Exoplanet Journey: Quasar update (0.99i)

New scene: Quasar

The Quasar scene has moved out of Early Access and is now available for all users. A quasar is an extremely bright and energetic galactic core, powered by a supermassive black hole. As matter spirals into the black hole’s accretion disk, it heats up and emits colossal amounts of radiation. Quasars often launch powerful particle jets that extend for thousands of light-years, shaping their host galaxies and illuminating the cosmos.

New VRChat world: Flat Earth

They call me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. Then I built a world — a virtual world — flat as far as the eye can see, with an ice wall sealing its edges. That’s when the veil began to lift.

This isn’t just another VRChat world. It’s a gateway. A reconstruction of the truth they buried beneath centuries of lies. I followed the patterns. I connected the dots. I went deeper than I should have.

Most stop at the edge. But if you keep going… you’ll find there’s more. Muc...

ShadeArt

Excited to share a new world I created on the HTC VIVERSE platform — a commissioned project built in collaboration with THE SHUSHU. While my main focus is usually on creating immersive experiences in VRChat, I occasionally explore other metaverse systems, and this was a great opportunity to experiment with HTC VIVERSE and its WebGL-based engine.

The world is a shader-driven environment inspired by my AI-art world "Dimensions" in VRChat. I developed a custom set of WebGL shaders using...
