And as part of that, today we release our first support document to help everyone start developing: docs.google.com/presentation/d

Why continue to use expensive, closed-off, centralised systems that store and profit off your private data and created content. And look like THIS:

The platform allows for "Permissionless Innovation" from all users
✅The code is innovative and dynamic - and is being updated hourly
✅All users able to fork, host, and commercialise the platform for their own ends
✅Create and publish with your own marketplace!

Built as a response to closed-off or #paytoplay worlds, Webaverse follows a true decentralised ethos, is many years in development, and features the innovators behind SceneVR, AFrame, Cryptovoxels, Exokit, Threejs, Playcanvas, and JanusWeb: The greats of the early WebXR ecosystem

#Web3, #cryptocurrecy, and #blockchain access is native in Webaverse - users can mint and trade seamlessly (and for free!) without plugins or third party apps.
The world has all the features of a #MMORPG, without downloading an engine, subscriptions, or #DLC

Webaverse can be developed by non-programmers using "drag and drop" methods.
Programmers can use , text editors, and IDEs for advanced work.
Hosting is easily done on #webaverse servers, github, own services, locally, while enjoying all the security and privacy of Web3!

Webaverse is a fully Open Source Web3 Metaverse Platform.
✅All code is available on github: github.com/webaverse/app
✅By using only open file formats - nothing is walled off.
✅It can be developed using free software
✅Development and delivery is via a standard web browser

We have begun a resource for those starting out, and will be expanding it with tips and workflows pulled from the discord, as well as our own experiments.
Please everyone do comment with suggestions

The issue I've faced in VRStorytelling after all classes went online was no computer labs. Most students' laptops can't handle Unity. 's solves that. The Spoke editor alone will handle most of their needs.
