The first time I saw something like this was in a music-focused virtual world from the 2000s. Strangers would strike up conversations with each other, dance (in some cases to well-known artists), wander around to see what others were doing, and generally just hang out.
It's cool to see things like this, I wasn't aware of. I made something similar for VR around 6 or 7 years ago with full DJ mixing on real vinyl turntables. I got things built so DJs could play their set from anywhere in the world and have access to their music from their own studio or home etc. Unfortunately i was one guy making this and health issues have sadly put this project on hold indefinitely. It would be a shame to let it die like this and would love others to carry the project further.
What would be the best way to share this, i really don't know as i made it using unity engine, all my own assets, scripts etc are made by me, no vibe coding or anything like that.
Here's a couple of videos of the project if anybody is interested in carrying this further, please let me know thanks.
Super cool, during covid times I sorta started making a system where you could back2back dj mix with a remote friend, but never really got anywhere. Would love to pick it up again, or know if there have been some new developments in this field? There are some ‘jam together’ type projects but as I recall, these werent really suitable for DJ mixing electronic music (latency wise).
Making movement on IJKL instead of WASD is kind of evil
My arrow keys are broken.
Good for lefties!
I think allowing jumping would add a lot. looking over the top of a whole crowd would be more visually dynamic.
Good idea. PR will be accepted.

I love silly stuff like this and can only hope that with AI we see more of it. Enjoyed dropping in and the beats were fire.
More is less now. :(
Very cool to vibe out with folks anonymously. Almost like the old days where you could go to a rave and be you without fear someone would take pictures or people outside the rave would know who you are. Would love an option to cycle skin colors / tones.
I hear this all the time as a rationalization for why people don't go out anymore, but I don't buy it. You're afraid people on the internet might see you having fun? I've had people shove a phone in my face and take video while I was out dancing. It's rude, but it's not a big deal. The reason people don't go out is because Live Nation/Ticketmaster made live music outrageously expensive and strangled small venues.
I don’t buy that as the or even a reason. I’m older and we had raves before any legit venue would touch them. I remember once a venue was forced to cancel due to local law enforcement pressure. It happened the day before. Word spread real quick that we would just meet in a field on someone’s private land, a place we regularly had keg parties and most teenagers were aware of. We always found a way to party in those days. It was the number one objective every week, knowing where we would party on the upcoming weekend. This all was in 90s before anyone I knew had a mobile phone and the internet was not very useful yet.
My observation is that we were just bored a lot. It has been a long time since young people have been as bored as we were back then.
Totally different decade, but my 90s high school experience was very similar to the movie Dazed and Confused. It’s odd how similar those experiences were versus what has come with the tech disruption of youth.
Come to Berlin, you get stickers for the phones cameras and if you film/take photos you’re thrown out..
Yeah, skin colors is a good idea and good for first PR :)
And it was immediately fouled by racism.
Yeah that's not very PLUR :(
Not sure why you're being downvoted - I had a blast until the inevitable edgelords spamming the N word. Maybe worth someone adding a PR to filter out such words.
Yeah, I added some but they find ways around it. Eventually I'm monitoring and blocking ips manually. Needs an admin area to make this easier.
Its inevitable in public spaces, especially when there is an ounce of anonymity.
you could use llama guard or openai's omni-moderation model to flag bad actors
what-a-way to pre-start a work day. Thanks for the contrib! :D
I like it! but without ability to execute own dance moves, not really dancing... Tried with keyboard but it didn't work.. Now imagining infrared webcam thing and some DIY stick on reflective things.. set up your own rave cave, attach sensors, dance, your virtual self mirrors... now you're raving
You could also actually go to a rave. It should be easier than setting up your VR environment.
That would be great, can you make a PR for it?
Fun while it lasted, really cool !
Looks like we hugged it to death though, server is down..
Fun idea! I was surprised that it loaded on mobile and UI was kinda reasonable but I could tap any buttons to move or do anything. I’ll look into sending a PR for fixing that.
That would be amazing. I think it would require a complete rethinking for mobile/tablet a different branch of controls.
You already have all the buttons on screen. Making them clickable would make it usable on mobile.
Reminds me of the minecraft based raves during the pandemic.
Did this get hugged to death? Not loading for me at all.
It was crashing but now it should be ok. Until a new bug arises.
Do it for VR
Seems to be down! Timeout
This is really cool!
Rave chat was working fine until I wrote "I think rust is overrated" and I can no longer see my or anyone else's messages. Yes, really.
if you type "I use Arch btw" you'll be unshadowbanned
It was crashing so you were losing the connection. Now this should be fixed.
haha what a fun site :D.
Two dance sections to the rave site, will you be adding a Psytrance section?
Hopefully many more! Definitely also Psy. Ty!
add a real player count
Events for the age of the Starbucks dweller. Oh boy.
Kinda cool! What's the max concurrency?
Should scale pretty well to hundreds, only key state changes and clothes/messages/etc changes are synced when they happen, it uses dead-reckoning, client authoritative and it's pretty accurate/fast.
Ah cool. So you replace NPCs with real players as they come in, or add them into the mix?
Add them. The graphics support many more. That's why it's low poly. Of course if it gets popular I will start reducing the NPC count. Now they're there otherwise there's no "rave party" feeling.
ok bro this is fire!!! I wish I would not be able to interact with the playback of the video, I think what's fun is knowing that we are all listening to the exactly the same
Ty!! That's the idea but it needs some work to get there. It's possible though.
building something similar, but this is way ahead
The people who worked on the metaverse must be jealous
The closest we've ever been!
usernames would be cool chat too
Looks like you have a serious moderation problem, there are racists running around using n-word racist slurs
PR we add guns and we shoot each other. This is a rave party. Only love.
I try to moderate now, but they keep coming back with different ips.
it's easier for people to use slurs then to contribute to the source and make it better.

how do we know it’s not black people using the n-word though, which they do all the time?
Exactly the type of post you want from someone working on a mental health app...
I think this is the single most retarded comment I've ever read on HN.

The code is right there and MIT licensed. Be the change you want to see.
Trees are dying because of this game. The epa should go after these folks for all their money.
That's why we planted a tree in the game.
Isn't that true of all games, and even for comments on this website? Sorry if I am just missing the sarcasm.

Are you the kind of guy that says that all things that serve no purpose except for entertainment should be banned?
I am of the opposite school. I think practical things are fine and dandy, but the things that make us human, make life worth living, are all "useless".
The first time I saw something like this was in a music-focused virtual world from the 2000s. Strangers would strike up conversations with each other, dance (in some cases to well-known artists), wander around to see what others were doing, and generally just hang out.
I think it was called vSide.

Add a README file, bro
I don't want to push now because it will restart the server and break all connections :/
add [skip ci] to your commit message

I added.
And at least one screenshot
