This could COMPLETELY change VRChat forever 

loving the tea

The graphics on this VR episode are nuts.

"Twitter has not been happy today" there are days when Twitter is happy?

SecondLife was like one giant mall. Almost every surface of every place, trying to sell you something for real money. It was so hard to find space that wasn't dominated by capital. I really hope VRChat can avoid that.

The best and most profitable VR Chat could be would be separating adult and child areas, allowing adult content creation, and being able to create and spawn NPC characters and monsters with their own voice dialogues in game designated areas, and combine diggable/destructible and buildable regions to the above and you'd have the perfect VR experience. Oh, and add haptic feedback compatibility so people can hug each other and feel it if they buy the VRChat haptic cat suits, combined with that ability to interact with people's bodies, and you'd be gold! Whoever makes this first will be a multi-billionaire. which covers everything I think?

I couldn't resist laughing when he said "Gunter, old video"

"Twitter woke up angry today" Ah yes so it was a normal day

VRChat Updates in a nutshell: "Yay! Wait, oh no,.. oh YAY!!! oh no.. YAY!! oh god oh no.."

The paywall thing I am not excited about, I feel it will be about as effective as Bethesda's paid mods for Skyrim Special Edition, which is to say was hardly effective and mostly annoying. However, the natively supported playing with others dynamic bones is really cool.

So with the new physics, I can hug HUG my friends?! ALL this sounds awesome!

Great Video PHIA! Veeeeeeeery Interesting!

Literally every streamer was there blowing up the chat.

Looking forward to that audio bug gettin' fixed. Thought that shit was just me, personally.

Chillout VR was the secret hero here; without the competition, I don't think VR Chat would be as quick to update the engine.

I had no idea they had a stream going! Thank you so much Phia! You are amazing!

New unity - half of the avatars and some worlds breaks again

I don't want the pay thing for like worlds because then you miss out on fun places like udon driving or golf if you had to pay i wouldn't and that would miss out on fun. Maybe have a tipping area?

__Bugs__ - Audio Bug (Audio cuts out entirely and you have to restart VRChat) - Friend's Lists and World's List Updates __Display__ - New UI (Rearranged + More compact/cozy) - UI Skins (How your menu will look to you) - Profile Skins (How your profile will/can be viewed by other's) __Quality of Life__ - New Servers (Japan and Europe) - Avatar Dynamics (Touching other people's dynamics in VRChat) - Unity 2019 Upgrade - Tunneling/Motion Sickness improvements in settings __Udon Improvements__ -> Save States (Progress saved in worlds, Inventory, Levels, etc.) -> Debug Menu in VRChat -> OSC Input (Blendshape and Face Tracking improvements for avatars) __Social__ - Info Panel for Avatars/People/Worlds - Identity update (Bio) - Groups (Moderations/Likeness) - Creator Economy (Avatar and World Subscriptions)

7:21 "twitter today has not been happy" when are they ever not happy

I'm just waiting for Pokemon Arceus to be ported to this and then for some random worker to trap everybody in the game until they finish it only for the people who ask why for him to say "ahduno"

I wish they would add a way to make avatars while inside vr, for example have sliders for simple body features and then a list of things like heads, helmets, chests, arms, and legs.

It's good to know they're upgrading to the new version of Unity. Most of my avatars are things I've done of VRoid or Koikatsu, so to know is very important!

Thank you Phia! I actually enjoyed seeing your rl body for a video. It was a pleasant surprise. :) I think it'd actually pretty good to sprinkle in irl videos once in awhile to change things up a bit.

OMG IF THEY CAN ADD A FEATURE WHEN YOU CAN HOLD HANDS WITH OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE NEW DYNAMICS THAT WOULD BE SICK

World persistence IS GOING TO BE ULTRA AMAZING!!!

they're making big moves to capitalize on this boom, things are gonna change a lot

Love ur vids phia u really helped me make the decision and I ended up getting the quest two and u helped me learn what it does and all things like that

8:05 made me so happy think about all the rpgs that could be made!

who else looked at the thumbnail and thought there was gonna be 2 vrchats? lol a great video btw!

Ahhh, all of that sound super exiting! Thank you for making this info-video, Phia 💖💖✨🌸🌱👏🏼

Thank you so so much! I've never seen you before, but honestly this helpped alot ! Thank you :)

Thanks for making this video, I was super excited about the new dynamic bone system that doesn't want to steal all your frames and I wanted to know what else they said in the stream, but I'm not sitting there for 2 and a half hours

Hey, Phia! Loving the content - I'm excited for the future of VRChat with the coming updates. There will be some growing pains for creators to learn the ins and outs of Unity 2019 and the associated pipelines BUT it certainly seems that the developers are finally listening to the community about their needs and wants.

0:10 lmfao

love this updates! really excited to see where the games goes

I really love the avatar dynamics. Udon does have this option where you can physically push buttons to make things appear or turn on and off options, and that came out like... a couple of months ago? lol Now they're putting this on regular objects that you can just push around and on avatars so you can actually hold onto tails? You do not know how much I want to latch onto someone's tail and not let it slip out of my hands lmao

We are all going to look back on these days and think, remember when we could just go and try out a simple avatar world without having to pay $30 for it? Those were the good days 😔

It will be funny and confusing if they dropped it all in one update

So, you with the new UI, will Quest finally get access to the camera? And with the new physics bones and interactivity will that also be supported on Quest?

as an avatar creator i am most excited about unity because i like to give my models for free anyway and sometime the old unity can be hard to work with.

thank you for the summary! i don't have the attention span to watch streams that long lol

Birthday in 6 days and my love for vr was reminded and i asked my mom for the quest 2 and she says she can take me since i dont have school on that day, this channel was one of the things that made me love vr, you practically have been walking me through it since around julyish i wanted to ask for a vr headset in november for cyber monday but i never asked and i might finally try vr.

"we'll be leaving unity 2018" YES, YES!! OH MY STARS YES!! PLEASE I NEED THIS YES *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

Never had these bugs you mentioned, but I'd love to see some updates. That's the VR title I play the most. And there's a good upside for really currency, namely supporting artists that really suffer from the current situation

Hey Phia just got you as a suggested on my phone youtube ayyy!!, Love seeing your video's, keep up the good work! :)

7:16 Uh.... Second Life deals with this all the time. As an ex-SL creator, this kind of thing isn't new and I've seen so much SL content ripped and pulled onto VRC. It's already another issue on another front. I hope VRChat's team is ready to lawyer up because they're going to have to be on the ball with DMCA requests.

I know unity updating is a good thing but I’m nervous itll mess up my upload process even though it will probably be fine

great video! i definatly am most exited about saving progress in game!

Great video! It was very fun and informational!

This was really cool and very informative, thankyou!

This is pretty awesome! I'm excited to see how VR Chat changes! And I'm pretty ok with some paywalling as long as it's not every world and every avatar. But I understand just how far that can go but at the same time I do want to support the game and make it better for people who create within it.

Honestly the pay for avatars/ worlds is messed up way too many people might sell stolen stuff. Most of the avatars I have myself are from games and such and don't have that many changes from the base models found online.

The Creator Economy is giving me flashbacks to the Skyrim Paid Mods fiasco back in 2015. No es bueno.

I just subscribed, I love the videos Phia

so touching someones tralala is gonna be more immersive for some.

New UI - very col, love the new look and layout. Hope those wings can be used for some kind of avatar organisation tho (long shot I know, I jsut have far too many uploaded avatars to cycle through whenever I'm looknig for my favorites). As for the creation stuff: the stuff I do for other people is usually either model rips (fom Doom Eternal, etc.), or mid-level base edits (retextures, kit-bashes, and some simple 3D modelling for those small pieces I can't find anywhere) and as such I tend to do them for free. Sooo... I don't really have an opinion on the in-game payment stuff. I probably won't use it, but I can see why others would quite like it. Just so long as the avatar ripping problem is fixed up a little... On the flip-side though - Avatar Dynamics. Holy CRAP that looks awesome! Dynamic-Bone replacement aside, I cannot WAIT to have a proper way of doing avatar-avatar interaction, collision checks, and all that stuff. Just... WOW.

Updating the physics is really needed. So excited for the added immersion

Thank you for making a shorter video explaining the main points of the dev stream!!

I'm excited to see a future boom in this channel

I'm so excited for this stuff :D

I don't wanna be one of those people, but other social platforms like Neos have had most or all of these features for a little while. In-game economy, avatar dynamics, face tracking, etc. Not to mention a way nicer dev team who do weekly updates and are really open. If people have issues with VRchat and want something potentially better, I'd seriously beg them to look into alternate social VR platforms. Just see what's out there, what features other platforms have, and if you wanna move there (either part-time or full-time). I'm currently in the process of moving my RU-vid video production from VRchat to Neos, simply because I have way more freedom there. I can build my own set from within the game (Unity is like Latin to me) using either free assets available in Neos or importing my own, I can spawn props if needed in any world, I can use stuff like face and eye trackers (Neos supports basically everything), etc. It's not perfect though, the tools and UI aren't very newcomer friendly, there's a serious lack of user generated content or users in general, and there's no Quest version to make it easy to get into the game (to be fair you could argue this is a good thing, keeps all the annoying Rec Room kids out). But I can honestly say I prefer Neos's tools and community to VRchat's, although I still love VRchat's worlds and the countless friends I've made there. It makes me wish VRchat was as open as Neos, or at the very least had a dev team that was more open and friendly. Recently they tried a mass ban on players who used mods, without even considering that most people who used mods were using ones that only added quality of life improvements (such as being able to browse worlds while laying down). Naturally it backfired hard on them and they undid the ban, but it really goes to show how out of touch they are with their users.

Thank you so much for the video Phia, a lot of great information.

Thank the gods i found your channel Phia, now i can keep myself updated.

nice round up as i am a streamer i missed the dev stream and this was a great way to catch up thanks

I know your pain about the audio bug happening during an event. So annoying to get back in.

I'm looking forward to the group feature as I see it's potential for greatness. Although I'm worried the pay walling will create a divide between paid users and free users. It's good monetization and I see it's benefits but there could be drawbacks we can't see right now that will grow.

LETS GOOOO UNITY 2019!!! Ey, thx for informing and cool vid! Liked it allready!!!

Audio bug got me 6 times yesterday lmao

Thanks for compiling all this info!

Muchas gracias. Muy bien explicado. Excelente video.

Thank you for this video update ♥

Great video 👍 Subbed!

I'm so excited for all the future updates! I've always wanted to walk into a merchant world and shop for really high quality avatars.

I love this M64 music. Listening to this and your voice is perfect ! 😸

I REALY rarely use VRC in general but from what I'm seeing here, that even makes me excited to use VRC in the future again ! especialy the physics based stuff and the groups, which makes giving your mods there mod powers even in VRC a nice thing for community events

What I'm getting from this is that there will be VR strip clubs that you pay the dancers real money.

Honestly probably wouldn't have heard about any of this without the video so thanks!

a good idea for the creator thing is to make it so you have to get a certain badge from a vrchat moderator (or someone in charge) before you can sell content or be able to get paid for different services. you would have to reach out to someone who can give a certain badge or permission to be able to sell content and then you can make money in vrchat. this badge can also be taken away if you violate various terms like stealing, overpriced items, lying about prices, etc etc. i’d say that you should get permission or a badge to be able to sell things. this would prevent people from copying avatars/worlds or recording audio from a musician and playing it on their mic for money. lemme know if this seems like a good idea 🥰

Rippers are super excited right now. Vrchat avatar and asset black market anyone. Or better yet, avatar and asset gangs. You pay them monthly to use their avatars and assets. if you don't pay them, they crash you or your system.

Honestly, I feel like the locking things behind groups is gonna suck and its just gonna have a ton of worlds being like "Join our group to get the full experience" or in story maps they might be like "To get the actual ending join our group and go into this room instead" and if that happens its not gonna have the feeling of being free to join any group you want like they want it to be and instead its gonna feel more like its mandatory to join tons of groups if you want to have fun, which might also ruin immersion. I hope they do something like making world hosts be able to unlock the areas for everyone, so if a person needs it for events they can keep it locked to certain people (maybe also make it possible to whitelist/blacklist people from a server menu) but also allow for small groups to have fun exploring/chilling in worlds without feeling like they are being forced to sign up to some group you don't care about.

4:55 Phantom Touch boutta be even cooler

I just hope there will be nicer communities I can try and find 🥺

Immersion is important to me. Happy to see that we'll have more ways to interact.

the BEST tldr I've seen of the dev stream, this is great

Hey is there a bug on vr chat where on oculus quest where audio can have a static ish sound to the normal auido or is it just me?

At the part 3:54, is quest users gonna be able to touch avatars too?

this makes me super freakin excited

Wait, but with the avatar physics, are they still gonna be pc only? Or would they include quest support?

I'm so excited ;;

Not much of VRchat user myself but i find your content interesting all the same. I wish you luck and good fortune, PHIA, both IRL and in VR, heh.

I think what I’m most looking forward to is something which wasn’t actually mentioned in this video. It has apparently been stated by the VRChat team that they are going to try and communicate with some of the top mod creators in VRChat to try and work out why people use mods. It’s no secret that mods are used, but it’s obvious that they provide something positive if so many people use them. Modding in VRChat has been a controversial topic for a long time, however, I believe non-malicious mods can be highly effective at improving the game, providing features like better menu placement, customisable ui and improved fullbody tracking, all through a few clicks. I think these kinds of features would improve VRChat a lot and the team could get a lot of great ideas through the existing mods. Knowing that features which you are not technically allowed to use right now, but improve gameplay a lot, may become a part of the main game is so exciting to me and I can’t wait to see what happens in that aspect of the game. I would also like to add that I am not justifying malicious mods such as ripper clients, increased speed etc, but mods that make small changes to make the game much more enjoyable without affecting other people (especially not in a negative way), are often misjudged. I would like people to see the good in the modding community of VRChat and why many choose to do something which is technically against the ToS. :)

i get the bug where after loading into the first world, when i go to another world later, after downloading the data it just hangs and won't load the world, have not been on in a bit so unsure if that was fixed or if it is just from me having a 6 year old computer

6:00 I keep getting lucky with finding people that are nice. Like when I first hopped into VRChat on my quest, I went to the main world and met a very nice person (who I still play with today). The same thing happened with Omegle (still have the guy friended)

with some of the physics i am curious if could implement to where if someone has a visor u can lift it up or touch activation movement. like if u grab on a part of ur avatar and it turn off or on an object and be able to move it and store it but only is set in menu options it would build the immersion more if ur objects were interactive and activated outside menus and mere to u actually doing the motion to remove or active it on ur avatar instead of base hand grip and then model appears ,and to not only implement this on base avatars but other people can grip ur objects and move them off as well like grabing a helmet off ur friends avatar model and sitting it to the side ,i have been in vrc since it started im definatly excited to see it grow, a search criteria list for world searching would help also since worlds are gonna explode these next years something to where u can get listed worlds to whut ur looking for in specific genres that list a menu list for them cause there are some hidden gems maps in vrchat that are hard to find so i think a criteria search would aid on exploration and finding worlds that might get lost in the listing and get worlds lnked to listing crieria ur looking for as per say world specific to game maps ,horrer ,christmas ,physic flight ,etc, ui menu ocupacity options and color wheel choices to change the color of the ui to whut u wish ,cause base ui element has been same color since the begining

these are the things i wanted in vr chat actually.

Will the dynamics be on quest as well or no?

The paywalling stuff reminds me of what made whirled fail. (Whirled was basically a 2D vrchat made in the mid 2000s, it used to have millions of players, hundreds of thousands which would be online at a time, but now the recreated version of whirled has a max of 16 people online at once.)

some of these features are also in rec room already but I'm looking forward to what's to come.

Is the avatar dynamics going to be on every platform people play vrchat on?

As an avatar creator, I'm happy to hear about people being able to buy avatars within the game. Also another one of my biggest hopes for VRChat is that it will lay out the ground work for VRMMORPG's. I've tried playing Orbus but I hate that all the characters look like gender neutral Nintendo Mii characters. Not exactly the SAO / .hack//sign experience I was looking for. But while VRCHat may not be an MMORPG, it feels like a real life version of Ready Player One which itself is very awesome.
