Obtainium: 3DXChat: The Metaverse We all really wanted

2

I don’t know about you, but it really seems like everybody is hyped about all these new Web3.0 Virtual Reality world building projects lately, and yet they all don’t quite live up to our ideal fantasy. Whether it’s Facebook’s Meta, Decentraland, or even The Sandbox, they all feel stiflingly controlled when it comes to fun adult character exploration and roleplay experience. When we think about VR worlds, it just seems like me and all my friends want it to be… you know… hot. Otherwise, it’s no different from one of a hundred other modern open world games.
That’s why I’m pretty excited that I’ve found this new project called 3DXChat! It’s a surprisingly in-depth (and very adult) online 3D virtual reality social platform built for real adult interaction. You can design your own fun and attractive avatars, with all sorts of details, as well as your own customized living space, and then go out and meet all sorts of kinky players in VR or on desktop. And when I say interact, I mean there are even hot-keys for a Kama Sutra catalog of wild sexual acts and positions.

The tools and options to custom design your own avatar are truly impressive, from facial structure, fine tuned body proportions, nipple style and shape, eyelash pattern, hair color gradients, to a large array of editable clothing and accessories. Well, I just spent at least an hour and a half just playing dress-up creating a look I like. Oh, and did I mention there is a built in camera feature so you can take pictures and save them to your own gallery or folder any time you want? I do have to admit that the environmental editor is really intimidating, from a controls and options perspective, but luckily I can get to that later. It’s time to explore!

There are all sorts of public and private spaces to check out and meet other players, including extremely detailed user made environments, like a dark industrial vampire bar called Club Hel, the playful Futa Heaven, Cat’s Lair BDSM club, the list goes on and on. The first place I went (by myself) was a really fun tropical themed spot called The Monkey Bar, where I learned the movement controls and played with the list of 36 different dance moves, while listening to chill island tunes and the waves gently wash against the shore. There are tons of poses to control your character’s body language and personality that do take some exploration and practice. There is also an in-world currency system, where you can tip other players as well as exchange your ‘gold’ for rarified special items, like clothing and accessories and other fun items.

Other than the mouse controlled movement and some of the more advanced sex controls taking a bit of getting used to, this is an entertaining escape. It feels weird, but kinda fun, to be allowed to overtly flirt in a virtual space like this, without fear of the ban-hammer or fun-police. Plus, it’s not even very expensive, particularly when you compare it to the uptight crypto spaces.
