|
| Hey HN! I've been working on this project for a few months now
| and I thought this would be a good time to release a beta
| version. DJ3D will keep Youtube videos in sync with a group of up
| to 30 people, and each person gets a fun little avatar in a 3D
| world to mess around with. All you have to do is create a room
| and share the URL!
|
| Tech stack:
|
| - Agones + nengi for the multiplayer
|
| - three.js for rendering
|
| - Firestore for video syncing
|
| Coming Soon:
|
| - Usernames
|
| - Chat
|
| - Video queuing
|
| - More expressive features (dances, emotes, etc.)
|
| Sorry if you encounter any issues, it's still a work in progress.
| Feel free to report bugs or give feature suggestions at our
| Discord!

| Could you have the room creator limit what features are
| available? I could see this being a valuable tool for education
| when the feature set is minimal but very fun for social
| situations when the feature set is fully activated.
| masterspy7 wrote:
| Definitely. I already added the option for the room creator
| to limit who can change the video. Will keep the education
| use-case in mind for future things like this! Thanks for the
| feedback

| I love this! I would be perfect is the little guy can jump in the
| cubes like in a platformer, it's amazing that you have all this
| space to run, but it's a litte boring if you can't climb thins or
| hit/interact with other users. But lovely idea, cheers. (sorry
| for my english)

| Really nice, genuinely felt like i was in a theater.

| Thank you! Glad you liked it. Yea, I've had similar, theater-
| like experiences in VR before but I thought it could be fun
| without a headset as well.

| This is cool! Needs some form of chat though And a way to release

| masterspy7 wrote:
| Thanks! Yes, chat is coming soon. And you can press ESC to get
| your cursor back.

| It's so cool!!
|
| One weird thing, it seems like jumping makes the video restart
|
| EDIT: Okay it seemed to stop doing that after I enabled and
| disabled my cursor again

| This is so awesome. Let me customize my guy.
|
| EDIT: You could develop this into a full-blown virtual movie
| theater experience. Add a snack bar and rows of seats. Maybe you
| could even sell virtual popcorn to people.

| Nice! Some feature ideas after using it:
|
| - It would be great if you could use your webcam as your face, in
| addition to the emojis.
|
| - Ability to send messages in the room and have them appear above
| your head would be a nice feature.
|
| - Being able to set your username would be nice so you know who
| is who.
|
| - It would be cool if there was multiple room types, and the
| creator of the room can pick one (A theatre, a grassy field, a
| living room, etc.).

| Complete with keyboard and mouse. Why ever leave the game?

| Loved it! It would be cool if it had a list of public rooms.

| This is very exciting. I have been browsing /shownew lately here
| and this is another project that is very inspiring.
|
| I have a hard time staying focused when watching programming
| tutorials, or any educational content really. I felt so much more
| relaxed and focused having the ability to let my character jump
| around while watching the content.
|
| Plus this will be a great tool with the social distancing
| measures being taken.
|
| Thank you for sharing!
