"Who is Varneon?" It was about time to make a video introducing myself and what I actually do!

I would like to formally apologize to @MochieShaders. I simply had no idea how incredible results their standard shader would actually be capable of producing. I must do better to get outside of my comfort zone more often to keep pushing the boundaries. #VRChat #unity3d

I'm planning to start using an opt-in role in my VRChat group (VARN.7418) for posting about GitHub releases (VRChat prefabs and Unity Editor extensions). Distribution is slowly expanding to VCC (VPM) so people will see updates there, but should the VRChat group notify about:
12%Only first public release
58%All releases and updates
29%Create roles for both

I'm pretty sure my stupid vague posting and character limit got in the way of getting the message across... The new music player is available for download right now! (like... for a week by now) #VRChat github.com/Varneon/VUdon-Mus…
Time to stop polishing the turd and just let people have it! Things didn't really go as planned, the music player ended up spending over a year in Patreon early access and I lost motivation to work on it over the past year... Worked last 2 days towards the first public release:

The end user workflow of the world markers is starting to get finalized! Icon atlas assets are now stored as ScriptableObjects with embedded materials (similar to TextMeshPro). Edit the names on the atlas assets => descriptor icon popup will display all available icons by name.

With the content update out of the way, I can focus on UX and open source prefabs again, and now I have my sights on finally packaging up World Markers. Today's major improvements are - Size controlled per instance - Background opacity (helps with visibility) - Alignment anchors

I have spent the entire day reworking all icons and shapes on the new music player, and the entire UI now only uses a single 512x512 texture! This upgrade removes the need for sprite packing to be enabled while still maximizing performance. #VRChat

I also reworked the playlist indicator, swapping it from a static play icon to an animated shader that breathes a little more life to the otherwise static UI.

The Military Surplus Update will also add a new feature to help with driving at night! You will be able to toggle a personal headlamp from the world's quick menu in order to better see what you're interacting with. #VRChat

Finally, the upcoming Military Surplus Update's Creator Economy Gold supporter vehicle will be a utility truck that made a brief appearance in the video. That should wrap up the teasers for the update, stay tuned for the final release announcement!

The bed of the truck was feeling a little empty and I know how happy people are to do everything in their power to shove as many players into the vehicles as possible, so I threw some couches in the back, resulting in a total of 9 seats on the truck!
Quick sneak peek of a new Creator Economy Platinum vehicle from the upcoming Military Surplus Update! This will be the first vehicle to feature a true solid axle configuration alongside 4WD (every vehicle so far has been RWD) #VRChat #unity3d

Time to introduce the Creator Economy Silver vehicle that will be part of the upcoming Military Surplus Update. A 1/4-ton 4x4 from the 50s - Perfect set of wheels for some off-road adventures and available in multiple colors, just like the existing vehicles. #VRChat
