Merry Murder 4!
I've set up holiday decorations and other fun stuff in Audience Anarchy, Magic Freeze Tag, and Murder 4. Once again, Santa Claus returns to Murder 4 to let you sit on his lap if you unlock every single one of the increasingly difficult scavenger hunt objectives. Can you find all the hidden objects, while people are trying to murder you? I guess we'll see. The scavenger hunt starts off pretty easy but it gets a lot harder toward the end. Good luck.
Included are two new avatar rewards, Mr...

Thanks for all your support! Right now we have 75 / 200 required signatures on the Pawn Plushie makeship campaign!
The campaign only runs for 5 more days, before makeship decides to make the pawn plushie or not. So I encourage you to let your friends know about it! Perhaps some friends on VRChat who enjoy Audience Anarchy, after all that place is crawling with pawns.
I hope we can make it!

Did you finish the Halloween scavenger hunt? I had a lot of fun hiding candy, skulls, entities, and more in Murder 4, and I hope you've had fun finding them.
Only a few days left to find everything and unlock the final tier: The PAWN PLUSHIE!
The Halloween update and plushie reward lasts until November 3rd. Then this little fella will be gone...

Halloween stuff is here! Again!
Until the first week of November... probably around November 3rd.
I put in an exceptionally evil scavenger hunt! It starts off easy (Just find candy laying around the mansion), but each stage of the scavenger hunt involved stranger objects and more devious hiding spots... you might have to ask some friends for help. Complete all 8 tiers of the scavenger hunt track to unlock the avatar pedestals for my 3 new Halloween avatars, plus all the previous year...

It's spooky month so I am working on some spooky updates and hopefully another spooky game world! They are not finished yet but should be before Halloween of course.
VRChat announced the spookality game jam the other week, so I only just started on a fresh new game idea a few days ago.
Even if I run out of time for this new game, I would like to publish it anyway. So it might be later in October. (UPDATE- Okay so I definitely ran out of time for the game jam!...

Two temporary holiday events happening now:
-Murder 4 has some temporary april fools memes just for today. They are nothing crazy and will last until April Fool's day is over, ish. I think until wednesday.
-Magic Freeze Tag has been "taken over by VR Rat" and is cheese-ified. This VRRat event in VRChat is being done by several worlds, and will last a while I believe, I think it's at least a week. I added two new obstacles that I've been meaning to test out, a one-way lunch pad and a gia...

Merry Murder 4!
Holiday event returns! Similar to the Halloween event, I've added a scavenger hunt with a variety of hidden items of different shapes and sizes for you to find.
Collect enough of them and you can unlock 2 new avatars, a toy, and the ability to sit on Santa's lap and wish for basically anything you want. But only if you've been good and innocent this year. You haven't been committing any ...

Now that VRChat supports saving persistent data, I added some achievements that you can earn while playing Murder 4. Your progress is saved even when you leave the world and come back later!
There are currently 61 achievements to earn, for a variety of special circumstances. Some are specific to being the Murderer, Detective or Bystander, and there are 9 "secret" achievements that you'll have ...
2024-11-24 03:28:46 +0000 UTC View PostGhost Hunters released!
I actually released this world a week ago, but there were some bugs to fix and Spookality hadn't started yet. But now I'm proud to present... Ghost Hunters!
Up to 11 players team up to hunt the ghost and banish it from the mansion-- and one player is the ghost! The ghost is invisible,, but you can sense its presence through sounds and vibrations. Shine your light on the ghost to drain its energy and make it run away!

Murder 4 Halloween returns!
From now until November, Murder 4 is spooky!
All the holiday decorations and special items from last year have returned (Spider, tarot cards, the crystal ball, EMF reader).
Also featuring a new scavenger hunt! The format is the same, but the candy hiding spots are different. Unlock 2 new avatars (plus avatars from last year), Benedict Scarecrow and Myrtle Ghost variants. You'll also need to find vanishing skulls (listen for the ghostly sounds).

Pawn NPCs
Pawns. We love pawns. In Audience Anarchy, pawns are just kind of hanging around the place. But why? And what are they? And what is their purpose? In this blog post, I will answer none of these questions. Instead, here is a behind-the-scenes look at how the pawns work. Perhaps it could inspire you to add your own NPCs to your own worlds.
The first step is to have a model. This doesn't need to b...

Have you ever wanted to use the Audience Anarchy studio and backdrops for making your own videos? Well now you can!
I've created an alternate version of Audience Anarchy, except with no rules or automation. Instead, the director can choose the backdrop and background music manually. You can even put in your own image URLs or video URLs to use as a backdrop!
I also provided a "Random Prompt" button, which will generate a random concept that you can act out, if you want. For exampl...

Halloween time!
Murder 4's mansion is dark and decrepit once more! Like last year, collect the tarot cards to use the Crystal Ball or wait for the lights to turn off to earn a bonus clue in the dining room. This year I have added a scavenger hunt where you can unlock two spooky avatar variants... and a secret prop if you can find every single candy! The final tier of the search is pretty hard but hopefully not too hard.

Audience Anarchy and Halloween stuff!
Audience Anarchy is coming soon, and that means... I'm going to host at LEAST 2 playtest nights.
You'll have to be in the discord server (discord.gg/cult-of-jar) or the Cult of Jar VRChat group.
Play test 1: THURSDAY, OCT 5 at 9 EST
Play test 2: FRIDAY, OCT 6 at 9 EST
After that, stay tuned for news about the Screenplay Writing Workshop stream!
New world title?
Coming soon-- a world that looks like a TV studio, where the audience submits random funny words into a script, and the actors have to say them.
It's got sketch comedy, audience participation, improv acting, and of course, laugh tracks.
BUT WHAT TO NAME THIS WORLD?
