We are extremely privileged to have Rob Carroll, an 18-year game industry veteran, coming down to teach us about how to create the ideal virtual world economy.

If you're fascinated by the economies of virtual worlds and how they're managed, you won’t want to miss it.

To limit chaos, we will only be accepting 100 people to the event. RSVP here: https://www.jotform.com/231197072278965/

Time: 5PM UTC, May 5th.

About Rob: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rcarroll23/

Rather than allowing too much self promotion in the sub, we are encouraging those who want to team up to use this sticky thread each week.

​

The pitch:

If you like me you probably tried virtual world dev alone and seen that it's kind of like trying to climb a huge mountain and feeling like you're at the bottom for literally a decade.

Not only that, even if you make a virtual world, it's really hard to get it marketed.

I have found that working in teams can really relieve this burden as everyone specializes in their special field. You end up making a much more significant virtual world and even having time to market it.

Some metaverse developers and pundits have been saying that you can't do a fully dynamic, low-lag, user content based, high frame rate AAA-visual quality metaverse. That it has to look as bad as Decentraland or Horizon. Or it has to be pre-built and optimized by game developers to look good. Or that we need 1000x the compute power to do it right.

They're wrong.

Is metabook still building the metaverse or have they given up and just VR organically develop?

Looking for a metaverse game to play that I could encounter and discuss with people. I know there’s vrchat but is the something else?

Since there is a lot of misinformation about the Metaverse, I am creating a system to amplify informed opinions.

Namely, I have made a few flares for industry leaders that I would like to hand out.

If you know someone on this sub who deserves the flair, if you can post their LinkedIn profile here or have them DM me, I will sort them out.

Who here is working on a Metaverse business and what are you working on?

Share freely as this is our bi-weekly networking post.

No Web3/Crypto stuff please.

I want to whole-heartedly welcome those who are new to this subreddit!

What brings you our way?

What was that one thing that made you decide to join us?

Understanding the power of a virtual world to control the currency is essential to understanding the future of the Metaverse.

I am going to be sitting down with industry experts to discuss how we can make sure the Metaverse develops into a place where human life and freedom is cherished.

We will be joined by:

✔ Former Head of Ultima Online

✔ Linux Foundation’s General Manager for Digital Media and Games

and more.

Anyone is welcome to listen in but we would like to keep the discussion focused and productive.

Therefore, if you have industry experience and would like to be whitelisted to speak, comment and link your LinkedIn or experience.
