Open alexderpyfox opened 2 years ago

alexderpyfox commented 2 years ago

What topic do you want to discuss?

It is not user friendly it is nice for creating avatars and such but just users don't stay in Neos because there is no UX person that knows what is needed to make it user friendly

Goal of discussion

To hire a ux expert

Discussion:

So basically i played it for a long time but every time I help a new user that is just a user they play it once and don't come back because they arent a creator basically Neos needs the Creation part to be separated from the using part so like a advanced mode for creators and a simple mode for just users it doesn't have that making it too overwhelming for any user

We actually have a UI expert on the team. Their name is Chroma.

I think we've spoken about this before Alex.

The issue for our ui roadmap, isn't that we don't know how to make UI better. We do we have tons of ideas, experience and expertise.

Its a technical an roadmap prioritization one. We don't need designs, we need time and technical development of the UI Engine.

To use an analogy, We don't need a painter, we need paint.

I'm not taking about ui I'm taking about user experience like it needs to be way more like vrchat where you just play games and such and people can just have public avatars that are non editable but still shareable like VRC avatar cloning system and people making avatar worlds with those avatars in it but it all isn't possible because avatars can't be locked to not be editable so there is no avatar worlds for paid for avatars like in vrchat just take a look at vrchat and learn from that the user experience in there is really nice and if Neos wants the market place to be a success user experience really needs to be worked on else it will just not have the userbase to sustain the market vrchat could do a in-game avatar market but haven't yet but it got the users to support a potential future in-game market

Hey Alex, my apologies.

Chroma is also our UX person, along with the majority of the content team. They just need some paint(engine enhancements) to get going.

The blocker on our UI/UX matters is not People its time and technicalness-ness that exists between the engine and the Game.

Thanks! I hope this issue serves as a permanent record to this frequent question :)
