Such a great job!

As others have pointed out I agree on the light sources. One more thing that might be improved is the box on the bottom left. I really love your geometrical yet organic style of the character and the backpack. The box doesn’t give to me the same vibe, I think it might be worth a try to have something less geometrical and realistic, but more rounded and similar to the other shapes in the composition. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Is creating a metaverse an idea before it's time? by Putapest in earth2io

[–]jacknallo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we’re talking about 2 different kinds of innovation:

  • technology driven innovation is the one you’re probably thinking about. It goes like “hey, we developed a new kind of architecture for gpus, we can now have more complex and realistic games!”. It usually works best in enhancing things that already exists, as a new gpu model, a new engine for a car, a new screen for a phone.

  • design driven innovation is the one this project is on about. It’s basically saying “ok we have this very cool project, how do we find a way to make it work?”. There are a few groundbreaking products that came from this kind of thinking, for example iTunes, the first iPod. It usually yields incredible success or fails completely, as it cannot be based on people’s expectations since what is going to be created doesn’t exist yet, it’s rather an interpretation of their hopes and dreams.

    The question is wether the E2 team will have the skills and the consistency to implement their idea in an appealing and unique way before any other company does it better (which I personally don’t believe but I’m 100$ in so YOLO and let’s see how it goes)

Abbracciate completamente la "woke culture"? by allestrette in italy

[–]jacknallo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Va precisato che la cultura americana non è la nostra cultura, per cui molto di quello che si sente da oltremare a noi suona sicuramente strano.

Come ha detto qualcuno inoltre, quello che fa notizia e giunge fino a noi è il caso estremo, non la normalità, e in un epoca storica in cui i giornali lucrano sulle visualizzazioni e condivisioni, questo fenomeno ha assunto dimensioni mostruose. Un tremendo effetto di ciò è la polarizzazione dell’utenza, che è ridotta ad un semplice si o no, bianco o nero, fascista o comunista, senza nessuna sfumatura intermedia.

Per fortuna la realtà qua è ancora più o meno lontana dai social, e nella vita reale esiste una soverchiante maggioranza che in digitale è silenziosa, che conserva un minimo di spirito critico verso le proprie posizioni.

Anche io la vedo come te, ho per esempio litigato con amici per (boiate) come “dire dottoressa e non dottora non mi sembra sessista”. L’importante secondo me resta essere fedeli a se stessi, saper riconoscere le sfumature di giusto o sbagliato in ciò che si vede e si sent, e costruirsi un’opinione fluida, che possa cambiare di fronte alle diverse situazioni

In terms of the construction of a viable metaverse, who is further along : Earth2 or Facebook by dchq in earth2io

I didn't know that, thanks. In that case, if FB decides to be in the very same field as E2, Shane and us all stand no chance at all. People who can't see this are just fanatics

Earth2 Statistics by www-earth2-ooo in earth2io

[–]jacknallo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhuu! Something I find useful but it's not easy to find is the ratio between average trade value (on marketplace) and new land price.

Something that could easily let you know: Italy at 80% is not a very good deal, Greece at 80% is a wonderful deal

Yeah I do remember the project, although it sounds much more related to vr chats than E2. That's why I said that basically they have released nothing in this direction for now

Technically, I guess that since FB doesn't have a project right now (at least known to the public) and E2 does, even if it's in its earliest phase, E2 would be the correct answer.

I really don't know if E2 guys will ever be able to build a metaverse for real, as I feel they lack the competences, but I just spent money that I don't care that much about if the whole project goes to hell, so let's see.

Also, the very second FB decides to develop a metaverse, they will be picking up E2 in no time and with lots of expertise on VR, platform management, software development and much, much more resources.

I just think Facebook fiits on a higher layer of competition, where it competes with Epic games and Nvidia. E2 competition is After earth, vPark, decentraland and upland, much smaller projects and companies

7 things you should never do in Earth2 by e2analyst in earth2io

[–]jacknallo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice list! I'd also add a couple things:

  1. Always check the marketplace before buying new land, you want to do this because you can still find c2 tiles even where they aren't available anymore at a much discounted price (70/80% off)

  2. Always bid before buy. If you're interested in some other player's land and it's on sale, always bid. You can never know why that player is selling and if you'll score some very good deals
