A 3D anonymous imageboard

Hi Lainchan. I am working on a 3D anonymous imageboard, running in the web browser. The base concept is to use the 3d space and the video game logic as a layer of abstraction for the forum. But the long term idea, is far more ambitious (and crazy): using augmented reality to post files in the real word (It’s a very long term idea!). Some people on 8ch advised me to post on Lainchan, due to the proximity of the concept with the Phantoma videogame. Here is the chan: http://snuffchan.com/dungeon/ Opinion are welcome, and pardon my English, I am french. Also Lainchan looks neat. There’s lot of cool topics like IA or just philosophical one I looking forward to read and may be contribute.

>>17698 prob one of the coolest ideas i've seen, just try to keep the community alive for the long term idea. i hope this grows. I assume you will give each board their own space and/or make them bigger in the future?

Holy soykaf this is amazing. How did you build this?

>>17700 Thanks for you reply. Not sure than keeping alive a community will be my strength, but I will try, one of my being problem is than I am passionate about very small niche stuff like horror movies and gagged girls (Yeah it’s sound silly). If anyone has advice on the topic, that would be great. An idea would be to allow people to publish their own board using webtorrent (a peer to peer javascript library running in the browser), so the people would bring their communities. But this method would add a layer of complexity on the project and it would be a mess to maintain (and it’s already a mess). But maybe NPC and enigma I am planning to add will bring the community together... Concerning the size, the last version had bigger space, but I made a roll back due to performances issues. Don’t forget than you’re playing 3D in a web browser and the current version, even if it’s looks small, has more than 200, maybe 300 images-slots.

I don't remember what it's called but the camera movement effect that makes the camera keep moving after I stop my cursor, I don't like it. I want the movement to stop when I stop my mouse. It makes it hard to look around. Same with movement I don't like sliding around like the ground is ice. Also how about making a room for each thread?

>>17701 I used BabylonJS, an incredible javascript library and it was not so hard to code. I started the first prototype with Unity 3D (picture related), but the webgl export was just hell, firing random error and blocking the whole game for no reason, and result wasn’t working on Ubuntu or mobile. I will maybe go back to Unity 3D if want to make a virtual reality or augmented reality version to earn money on it.

Interesting concept but its pretty buggy and some of the boards are distasteful and only catering to the creator's fetishes. Kinda strange there is a no porn rule but there is a hentai board...

> no "hatespeech" > no pirated content > no porn Wow so it's just another worthless webpage that no one will use. Why don't you promote it on facebook? the audience there will be more than happy to roleplay with you as a hacker for 5 minutes till they get bored.

>>17710 No choice these days. Don't follow those rules? Lose your cloud loicense.

it's completely unusable with JS disabled

>>17711 >No choice these days. Hardly. Read the terms of service and compare alternatives.

>>17713 I notice you didn't suggest cloud platforms where it's possible to host those three things. AWS being the only option that maters. Can't even buy a Confederate flag on Amazon. History is "le hate speech" now. Just saying there's no need to get triggered over the fact when it's not OP's fault.

>>17698 Please get a ssl cert and it seems chan is down?

I doubt any of my soykafty old PCs can run it, but this is a really cool idea.

>>17710 I mean there's clearly porn boards in there, and it's not like they have the rights to any pics people post. And the first thing I saw was something about jewish people. So probably just little bit of CYA text, don't get all butthurt about it dude sheesh

At first, thanks to all for you feedback. >>17707 >>17710 About censorship, hate speech and porn It’s a complex question. Better than a long answer I will publish the last cover of Charlie Hebdo. Just to say than there are some blurred line between PORN and adult content in my country. Hentai have some artistic qualities, I personally consider them as a piece of art and not as porn. Another example: guro Hentai, porn or art? You can’t tell. For hate speech, my first version of the disclaimer was “Non-ironic hate-speech”. The muhamad caricature made by Charlie Hebdo can be considered as hate-speech. Another example: If I post some My Little Pony neo nazi board screen capture (that fuarrrking exist), you obviously know that’s a joke. But it can be considered hate speech. You have also a great example about how censorship can be incredibly subjective with gagged girls and bondage! Did you ever heard about Bettie Page and Irving Claw? They were running a soft bondage magazine send by mail in the 50’s. Their business was destroyed by the FBI, and for no reason clear, because most of the scenes they were despicting were already existing in books, or hollywood movies. State censorship IS something subjective. Now imagine corporate censorship. >>17713 I strongly thinking about making the whole thing Peer to peer to escape to the censorship, like I mentioned it in a previous post, using webtorrent. >>17724 By the way, I am sorry for stuff offensive stuff posted on the board I wasn’t awake at the time, I deleted them. I got a word filter in my code, I will add a few forbidden words to it. ------------------- Now from the technical point of view. >>17717 I have a lot of instabilities, that’s why the board wasn’t active a few hours ago. I am thinking about deleting the player chat + the ability to see other players. It brings very little to the game and it cost a lot in terms of maintenance. I suck at building community, and to be honest I don’t really know what to put in the kind of boards other than alpha and lulz. Tell me if you got ideas about it, I will suppress most of the old boards. The only one I was hyped about by was the horror board (I am a big horror movie lover), but someone posted some real gore picture and even if I deleted them I don’t want the board anymore. I think maybe what I am doing isn’t a community, but a tool. The whole thing use zero database, it’s just a bunch of JSON files + PHP. One of my numerous goals was to create a CMS where you just drag and drop it on your server and it’s work. And now with the peer to peer technology running in the browser, it’s opening the way to some crazy perspective to fight big cloud platform, no or very few file hosting from the server side. Imagine a mass adoption of this techno, and the Internet won’t be the same for the next decade. Maybe I should trash 75% of my dev and keep the rest to make a fully decentralized network. What is your view on this, Lainchan.

Cool idea, but the ban on copyrighted content and "hate speech" kills any interest I might have in it as a community.

It just looks like a Source game. You have avatars and sprays and a chat in the corner. Is there more to it than the screenshots show? Either way, it doesn't seem like an "imageboard". >One of my numerous goals was to create a CMS where you just drag and drop it on your server and it’s work. And now with the peer to peer technology running in the browser, it’s opening the way to some crazy perspective to fight big cloud platform, no or very few file hosting from the server side. Imagine a mass adoption of this techno, and the Internet won’t be the same for the next decade. Isn't this basically what IPFS is?

>>17698 sounds very interesting, however it has already been done and failed. Long before even Second life, in the very late 90s or early 2000s, there was something called chatcity or chatville or wtf it was called. which did just that, plus real time communication, as the name implied. In the end what the users care about is having concentrated information as quickly as possible. 2D text is idea for that.

Very cool project. I love the idea and I think it has potential as a browser game or a VR application. Here are some things that are on my mind right now: 1. The controls are a bit awkward. I'm pretty sure someone could find a more convenient way to interact with posts. 2. Add more sandbox game elements. something that allows users and board admins to build a little space according to their own aesthetics. 3. Maybe custom avatars. I'm not sure how that fits with the idea of an anonymous imageboard but traditional imageboards have flags and tripcodes, so. 4. Having all the images stored elsewhere is a bit cumbersome. I think it would be better if you could just upload them to your server or a decentralized/distributed data storage. 5. Add some secrets like hidden rooms/boards and other features that makes the player want to explore the world.

>3d >running in a web browser I think you should really stick with AR / unity rather than run it in a web browser. The WWW is so bloated and libraries / frameworks are changing every few years. AR stuff has URI's so you could just put a link to the AR space on the webpage and have your users tunnel through. I would recommend trying to make what you're doing compatible with VR chat or anything else that you can so it doesn't fall into disuse. Kudos to you for trying to make something, but continue planning your build so you do not burn out.

>>17727 In regards to porn (specifically the "gagged girls" board) I don't mind that it is porn. I mind that you, the author, put a board on there that is catering only to your specific and niche fetish. If you are trying to build a community it seems almost creepy as its obvious the board was made to find more porn for you.

Nice concept but not my cup of tea to be honest. I come to places like this for the text, not for the images or any kind of interactivity so it doesn't do anything for me Has more potential as a game or something maybe

>>17698 >google analytics

>>17698 I'm curious what your thinking is when you say in the description visitors shouldn't tell their friends about the site, but you link to lainchan on your twitter? Also at least for me the text portion of the posts aren't shown that well, just a small one line middle section of it then the rest is cut off. Can't really read any posts.

This is a really cool idea. But seems the site is down and im not sure if i trust modern browsers. Should lainchan make its own 3d imageboard? Im a gamedev, i could do the groundwork.

>>17754 OP here. The game is offline for moderation. I got around 800 posts last night, and being currently alone with a custom CMS make the task a bit complicated. I will temporarily allow only 20 post every 12h. it's the quantity of posts I'm able to moderate right now with my everyday life. If you want to make one for Lainchan, I would be happy to share my code with you. Please contact me on my Twitter. >>17737 Yes, I understand, it's a a micro niche, and his presence is irrelevant. To be fair it was just planned to display screencaps of movies, nothing more. There's tons of good remarks in your replies, I will try to answer to all of you this week.

>>17754 I don't think lainchan should make its own 3D imageboard, but if you want to make a WebGL 3D viewer that is compatible with the existing code base, then I would be happy to review and accept patches.

>>17759 Do it for the lulz.

OP here. Some news. The chan is up again. Due to my personal life and new laws planned for july in France that will definitely trash free speech it’s very probable than I will shutdown the board in the next few weeks. It’s not advertised on the international press, but they (the french gov) are trying to push a system where they will be able to jail people for 2 years of prison for caricature if there are suspicions of antisemitism (an israeli flag is enough), sexism or homophobia. We have clearly a huge problem of antisemitism in France, but it has absolutely zero correlation with free speech. More info for french speakers here: https://francais.rt.com/france/63094-reforme-loi-1881-menace-liberte-expression-selon-secretaire-generale-snj I also have a problem with the project size. Moderation + game developpement + server side is really over-helmeting. I will go back to a more simple imageboard project (no more 3D display) using peer to peer tech. It’ will be far more simple for me to develop as an open source software. I am also curious about what you would recommend me as a server side language. I will publish the source of the 3D board on a Github next month. The code is probably a bit messy, with tons of unused features, but it works, you just have to drag and drop it on a PHP server.

>>17806 That fuarrrking is like kicking dead whales down the beach.

>>17698 I really like how the sprite for other users is always looking at you when you move around. Gives it a creepy vibe that I really dig like some yumme nikki-esque soykaf. Keep it going man I really like this concept. Legit got spooked while I was walking around and then I turn and right behind me is one of the sprites staring at me. It'd be cool if you plan to dig more into that

>>17806 Aww fuarrrk man I just read that. Very unfortunate. Its easy to forget how other western countries can get fairly Orwellian about "hate speech". Over here its just a bunch of glitterboy larpers complaining about getting derezzed on twitter.

>>17710 Every single website in existence does need to be another platform for porn (or retarded "politics" for that matter).

>>17705 >camera +/r/ snapping to images, perhaps also allowing posts to be expanded into a 2D/zoomable/scrollable view. Hard to see the details in the small images loaded if on a normal/low resolution.

This project is actually pretty cool man. I'm sorry you have decided to stop, especially why you have decided to stop. Good vibes.

I am attempting this, but seem to be unable to submit a message or anything else. I also feel that arrow keys for perspective is superior to having to click and move the mouse

Hi, friends, thanks a lot for your support. For personal reasons, I am pausing my 3D Anonymous Imageboard project. It’s too much moderation and maintenance for a lone person and I will not be able to provide this amount of work during the following year. Lot of people were hyped by the project, so I published full the sources on Github: https://github.com/AlexKrunch/AnonIB-3D It’s a pause, I will comeback with a new project (I think, in 1 year), with a minimal server side part + and the files being torrented to escape censorship. >>17902 I disabled the file uploads + drawings for security reasons on the current online board. >>17877 Yeah it’s creepy. And exhausting when you’re the admin and than you see a dozen of anon sprites in the alpha entrance when you go to sleep the sunday evening. I will not continue the other player display feature because that’s a superficial one, cause lag on certain computers and it multiplies the code on the server side. But I am planning to add NPC. >>17878 Seriously, I don’t know what I am risking something, the main target being FB and twitter, but there’s a kind of tabula rasa of the right of press and computer science in France and globally in Europe, the goal being openly to pronounce true prison sentences for caricatures and tweets. It’s also complexify the way you launch a social platform in France because we got a lot of laws about computer science, about user data and copyrights. That’s why the next part of my project (next year) will be about torrenting content in the browser. >>17885 Like I’ve said here and on my TOS, I am for adult content, not ugly porn. I want the people to be able to share Electric Retard comics and stupid Alex Jones .GIF >>17899 I am mostly stopping the project because my work and my personal situation doesn't allow me to moderate the site properly. Also moderation is exhausting. With my imageboard being in english + the video game working as a layer of abstraction, I am not sure if I am really risking something. See you space cowboys.

isn't this just worlds.com

>>17914 My game is anonymous, it is the difference. My main inspiration was Fort Longcat, the very 4chan place of Second Life. Everyone was hardware derezzed after this.

>>17917 >Fort Longcat This is a very old school meme name.

Will you release the source?

>>17924 He did. >>17913

>>17925 I should have read the thread, thanks

>>17917 Holy crap. Fort Longcat. How on earth do you have any screenshots of this?

fuarrrk the European and French governements. OP, you've written some very cool software.

I want to be able to post 3D objects. that would give it some more life. Also can I see other users? seems empty

Hi people, OP here. >>7951 It’s on Encyclopedia dramatica. Found out about it 10 years ago. I think it was my main inspiration. https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Fort_Longcat >>17952 The law has been voted now. If I got time I will make a translation of it on my youtube. Thanks for the compliment. >>17953 It would be an idea. For other players you just see them they were here the last 60 minutes. Sometime there’s no body. ----------------- Even if I would not be very available in the coming year, but I will keep thinking to next step of the project. I will prepare a PDF or a powerpoint to seduce some investors or associates. I am also pleased to announce you than someone will host and maintain the current project, not on snuffchan, but on another site. Here is the mastodon of the person I am in contact with: https://accela.online/bane The source are still here: https://github.com/AlexKrunch/AnonIB-3D

>>17964 This is super fun, thanks OP.

Hi folk. OP here. I relaunched a working version, on https://3dchan.net I chatted a bit with Hotwheels on Twitter and he convinced me to change the name of the project. I am still rethinking the map/level mechanism for the project for the next iteration. Everyone should be able to create his own map, it’s a must have. I'm thinking about going back to the Unity game engine, rather than BabylonJS. I know I am a visual person and the time lost to just having an ok 3d render could have a long term impact on the project. Unity will definitely ease the production of polished visuals and won't prevent the drawing or file upload features. Of course, it won't run on all web browsers and, unlike the current version, it would be a mostly desktop game. That's a tough choice.

>>18405 A standalone will probably be harder for typical imageboard consumers to get into. Work with what feels right though. Cheers lad.

>>17710 lmfao what a waste of potential

>no ``non ironic hatespeech" oh boy you're gonna have fun enforcing that one

>>17806 >Look at my artful Charlie Hebdo >Russia Today >We have an antisemitism problem I didn't know Glucksmann was into dev'ing. Your concept is soykaf, by the way. The reason why old forums, imageboards and social media are popular is because their goal is to share information and they do it in the fastest, most exhaustive way possible. Your third-rate JanusVR can give some interesting screenshots for fourth-rate vaporwave artists but the overall tediousness of this project will kill it before it's even finished. The AR thingie is even more hilarious: you could just leave floppy disks on the ground for the same effect. Cringe and pretentiouspilled.

I think there should be a single long hallway. Instead of boards having there own rooms, it's threads that do,and threads are hallways that expands with each post and goes on until the post limit is reached.

Someone had to do it.

Let's get a re-upload to git, pls

All my posts become 404 cockroaches. Could be because of my huge battery of noscript/adblock tho.

>>18697 I re-published the sources. https://github.com/AlexKrunch/AnonIB-3D >>18698 >All my posts become 404 cockroaches. Could be because of my huge battery of noscript/adblock tho. The 404 display errors are most of the time due to Cross Domain Request errors. To make it short, because the picture and the 3Dchan view are not hosted under the same domain there's a security error.

>>17698 I like your idea and I hope you will finish your project soon. I do have some critique, though. 1. It was not immediately clear to me that I could look around by dragging the left mouse button. Instead, I was trying all all keyboard options to turn to the right of left. Only after a few minutes of trying, I found out that I had to drag the mouse while having the left mouse key button pressed. 2. I think that opposing "hatespeech" is not clear enough. Hate speech is an extremely subjective concept, since everyone has a different on opinion on what is hate speech and what is not. Some people even consider it hate speech if you don't want illegal immigrants to flood your country, while others think it's hate speech if you start wishing death upon someone. Replace "hate speech" with something that is more clear, for example: "Don't make death threats and don't death upon others!" 3. Perhaps this feature is still missing, but as of now, I don't know how to enter a room. If this feature is still missing, then it's fine. If it is possible to enter a room, then you should explain to the user how to do so.

>>18809 green walls can be entered by pointing your mouse at it and then clicking the button that appears at the bottom of the window

This is pretty cool. The last 3D board I know of is hamstakilla, but it's quite different. Imageboard devs and people who are able to foster communities tend to be mutually exclusive so I hope you focus on the technical aspect only. Oh and switch to piwik analytics!

>>17698 Do other anons move, or do you just load a snapshot of positions? (Maybe I block too much.)

Some news: 3Dchan will be locked in october, for personal reasons. I am trying to get my best friend on the project, but there will probably be nothing till 2020. I thinks next version will be about allowing each player to build and share his own personal space. I also need to move from my custom PHP server side to Drupal. >>18467 These are valid arguments, but I think than the 3D space and video game provide a layer that can improve the imageboard (I insist on the term, I am more about Danbooru than 4chan) experience. Also, I feel than the pictures are enhanced by the 3D space. >>18809 1. Yes, I should implement keyboard options to turn. The problem is than the base controls are provided by the BabylonJS framework (powerful and very cool framework by the way), but overriding control is a bit complicated. Having a familly life + a full time job it's hard to find time for the project, and most of this time goes to content moderation + server side issues. So it will be for a next, 2020, version. 2. I am 100% ok with you, unfortunately I not on US soil, and I cannot afford to put money in some potential trial. My current solution is only about exposing the source code for people wanting to create a more permissive space. 3. It’s need a tutorial. But I will make the same reply than for the first point. >>18840 >hamstakilla Didn’t know it. Thanks Anon! >Imageboard devs and people who are able to foster communities tend to be mutually exclusive so I hope you focus on the technical aspect only. Oh and switch to piwik analytics! I agree with this, about community, minus the fact than in my view, the developer of the site need to propose something different, some features that will imply some users empowerment. And I need to implement Piwik. >>18876 For technical reasons it’s just a snapshot.

>>17698 can we shoot each other?

>>17703 >gagged girls (Yeah it’s sound silly). If anyone has advice on the topic, that would be great. 3M tape is plenty strong when 3 or more wraps are applied and won't come unstuck when bloodied.

>>18405 Unity is a large and successful company. As time goes on, their engine will likely better support the browser or streaming use case. You can always write interfaces (clients) to the server in other ways later.

>>17698 Saw this the other day, really creative idea you got going here. Bigger problems that I saw were, mouse sensitivity is pretty high, text doesn't usually fit on the walls, reply lines are hard to follow, and no tech board last one is more of preference though.

The development of the current 3DChan version is paused. The next few months will be complicated. Even after this, when I will eventually go back into development, 3DChan new version will be more likely to be a sequel with no or very few code in common with the previous version. It will be a software running ElectronJS with probably a light browser version. Every player will be able to create and post on their own maps, create their NPC with their own sprite sheets and share them in torrent on the 3DChan’s boards. This is my vision for the future. It will ease performance and creativity for my users and simplify the server part for me. You can follow me on Twitter for more update @alexkrunch >>19173 No but that would be cool. >>19363 Don't launch me on this anon, please ^^ >>19366 >Unity is a large and successful company. As time goes on, their engine will likely better support the browser or streaming use case. >You can always write interfaces (clients) to the server in other ways later. It's hard to have rich browser interaction with Unity, mainly due to the Unity player behaving like a black box, and I am not sure it will change. I talked about it to the creator of the very similar project 3dforreddit.com and he come to the exact same conclusion eventualy using BabylonJS like me. The only point to use Unity is about graphic quality + FOV that takes too much CPU in BabylonJS. >>19367 Yeah, reply line are pretty are pretty hard to use... Talking of boards, I am sorry Anon, I cannot create a board each time few people ask me for. Most of the time they use it during 2/3 days and doesn't post anymore after. My goal is to have an minimum amount of boards that interest most of people. Also don't forget the source of the project are available to everyone, so if you want to make your board...

>>17698 >imageboard, running in the web browser. The base concept is to use the 3d space and the video game logic as a layer of abstraction for the forum someone made something like this a long time ago, for 4chan

>>19598 I would screw around with this a lot if you made giant mazes and secret places where people could post markers and stuff. Looks fun.

>>21054 Oh soykaf I found out how to move better

>>17731 Unichat was pretty comfy back in its heyday.

Hi there. I am currently working on an offline software version of 3DChan , where people will be able to make their own map. If concentrate only on the front code, I will (probably) have more time to work on graphism and game design. The software will be shipped with a system to share files & map with your friends. Planned for late 2020. Screen captures are the current state of the new editor. I don't want anymore blocks and right angles. >>21054 An huge maze sound incredibly cool, but the reality is that it will be incredibly empty. And most of posts will be located near the start point. I need more in game contents for this. Also I more thinking about an open map for this, like RDR or Death Stranding.

>>21863 A real 3d chan should be something like this, except that everybody should have the same sprite (or maybe just random sprites which you wouldn't chose, though that would be basically tripfagging) and with the addition of being able to show temporary images above you, similar to our reaction pics, or displaying them on the map like objects for others to see for a longer period of time, all that in addition to regular text for chatting of course. Also, it would be cool if there was a hub through which you could access all boards, like the warp room in Crash but bigger, would be like the /random/ of the site. It would be like a fuarrrking online agora.

>>22281 Or maybe this, every board would be one of those warp rooms, and every portal of that room would lead you to a thread, a thread is a room, when nobody is on the room anymore the thread/room would be deleted, this way the warp room would be dynamically changing. Also, every board should have his own unique sprite for all his users, for example a board where all his users are shown as pepes or lains. Some details I think would be cool: *you can specify the topic of your thread and even the type of room (a bar, a park, a living room, a museum, etc.), but OP has no control of what users do in his thread, only moderators can kick off people from rooms. *When you are in a thread, you can go back to the central hub/portal room whenever you want. What do you think anons?

My view on >>22282 1) Main hub with each room link to it being a thread is what a 3D imageboard should be. Also each OP should be able to manage the architecture of the room. The big problem is how preview the posts and images changes from the thread in the main hub. 2) On the whole chat idea, the idea is nice but it would exaggeratedly limits conversation between players, because you have already a space abstraction layer (you need to be at a certain place to read a message), and you would add a time abstraction layer (you need to be at a certain and limited time to read a message)

>>22281 lmao I'd definitely love that environment but it does seem a little grandiose. But either way. I think it should be a network of grungy alleyways or some other abandoned urban setting

>>18467 It's because of this mindset that people are scared of doing anything vaguely creative and we're knee deep into creative bankruptcy. People today spend more time trying to deconstruct or criticize what they see than actually enjoying it for what it is - unless it's advertised to them nicely, then oh they sure do love the novelty.

>>17698 Aw, the /horror/ board was closed? I wanted to post something spooky.

>>18405 Why not use idtech1?

>>17698 sadly this lags really bad on my browser

OP here. >>22964 It's an excellent question. I went for the BabylonJS because the web browser offer lot of feature (like playing GIF, lot of type of video, youtube, etc.) >>22918 I trashed the /horror/, I build it only for horror movies and the board was just flooded with gore pictures. Sorry. May be guro would have been a better board name. >>22294 Same feeling here, but building a real environment ask time and can't even find some to just create a texture for doors. I should create a single player version before creating a multiplayer version. Like any game. Thanks for your interest.

Aw, I posted something in /draw/ but it was removed. Did I violate a guideline?

>>23312 I only delete stuff in case of N word / nazi or antisemitic stuff and spamming, so probably not. I know there is a bug, than some freshly posted images doesn't appear in the room when they are displayed in my admin.

>>23164 You're doing some cool work OP. For sure, switch to Unity if you want to be able to convert it to a VR version. Running these types of applications on a website with JS isn't since many people disable JS off the bat. If you still want to keep the site, maybe make a lighter build for the site and keep full functionality for the Unity version. Also, are you using any sort of database? On a side note, your project is giving me a worlds.com vibe to it. Surprisingly, worlds is still running at the time of this post.

Thanks for your support and happy new year! To celebrate I've posted a torrent file with all the main boards's uploads. Be warned, it contains hentai and other retarded stuff. http://3dchan.net/blog/2020-on-3dchan/ I am back on the project V2 coding. This version will focus on map edition and NPC creation. I trashed the non-perpendicular architecture idea for a more simple block/tile architecture. The first one would have been far too complicated for users and would have made the whole coding much harder. Here is the project's Github, so you will be able to follow the progress of the project. https://github.com/AlexKrunch/gamechan

Great project dude, I love the concept. What browsers have you tested this on? From firefox I don't seem able to turn around at all - not sure how the posting is supposed to work either.

>>23884 turning worked for me on firefox, just click and drag

>>23885 Cheers anon

>>17727 How can the Charlie Hebdo Mohammed caricature be considered hate speech? Criticism of religion from a satirical lens (or any lens, arguably) is not hate speech. If they said something like "I hate sandniggers" and did so without a shred of irony it might be hate speech, but the problem with punishing or even categorizing hate speech is that the laws required to do this are often overly broad and lead to innocent people with senses of humor and/or autism getting their lives ruined. All it takes is for someone to get offended - and people are becoming increasingly less resilient so the threshold for what is considered offensive drops with every passing day. Eventually, you won't be able to say anything interesting at all - and in many cases this has already happened. Any community (or website, software company, etc) that considers itself civilized should not have these "hate speech" rules, because they are antithetical to the concept of freedom in a just society. An imageboard should not have these rules because it is against chan culture, and quite frankly such an idea is retarded. Which is unfortunate, because the concept of a 3d imageboard is intriguing.

>>24234 >How can the Charlie Hebdo Mohammed caricature be considered hate speech? Because it fosters hate, duh?! See, after those caricatures were published, a bunch of hateful people barged in and slaughtered a bunch of cartoonists. If those caricatures didn't get published, none of this would have happened.

Surely you are joking. How are non-violent cartoonists responsible for a bunch of religious zealots choosing to shoot up a publishing house? Responsibilty lies with those who committed the acts of violent aggression, not with some peaceful artists with a penchant for soykaf-disturbing.

>>24238 If you meant to quote >>24237, it was 100% sarcastic

>>24238 The cartoonists who were slaughtered were the ones at Charlie Hebdo who made the insulting strips against Mohammed. The worst thing was the reaction of people who commented on the event. Nobody wanted to fully absolve the cartoonists for their joke. This included public figures around the world who at best, said "It's awful that is happened, but they deserved it". All speakers argued, first and foremost, that the caricatures were wrong and hateful and all the murderers were guilty of avenging themselves with excessive force. The legitimacy of satire was never defended. What happened with CH was a stress test for free speech, which is literally what satire is designed for. >Ladies and gentlemen, the title I’ve selected for this little chat is “contra jogulatores obloquentes”, which you all recognize as Latin, mediaeval Latin to be precise. It’s the title of a law issued in Sicily in 1221 by Emperor Frederick II of Swabia, an emperor “anointed by God”, who we were taught in school to regard a sovereign of extraordinary enlightenment, a liberal. “Jogulatores obloquentes” means “jesters who defame and insult”. The law in question allowed any and all citizens to insult jesters, to beat them and even – if they were in that mood – to kill them, without running any risk of being brought to trial and condemned.

what i don't get about chan development is why make yet another copy? why not just PR the features you think are good onto existing board software?

I have found the promised Land No censorship Porn, speech, it is all free Only remove that which is illegal

>>24311 Is it really "free" if there's such a thing as "illegal"?

lmao I made the mistake of clicking this on my core 2 duo laptop. Locked up the whole system and I had to reboot. good meme

>>24237 Could literally all critique or comedy. Hate Speech only exists as a concept to justify censorship. It doesn't hold under any scrutiny

>>17710 >no porn >worthless Yea because there's literally no other website on the planet that hosts porn. JFC you're a desperate idiot.

>>17698 So the endgame is basically vrchat? For now I suppose you're trying to make a social network based on the autistic members of lainchan? If so, im in

>>21863 FUUUCK IT LOOKS SO COMFY FUUUUCK WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS TILL NOW FUUUCK I wish hotel habbo could be the same but now it's filled only with coin hungry users with corporate thinking in mind.

>>17698 Sites been v& bro Looks like you need to find a new hosting provider

>>24425 >>JFC Use your words. People like imageboards mainly because of their element of freedom of expression that they carried over from the early Internet days. His soykaf is pointless with secondlife and secondlife was pointless with worlds.com to begin with. Hate speech isn't even real. That's the thing that lets someone know if they're walking into "1984" "Demolition Man" territory, of which imageboards from their conception have never been that sort of thing. When they get too much traffic THEN they become that, due to advertisers demanding a faux smile from everyone to increase profits. The OP is corrupt at the start.

Hi friends, The site didn’t get v& , I just stopped paying the snuffchan.com hosting service, that was an old imageboard project. My current project is hosted under 3dchan.net . If someone is interested by the snuffchan’s domain name, I own it till the 30th of March 2020. I’ve made some technical tests with another dev for “decentralizing” a big part of the game. Believe me or not, I want to keep censorship under the bare minimum, unfortunately, I live and host my server in Europe and I am not protected under any kind of first amendment. To those that think that 3Dchan rules are only here to attract advertisers, they are wrong : advertisement and affiliation on Internet are a terrible revenue source, even for a mainstream/ family friendly web site. Having investors on the board is also a terrible idea, because it will limit a lot of my libertarian goals, which are sinceres. Making a premium desktop version, paying interaction with NPC or even a Patreon are far more coherent ways to monetise 3Dchan.net in the future. I’ve made progress in 3Dchan V2 (pic related), but I think I will have to make a backlog and to lower my goals if I want to ship something for 2020. I am also asking myself if I should not focus on a desktop exclusive game for the next version. Thanks for your interest.

>>25138 If you really cared about privacy and libertarian stuff, you'd host the stuff on i2p and Tor right from the start.

>>25142 >If you really cared about privacy and libertarian stuff, you'd host the stuff on i2p and Tor right from the start. I've thinking about it, but: -HTML5 canvas are not recommended over TOR, because they can leak your IP. And with real time player communication using websocket, I am pretty sure IP can be exposed. (https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/4285/can-html5-canvas-image-data-reveal-the-users-ip) -Even 8chan didn't authorize their users to post over TOR, because we all know what will be posted. -TOR host tons of virus, scams and terrible stuffs. I want 3Dchan users to be safe. -Most of libertarian stuff can be done on the Clear Net, like 3D gun printing's Ctrl PEW having an internet web site and an instagram account. Also drug dealers have now their own Snapchat and Instagram account. It doesn't mean they won't be shut down in the future, but right now, these stuff exist on the western clear net. Also don't forget than I censor very few stuff (90% of the post I censor are just nazi flags with nothing funny added to it) and than my disclaimer is mostly here for a legal purpose.

Made an update on the current version (NPC + new post disappearing wont disappear any more + door have now a texture). I will try to progress on the next version. https://3dchan.net

>>25144 This project looked cool but >Also don't forget than I censor very few stuff >90% of the post I censor are just nazi flags with nothing funny added to it >censoring a symbol without any context >speech has to be ironic to be free what a waste of dubs

>>26048 IIRC Alex Krunch is a citizen of France and therefore subject to anti-nazi propaganda laws. I don't know the exact details of their laws but we have something similar in germany where it doesn't help to move your server overseas; you'll be still obliged to delete any pro-nazi/non-ironic nazi symbolism. I agree that it's a severe restriction of freedom of speech but sadly there's not much you can do about it other than risking going to prison.

>>26044 >google analytics seriously? can people stop making sites with this soykaf. looked great until this stuff >>26048 >90% of the post I censor are just nazi flags with nothing funny added to it why do we need to censor? just only allow it in one board. you start "censoring" one thing, then people post something else you dislike, then you start censoring that, then people start complaining about another thing and you censor that, then it's no different than the other thousands of unfederated social networks outthere.

Screen captures of the V2. It will be a crossover between Minecraft and a File System. I am still thinking about the minimal features/gameplay. Maybe making it a zombie game like DayZ.

>>17698 >3dchan >ACA wage slave group AVOID. They post CP to get users to join their spam group: imageboard.net

>>26419 It's a total fabrication. Yes, someone who was in the ACA, has encouraged people to post dumb soykaf on other boards to gain traffics, but in any circumstance it was CP, just retarded stuff like "Emma Watson has said the N word". It lasted few days and the person who encouraged that isn't in the ACA anymore. Also ACA doesn't accept CP.

So I've been playing around in 3dchan and I got a few reservations about accessibility and flow of information. Pictures on the wall are just posts - not topic starters. Replying to posts is done by clicking the reply button, finding a blank wall, and hitting either the reply or draw button on the bottom center. You look at a post and a little line shoots out to the post it's replying to. That bottom center also lets you interact with doors. But what if you want a legitimate discussion with a sense of continuity? Even a small thread with 10 or 20 replies could take 10 or 20 minutes to read as the user navigates one post to the next, and since there's no directional relation between posts you'll have to navigate to an end without knowing in what order you're moving. The "traditional" view offered alleviates this problem, but you can't post in that view without finding a new empty cell to post on. How about instead having each block be the thread starting post, like a 3d catalog? Clicking a post would bring up a conventional view of the thread with a more common method of replying. All in a door-less 3d room where all topics can be taken in with a quick glance around the room. Or if you wanted to get fancy, the thread is a 3d pillar that rises or falls as you navigate the thread. Hitting reply would cause a block to jut out the side with a normal POST form. This seems like a good balance of the 3d environment and discussion without taking too many compromises on either side. I guess I'll wait to see what happens in the next installment of 3dchan. I like the potential I see.

>>26412 two teams: people with anime avatars vs. people with shotguns.

>>26492 A minecrafty way to implement threads would be to have a physical room for every OP. You open a door or go down a ladder, and you have a room with all the posts in it. It would be hard to keep the conversation orderly in a non-linear fashion, though. Small rooms with one post each would work great for a spooky themed board, like a long corridor with just a door and one post in every room. It could be an image on one wall and the message written on the other in a scratchy font.

>click on reply >shows its post number but not the post You gotta find the OP to see the whole thread but there's no way to find the OP except luck
