Summary

VRChat was developed in 2014 for the Occulus DK-1 headset by Graham Gaylor and Jesse Joudrey. Initially, it was created as an online site where users with VR headsets could meet and get together with others who had similar interests and VR equipment like themselves. However, it was only around 2017 when VRChat was released on Steam at a massive level that the platform grew in popularity for both VR and non-VR users alike. VRChat became practically available to anyone interested in visiting an online Virtual World where they could join in a variety of activities as well as meet other users and make friends.

Plot

Suffice it to say, VRChat as an online adventure does not have a single plot. More than just an online game or set of games, VRChat is a Virtual World community platform where the users or players are free to engage in whatever adventure, activity, or virtual encounters they choose to do so within the Virtual World framework.

Each available game has its own plot or objectives and the virtual maps (or worlds) that abound are Open-World experiences where users can make up their own storylines and adventures. In whatever genre a plot can be created, it would really be up to the users and content creators to keep the platform active and alive. Community spaces where users congregate abound where people dance, sing, and chat, and the main plot is simply to make friends and hang around.

Gameplay

VRChat is a 3D first-person digital experience whether one is using a VR headset or a computer screen. Just like a 3D FPS game, the user can walk around any Virtual World environment he (or she) chooses without a weapon except in the case of playing a shooter (or similar) game.

In community areas, the idea is to encounter and interact with other people via their avatars. You can either type, or talk to them with a mic, and vice versa, so can they with you. The gameplay will depend on whichever VRChat game you choose to join or play. An FPS shooter plays like a shooter and in a sports game like bowling, well, you have to hit the pins with a bowling ball.

Exploring a world may mean walking, climbing, or running around, as well as examining this or that. With a VR headset, movement is a way lot flexible than using the keyboard-mouse combination in front of a PC screen.

Community

The community in VRChat is diverse. Hailing from different backgrounds and locations worldwide not to mention the age range, it is unlikely not to encounter people from all walks of life. Not everyone has the same temperament so people tend to group together with those they are comfortable with. Special attention has to be given to children and minors though, as there are users who are less responsible and tend to get carried away. In every jungle is a snake, and VRChat is no exception. Regardless, many of the users are friendly and just want to have fun although, in certain instances, one should not take any insult or verbal abuse sitting down. Users have rights in VRChat and people do get banned. Just stick with the clique, and the people with the same interest as you, and everyone's sure to get along.

Graphics and Sound

As far as 3D on a screen goes, VRChat is adequate enough for a Virtual World of its size. In VR, the experience becomes amazingly surreal. The platform and its app have settings and features that can be adjusted depending on your rig and connection to insure that you get the best experience possible out of it. Compromises will have to be made and the more detailed the appearance you want to have, the more the load on the equipment you have. Likewise, ambient sound and audio will likely depend on the same factors as graphics performance so adjusting your sound settings will be needed as well. Regardless, a lot of amazing eye candy will be around to immerse you throughout your stay.

Conclusion

VRChat is a Virtual World in Cyberspace. It is a way for people from far-flung locations worldwide to communicate with each other, hang around, and make friends. However, keep in mind that you cannot treat friendship the same way as when you meet someone in person, go out for drinks, lunch, or dinner, and hang around in real life. These are people you really know and not some avatar who may look really good but turn out to be Freddie Kruger in real life (one, two, tie my shoe…three, four). Be careful is still the #1 advice. There are ways to personally get to know your pal in VRChat like eMail, Facebook, LinkedIn, and the like. For those however where a casual, non-personal encounter would suffice, VRChat is a great way to go.
