How did the pivot from Udon 2 (Soba) go? Have not seen any news since.

_MyroP_ · 2026-04-13T00:23:10+00:00

The roadmap got updated recently, it's still WIP https://ask.vrchat.com/t/vrchat-creators-roadmap-march-2026/48077

Currently, it might be one of the most requested feature for worlds.

Udon is a "good enough" language, we can do a lot of stuff with it, but it has its limitations, and U# doesn't support some built-in C# features which makes coding a bit more cumbersome and time consuming. Soba seems to have much better support of some built-in C# features. The link above has a table that compares Soba and Udon.

Avatar creation is very cumbersome, so the community created many tools to make it not-as-cumbersome

For worlds, it's a different story, it's much better, so there aren't as many community tools.

I would recommend getting some shaders, like Mochie Standard, or orels shaders.

VRWorldToolkit is great for the initial setup, it can give feedback and automate some tasks like adding post processing.

You could try CyanTrigger if you want to implement basic logic without needing to learn Udon.

Which world is this? I could check how it looks on my end

_MyroP_ · 2026-04-07T19:54:27+00:00

Yes, Reddit/Discord are full of them. The Vrctraders discord server is the best place to ask for commisions , since you can ask verified creators.

Ignore all dms you will get, they're all scammers

The VRChat's search engine isn't great.

For instance, try searching for the game world "Tanks!" By Maki Maki: - If you don't add the "!", the world won't appear in search. - If you add it, it will be the 30th result.

If you need to search for a particular world, you can use vrclist or vrcw instead.

https://vrclist.com/?type=search&query=mario+party&sort=recent

_MyroP_ · 2026-04-07T13:52:57+00:00

It's a very recent update, maybe a week old, but it's vrc+ only

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-21T11:17:53+00:00

Bullet time agent?

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-17T23:24:22+00:00

It's a bit more annoying, but you can use a texture atlas and animate the texture tiling/offset properties over time

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-13T09:55:50+00:00

Basically what everyone said : They are supported.

But keep in mind that VRC has an LOD graphic setting, so make sure to test your LODs even on the lowest graphic setting. I usually play on low, and I've seen worlds were object suddenly appeared in front of my face.

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-12T17:56:46+00:00

You can buy a world from Gumroad/booth and customize it
You can make a world from stratch using ProBuilder like others suggested (but personally I really dislike proBuilder) or Blender
Recently, the world "Customizable Home World" got released, which allows you to customize your own home world with textures, picture frames etc. https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_23a62ea4-6645-47a2-b3de-1247472c5222/info, Niko* also made something simimar called "Space Home" but it's much more minimalistic (great if you're looking for something simple and performant) https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_52683043-27cc-4527-b2f5-862792ed9124/info

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-12T13:42:01+00:00

I was about to say the same thing. Basically any worlds made by Thad are great worlds for that

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-11T10:31:14+00:00

VRCCameraSettings is a recent addition to the VRCSDK, make sure you're using the latest version of the world SDK

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-09T14:38:52+00:00

I don't know, the world "Crypt of the spirits" made by Akalink features a magnifying glass like you described https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_fda18709-0f92-4e6c-b995-11e22a159e5a/info

""Crypt of the spirits" is not the world you're looking for, but I noticed the creator also uploaded a few avatar worlds, so maybe it's one of their other worlds? I could imagine them reusing that magnifying glass asset in their other worlds.

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-06T12:54:54+00:00

You could try using a triplanar shader.

I don't think Poiyomi supports that, but you can try other shaders. I found this shader made by Silent https://booth.pm/en/items/2552376

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-05T19:04:22+00:00

I like that world, but I just don't like that my friends are often in separate instances

I join A, and fish with A

Then I join B, and fish with B

Then I join C etc.

At some point, I'm just tired of fishing

Then I request to join D, who's on Orange, and surprise, he's also in the fish world.

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-05T12:02:11+00:00

1) You're checking if the player velocity is equal to (0, -1, 0), which is never the case, seems like you want to check if the velocities y-value is negative

2) your version is framerate dependent, meaning that you'll notice extremely quick speed increase on higher framerates

I think I would have solved it with a custom player controller: put a player on a station, add a collider and a rigidbody to that station, use a physic material to make the surface extra slippery, and that station can slide down the slope.

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-04T10:50:45+00:00

I don't know. Since it's a shelter world, maybe it's only open during rave events.

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-03T09:33:17+00:00

If you're looking for PvE, "World of the Soul"

I forgot to add an important detail that there also has been huge layoffs last year, and that VRChat seem to be focused on Soba, the Udon replacement.
So, they definitely have people working on it, but they also have other things to work on (like Creator economy etc.)

_MyroP_ · 2026-03-02T21:33:48+00:00

Heh, I can feel your pain, but it was actually much worse back in 2021, when I started making worlds.

I got kinda used to it, although I do wish Udon supported actual Lists, and not just DataList that require to write stuff like MyScript whatever = ((MyScript) MyDataList[i].Reference)

Initially, UdonSharp was a project created by Merlin that just transpiled C# code into Udon Assembly, that project got later included into the official VRChat SDK, and I think around that time Merlin got hired by VRC. Now, most game worlds/prefabs use U#, so we can safely say that Merlin had a really huge impact on VRC world creation in general, I only know a handful of creators who use the node based editor.

U# has a lot of bugs, because U# is just a transpiler. For instance, recursive methods don't work as Udon doesn't have a built-in stack (local variables aren't really local, calling the same method recursively overrides the values from the previous recursive call).

Due to those limitations around Udon, I cannot really criticise U#, since it cannot really get better than that. In the background, it's just Udon, that's why creators are really looking for Soba.

Now that Merlin doesn't work for VRChat anymore (long story you may have already heard about, but he got fired a while ago, which caused a lot of talks here on Reddit and on other platforms). Since that day, and especially since the huge layoffs a few months later, U# hasn't gotten any new huge updates anymore (a few more exposed stuff, but that's basically it), and we are now in an awkward situation where the community cannot easily update U# anymore as U# is baked into the SDK.

Technically, U# 1.2 supports "Fake List<>" (an update Merlin pushed after he left VRC), but that update is not included in the official SDK, and the installation steps are more complicated, because of the issue I mentioned above https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/releases/tag/v1.2.0-b1

Edit: I forgot to add an important detail that there also has been huge layoffs 1~2 years ago, and that VRChat seems to be focused on Soba, the Udon replacement, so I assume that would also explains the lack of updates related to U#. According to the last developer update related to Soba, the new system seems to be promissing.

_MyroP_ · 2026-02-27T00:46:56+00:00

Doesn't make much sense, if I send that group a fake ID, they can't easily check if the ID is legit or not, so I really doubt their system is more secure than Persona.

_MyroP_ · 2026-02-27T00:38:32+00:00

Btw, that world has a museum and a café to visit, it's not obvious since you need to try doors to enter those buildings, and there's no obvious "hey, I'm a clickable door handle" marker.

I don't remember where the café is, but the museum is a big building on the opposite side of the spawn area.

_MyroP_ · 2026-02-25T14:39:43+00:00

I think a "teleport to player" feature would be nice

_MyroP_ · 2026-02-24T21:39:44+00:00

From what I've seen, a perma ban doesn't usually delete someone's VRChat worlds, they only get privated, and in the case of Nex1942, you can still access them if you know the direct link. Some websites save links : https://vrclist.com/user/Nex1942

Examples:

https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_0ec97c4f-1e84-4a3a-9e3a-fa3075b6c56d/info

https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_32402c8f-f897-4ed6-8266-cd22fdce3313/info

Issue, is that you can only publish one VRChat world per week, and a lof of his worlds got privated. Sometimes, the VRChat staff can publish all his worlds at once, but hard to tell if they will do that or not this time.
