More Resonite shenanigans! Yutram and I worked on our avatars a bit with some science, and then we spent the rest of the evening adventuring through more worlds. We followed a cat to a hand drawn spirit realm. I’m sure it looks even more amazing in VR.
Then I ended the evening listening to records with Bong and one of their friends. Twas a nice evening overall. 🙂
Our movie night was a success! We decided to watch the 1977 Japanese Comedy/Horror Film “House”. It was one hell of an experience that taught me that even horror films have their super sentai moments. It’s about a young girl who travels with her friends to visit her Aunt’s house, and then things get really interesting. It was full of 1970’s campiness, and managed to hold anime/manga vibes. We had some good laughs watching it tonight! We also did some world building afterwards, and a bit more exploration. We found a dreamscape world that dances to music. The skybox even has audio visualizers, the trees and rocks dance in tune with the music and it’s just a whole vibe I can appreciate!
I may be playing a lot of Resonite, but I’ve at least been learning about model porting and Blender along my travels. Tonight I successfully ported over the lotus I wear in the YouTube vids, and thanks to the help of Yutram and Bong they helped me retexture it. There will be plenty more opportunities for me to burn more knowledge into my brain as I bring over more accessories and models. We’re thinking of having another weekend movie night in one of the cinema worlds tomorrow, now we just need to decide on what to watch…
One moment a friend wanted to know if I wanted to pal around with them in their TARDIS in Resonite, and the next I got to meet a friendo of theirs, and from there we did some world hopping. Since playing Resonite I’ve already accumulated a couple hundred gigs of footage, will have to go through it at some point!
Tonight in Resonite: We accidentally stumbled upon a world with puzzles to solve. We got through quite a few of them before deciding to call it a night. Other than that I’ve been continuing to learn how things work. My nameplate now has a custom font, and I’m learning how to attach models to other models so that I can recreate the nightmare fuel from my SFM sessions.
Too tired to post anything tonight, so instead I share with you a video of cats and a toy train.
Open Thread!
Today in Resonite we paid a visit to a cursed looking zoo map. It had a mix of moving animals, non moving animals, a couple talismans that turned you into animals… and an exhibit for feral lawn chairs. It had quite a bit going on in it.
Then we decided to take up some gardening! We grew tulips, carrots, wheat, and most importantly of all… watermelons. It was a nice relaxing map, the three of us had a good time. Then after we completed all of our farming for the day we went cinema hopping.
We still have a few more cinema maps to explore, but I think we’re on the right track. We watched a couple small videos before calling it a night. I wasn’t even planning on hopping into Resonite today, but when a friend mentioned they were wanting to do some science there it was hard for me to say no.
Resonite is basically a more modern hybrid of VR Chat and Garry’s Mod. I doubt it will fully replace GMod for me, but it does offer unlimited possibilities. So far we’ve been to a zoo, became farmers, went diving for records, visited the cinema and there’s SO MUCH MORE to explore! I’m looking forward to my next excursion! 😀
We didn’t mean to spend the entire weekend in Resonite… but here we be! Started off by showing a friend the world where we found the VHS tapes and player, then watched them take it apart to understand how its coded, then we ended the evening by visiting a record store, with working records! I saved some to my inventory to play in my digital home. Found some oldies, new stuff, game soundtracks, and all kinds of other crazy stuff. I’m liking the amount of variety this game offers.
I’m finding almost anything is possible in Resonite. At one point we took a train down to Black Mesa, then a friend of a friend showed up and sent us on adventures in their TARDIS, then we traveled from world to world and accidentally had a movie night together. We watched The Blob, and found a whole bunch of other movies for next time!
One thing I’ve noticed traveling between different worlds in Resonite is a severe lack of collisions for world objects and fixtures. There was a hotel we visited earlier that had NO COLLISIONS WHATSOEVER. You could walk through walls, fireplaces, desks… why? The only thing fun about it was listening to one of my friends rage about it.
We had a small Resonite get together earlier this evening. We explored a few cool worlds, worlds that I would probably enjoy even more in VR. I wish I lived in an area where VR Headsets could be demoed in person. I don’t want to invest hundreds of dollars into a VR Headset if it’s just going to nauseate me. We found a few cool party worlds, a relaxing spa/bath world, a desert oasis and more! I felt like a kid in a candy story as we took turns choosing what worlds looked the most interesting or the most cursed. We all had a good time. 🙂
