The Great Pug - West is now live on VRChat! This is a new unique second location of The Great Pug that was built with Oculus Quest in mind. It is smaller, has a lower player cap and has fewer moving parts.
Some of you may have seen work was being done to port The Great Pug to Oculus Quest. If you had an Oculus Go or an early Oculus Quest, you might have even tried it out yourself! But I have c...

The Halloween Party this year went great! The Pug hit about 1,500 concurrent guests at peak. This is 3x higher than last year.
This time around, the music consumed 18TB of bandwidth. Around 14TB was used during the party and the following day. Another 4TB was used when the music was reconnected for Halloween night. This traffic was delivered by my main CDN. Amazon ...

We all know VRChat has its share of performance problems. And getting a smooth experience with 20+ people in the room is not the easiest thing.

I see the need to add an additional tier of the $5 level for those who would like to contribute at that level (thank you!) but are not interested in hanging up a flyer.

Additionally, those of you who have pledged but have not yet talked to me about flyers, please message me either here or on Discord!

I've created an overview of how The Vantage works and posted it here:

I have created a little tool for generating VRChat links. It makes the process of creating links for private worlds a bit easier.

Currently the VRChat UI is such that you can't re-join invite only instances you make from inside the app.

Bandwidth
The music and associated lighting effect consumed 5 Terabytes of bandwidth during the event, and it seems it loaded properly for everyone thanks to the new CDN I am using.
