Day 9, It's really late

Spent a little time contributing to the creator docs.

No aesthetic changes today but now there's mirror toggles around the world with automatic hiding to save performance if you forget to turn one off

You can also disable mirrors entirely from the settings menu.

Day 8 and I'm on the final stretch.

Added a cute balcony with chairs. There's new furnature colliders and chairs with toggles in the settings menu. There's also now a trans flag to decorate the ceiling.

I voiced my woes on the vrchat discord and ArranAsh (Ashy) made me an amazing thumbnail.

Day 7 Hooooo boy. Spent some time making a really nice balcony and rope ladder near the enterance with a custom collider.

Also spent an hour better optimizing for quest, finally found the official guide and scrunched some stuff together and reduced the polycount to the reccommended amount.

Also experimented with more EasyQuestSwitch stuff, and will likely be making more quest optimized shaders to switch things out with.

Day five, I'm taking abreak

visits are stalling a solid 2/3rds under the clout tax

its almost like labs unfairly punishes new creators without prexisting fanbases

please visit my world

Ah shit ah fuck *crashes through ceiling*

Not a lot of new content today, Spent all my world dev spoons doing a lot of udon sharp dev on a secret project

I also made some nice (hopefully) more language independent icons, though it's not live yet.

Don't know if I mentioned it but there's also a new photo wall of my and my found family.

There's a few empty spots I still have yet to fill, so if you reply with a photo from the world I will likely add it to the wall!

New UI overhaul!!!

Fixed the bug with the heavy rain from yesterday, learned a lot about making UI work.

The update is live on desktop and quest: https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_463453b8-4710-4d46-97a5-8c617b0727ca

- Practiced a basic blender cloth sim and made a pretty little cloth covering
- Video player should now cover the whole room!
- Added some photos of my found family (there's still a few empty spots I need to find pictures for)
- Scooted the carpet over to make the room feel a bit more adherent to feng shui (thanks Dear Modern!)
- Some tweaks to the dynamic weather system, still needs a lot though.
- Added a bed collider!
- Removed some hidden experimental stuff from the world entirely to save on size

known bug: I left the heavy rain system on. 🤦‍♀️​It's not connected to the sim at all yet so it just runs at full blast at all times. It's not worth spending another 20 mins to reupload just to fix a checkbox, so It'll wait until next update.

Gonna set myself aside one, 25 min pomodoro session a day to work on it

messed around with some heavier rain effects, gonna try and add network syncing and accompanying sounds before I publish it though.
