kelp But you get no money out

Legally no, probably not gambling, but children could still steal their parents credit cards and then the parents get angry at us for hosting a place for children to spend money

slender birch
#

sounds like a way to get infamous win the "case" and get clout

#

jk lmao

worn kelp
#

Sad, I love pokerstars

silver lodge
#

Pretty much any vrchat world would work. It has tons of games. There's an uno game that lets I think 8 people play together

worn kelp
#

True

#

Bigscreen could be used for movie nights

#

A live Q&A would be incredible

#

Or a mini game jam since so many of us seem to make games

ionic sparrow
#

jackbox games

empty sonnet
silver lodge
#

I'd be down, ofc it would need to be a weekend or longer term

zenith whale
#

Maybe every few months we suggest stuff to be put in the game and whoever has to most votes it will be put in the game? Idk

worn kelp
#

Also a game jam would be a pretty idle event, you just start it and wait

knotty elk
#

print(“absolute L”)

worn kelp
#

knowspython = str(input("Do you know python"))

if knowspython == "Yes":
Print("You are an L")
elif knowspython == "No":
Print("You are good")
else:
Print("You need to answer with yes or no")

#

Idea: 1 or 2 day gamejam, community votes for the topic.

#

Then even people who can't gamedev can get involved

worn kelp
silver lodge
#

So vrchat wouldn't have that worry, and it has far more fans

empty sonnet
#

Tabletop simulator is an option too, at least for board/card games

ionic sparrow
#

Recroom/vrchat is free so more accessible

empty sonnet
#

Very true

worn kelp
ionic sparrow
#

I mean if you host private pretty sure you can kick

#

vrchat just has more worlds available imo

#

in terms of party games and stuff

worn kelp
#

Among Us is a decent game past the annoying memes

#

good party game

I love the vr version cause i cant see behind me

#

In 2d i can see everywhere and see it coming

#

vr i could be doing a task and someone sneaks up

empty sonnet
#

I never thought about that before, that sounds terrifying lmao

silver lodge
#

You should see Dani's Amogn Us Scuffed edition

worn kelp
#

That was never released

#

What about a trivia night?

#

Ah google exists nvm

empty sonnet
# worn kelp What about a trivia night?

Not a bad idea. You're right, google exists, so we'd have to sort of "honor system" that people aren't going to google things. Maybe there's an app or program out there sort of like those school exam programs that doesn't let you use google lol

worn kelp
#

True

#

but just use a different device

empty sonnet
worn kelp
#

yeah

#

Or have it be speed based, then if you actually know it you will answer quicker than google

empty sonnet
#

Oh! Yeah, that would help too.

worn kelp
#

Interesting poll so far

empty sonnet
#

Me sweating looking at VR game night as the top result 👀

worn kelp
#

You dont want that?

empty sonnet
#

I don't actually play much in terms of VR because it gives me headaches and nausea if I play too long 😂 But I'll do it for the community

worn kelp
#

I feel like VR is much more emotive and social

empty sonnet
#

Someones gonna have to teach me how rec room works lmao

worn kelp
#

I play it a lot

#

you just join lobbies that can be private and play games

#

theres official ones like paintball, charades etc.

#

or community ones

jade heart
empty sonnet
silver lodge
#

I still think vrchat is a better option than rec room, cause since it'd be a private lobby you don't need to worry about offensive skins and there's a ton of game options in there.
Ntm Maeve, you could play the flat screen version and still participate with us if it's a board game like uno or something like that

empty sonnet
silver lodge
#

Yeah, just gotta use it through steam instead of oculus

worn kelp
#

Rec room has not only flatscreen, but mobile?

silver lodge
#

I feel like it's safe to say that nobody in this community would be using mobile...

worn kelp
#

Why?

silver lodge
#

Safe to say most if not at all have a VR headset, and those who don't likely have a PC or laptop that they play games on.

worn kelp
#

Well rec room still has a pc version, so its the same but more

silver lodge
#

This is a server for a VR game, so I expect most people here would have equipment for such gaming

worn kelp
#

Its up to the devs / event organisers though

#

We both gave our recommendations

#

And it isn't one or the other now that i think about it

#

I dont know what we are debating over

worn kelp
jade heart
#

im loving the top 3 results now

silver lodge
#

Just need a few more votes on game jams

worn kelp
#

Well, they could do them all no?

#

It isnt just the top 3?

worn kelp

So low doesnt mean no?

Also I just setup my laptop, I'm gonna try Isaac's backrooms game

slender birch
#

Have u had a computer?

worn kelp
peak rock
#

Okay I'll keep that in mind

worn kelp
#

Its more of a build thats just there so i can put out updates

peak rock
#

Oh wait I just downloaded it how do I open the game

worn kelp
#

Extract the file, open the .exe

slender birch
#

Prob needs to be extracted

worn kelp
#

Are you on windows?

peak rock
#

Yeah

worn kelp
#

Alright then it will work

#

Extract and open the .exe

peak rock
#

Okay I'll do that when it finishes extracting

#

Okay wait so when the extract prompt shows up do I just press extract?

worn kelp
#

Eh?

#

You see the zipped download folder you got right?

peak rock
#

Yes

silver lodge
#

right click it and click "extract all"

#

that'll get a new folder, inside of it you'll find the exe

worn kelp
#

That is correct

silver lodge
#

it'll warn you about "oh it's unscanned and could be dangerous"

#

that's for you to decide if you want to trust Isaac or not

worn kelp
#

If I were you I wouldn't trust me /j

slender birch
#

I have a malware bytes sub

worn kelp
slender birch
#

Wdym okay 😭

peak rock
#

My wifi is bad rigth now

peak rock
#

I hope I didn't just like leak anything from this photo lol

#

What do I do?

worn kelp
#

Uhhhhhhhh

#

Wait how is it modified on that date

peak rock
#

What?

worn kelp
#

The file didnt exist then?

peak rock
#

Oh wait what

worn kelp
#

The date modified

#

Just skip and see if it works i guess

peak rock
#

Okay

worn kelp
#

Just rename the folder to a shorter name

peak rock
#

Oh okay

#

Okay I see backrooms vending machine after I successfully extracted

#

Do I look in there?

#

For the .exe

worn kelp
#

Ye

silver lodge
#

yep

peak rock
#

Okay

#

I did it isaac!

#

Well that was a short game

#

Well, demo I guess

#

Wait was I holding shift that whole time

#

Lemme replay real quick

#

Oh I'm just that fast walking

#

Okay, I have feedback. I think you should decrease the walking speed and add a sensitivity slider because it was really low (That or I'm just used too high sens) luckily I could change that with my mouse so It was still fun.

peak rock
#

Oh it was also not what I expected it too be, I thought it would be a randomly generated world
