Hi All.

The big goal here, an extension of the app that allows other people to visit you inside your home, interact and play games with you... is starting to take shape. I've been hustling hard to implement multiplayer networking code over the last several months. 

My goal was to release an update last week that allowed for social interaction within the custom home environment, just simple face-to-face interaction. Everything went smoothly until I ran into problems with voice chat. Felt like the 'last big hurdle' but i couldn't get it working. It didn't make sense to release the update because 'chatting' was pretty much the only thing you could do together.

I have a new solution for voice networking, it will work much better, but will take a bit more time to implement. Maybe by friday.

In the meantime, I've gone a bit further with the current voiceless guest setup, and set it up to allow for loading in-out of all the different carts.  A VR guest has artificial locomotion (left thumbstick walk, for now) Custom Home & Places work nicely, the host can bring a guest in and out of these different environments, including complex custom home setups with the skybox and lighting settings. Snake works as a multiplayer game, you can see the other snakes and race for the same dots.

I think i'm gonna release the update today, multiplayer, no voice. Still running on a test server (max 20 users, will upgrade when needed) but since there isn't very much to do, and we aren't the biggest pool of players, I don't expect that the servers will be very active. Eventually, I'll have a 'free' version of the app just for guests, and you'll be able to invite any of your friends to install the app and join you. But not yet.

Also, if you are a user who wants to be able to download an .obj file of the custom environment you've created with the software, I can do that for you with this current setup. We will have to arrange a time to meetup in game (eventually, this will be automated for the user to do easily) but I know some people want to use the software like this, so i'm putting the option out now.

See you all soon :) :) :)
