NEW WORLD - Giantess Island with Roller Coaster
🕑 Added 2019-09-11 13:46:43 +0000 UTCWelp, it's finally up! I thank you all for your patience ;) This one took quite a while, lol. And you'll see why once you're on... Giantess Island. (portal hub link below)
This one is a whopper. A whole island to explore! Full of girls of every size!
When you spawn, you'll see some spherical buttons in front of you. The big one will turn on the Roller Coaster. Yep, a roller coaster :D Next to these buttons is an avatar pedestal so you can change into an invisible avatar I made. This is useful for the coaster (or any rides really on VRChat) that cause your vision to disconnect from your body, making your avatar jitter all over the place. Having an invisible avatar will make any rides a more pleasant experience without that flopping avatar getting in your line of sight :) The roller coaster is loooooonnng, so sit down, relax, and enjoy the ride.
On the coaster's chair, on either side of you are 2 more spherical buttons. The one on your left will start and pause the coaster, so if at any point if you feel like getting off and exploring, just click this and get off. You can get right again back on where you left off once you're ready to resume the ride. The button on your right will toggle the coaster rails on/off, in case you want them to be invisible, say if you're taking pictures.
There's also jetpacks scattered around the island, and 3 hidden magic white cubes, that toggle on extra-mega animations. And a couple other random easter eggs. Have fun finding them, hehe.
Thank you all again for your support and encouragement! I'd love to hear what you guys think of this one :D
(world can be found in the portal hub. Please see post with the most recent month's portal hub link)

I feel like a dummy cuz it keeps happening, but I really messed this world up while rendering VR animations from it. I kept changing settings on the grass and tree visibility distance, various other terrain and animation settings on figures, and in the process it kinda became... really slow during play. I tried fixing things and uploading tests on vrc, but can't get it above 15 fps. So updating it is sadly a lost cause at this point. Lost a lot of hours trying to get back to a playable state in unity, with no luck. I should've added teleports from the start. My bad. One of these days I'll stop ruining my own worlds, haha xD Thanks for being such a longtime encourager, man!

Hello VirtualGTS. I enjoyed this world. It was creative and original. Thank you for the hard work making it. Would you consider, if its possible, adding teleports to different key areas around the island? As always, thank you for sharing your work and passion.

roller coaster just launches me into a wall....

Hmm, that is strange. There should be the about:blank page, but a pop-up should come up too. Oh well. Here's how to bypass it: In your Steam library, right click on VRChat, and hit Properties. Click on "Set Launch Options" and then in the box, paste the link: vrchat://launch?id=wrld_34734f80-8746-4ca6-a3f3-69513c415887 Then, whenever you open VRChat, it will automatically open into the Vgts Portal hub. Just delete that from the launch options when you want to just load in to the regular vrchat home again.

No it just opens another tab that says about:blank on the address bar. There's nothing to click on. Tried turning off adblock and it still isn't working.
VirtualGTS
When you click the link, it should open a blank page with a pop-up that says "Open Launch?" - are you seeing that? You have to click on Open Launch after clicking the link.

So I have VR chat open but when I click the link it just opens a blank tab and doesnt take me back to the VR chat window. What am I doing wrong?

THANK YOU for letting me know that! - I had no idea that there were ever button-distance issues with Chairs in Desktop mode. I just went in and fixed it, tested, and re-uploaded the world. You're now able to reach the buttons in desktop. Also, I wasn't aware that your turning range in desktop on chairs was limited to 180 degrees. That kinda sucks. So I added another chair facing the rear. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a way to toggle between chairs, so you need to pause it and switch chairs if you want to turn around. Just make sure you don't do it at an elevation bc you need to click the pause button then get off the chair to switch to the other one. Thanks again for letting me know - this is why patron feedback is so crucial - it really makes worlds of difference, as I'm just one guy figuring this all out as I go along ;)

Can't ride the coaster since I don't have VR - the buttons aren't far enough forward to click on, I remember this being a problem in another one of the worlds as well- if you don't have a VR headset, you can't do that interaction. Much bigger problem in this world since the world is built around it.

giddyup :P
