I still visit regularly

Décor vraiment magnifique , très beau travail !

well, it takes us out of our tiny real world spaces and puts us in a huge, spacious apartment frozen in a late afternoon sunshine on a peaceful day. :) I really think the magic of VR/AR is going to be the subjective experiences that people have there. Its not going to be about gaming. We all have a different experience in a real space, and so also in a virtual space. I love games but they are all scripted experiences. Aloy isnt going to say anything different for me than she is for you. :)

@Socrates no plans as of right now. if i can find the time i would like to make another, nicer looking home one with a more realistic scale, but nothing set in stone yet. i'm glad you like it though, thank you.

still very strange to me how many people ended up downloading and enjoying it

Its one of my faves. Any plans on additions? Seems like a laundry would be handy. Outside animations would be dope. I dont know how hard that is to add.

@Socrates yeah it's enormous. just went along with no real attention to scale.

Is it based on an actual apartment? I paced it out and its something like 2500 sq ft? lol The rent is too high to even visit in VR.

I am an Architectural Designer, I make 3D worlds, could you steer me in the direction on how to import one of my models into steam home? I could show you some of my work

The environment is absolutely amazing with the props, the proper scaling, and especially the lighting. I’m currently trying to learn to create my own VR home because I was inspired by this. If possible I’d like to ask a few questions so you can point me in the right direction when it comes to creating something like this

One of my pet peeves I have about many of these steam homes creations is that many of them feel real static. One of the charms about the original default home is that it seems to be robust with life, trees swaying in the wind birds and butterflies.
This particular home isn't too bad, being indoors, but some cool features would be to have birds flying and even landing on the window seal or perhaps a plane flying over the city, or better yet moving clouds. All of these small elements adds to the immersion of actually being in a real, living and breathing environment.

Side question, is there any possibility in the future of making an at night version and or somehow being able to add retractable blinds? I'm sure the programming on the blinds might be a bit much but man would it be cool.

Honestly the best home area ive come across so far. 10/10.

nice nice xd

Nice

Great home, the only thing I suggest you add is a working mirror in the bathroom, and perhaps a different plants to break up the redundancy. Oh and led light strips on the bottom of the shelf strip would be a cherry on top.

fuck

cool

great

well done

Very cool and well done!

Thanks, Its much better without the rumble of trucks for watching movies.

Great job on the space! I made it my home page and the tv's are my desktop. I would like to be able to remove the pictures in the bedroom and put up my own if that's possible (I put up stuff but its a bit crowded). Also, like the others have said the street noise is great but rumbles a bit too much to use for long term. I did try a few different backgrounds but nothing else seemed to look as good as the default one. Lots of room which is great because I made a snowman in the living room for the holidays too.

Great place. Would like to place my monitor panel were the TV is and watch a movie except for the background noise. It's too loud. It's as if someone left the sliding door open. Maybe consider an option of turning off the background noise or removing it all together.

This room is so close to replacing my current home default. The only thing I could add is an option to remove ambient sounds. There seems to be a low frequency hum, like city noise.

Really like it so far, though I'd really like just a shell of the place so that I can deck it out myself or recreate my bedroom in the actual bedroom.

Also if you could release one without the city scape in the background so custom skyboxes work better that would be cool too.

Besides that great stuff!

very cool.

Thanks for the suggestion, that and the angle and brightness of the sun are things I've been tweaking a bit.

Great work!

One thing I'd try would be to add more lighting contrast. The indoor lights are almost as powerful as the outdoor lighting, so turning them down, or turning them off altogether would help the outdoor lighting flow in more. The dynamic range of lighting is alot larger in VR than on a flat screen, so having some areas be not directly lit can work better.

Wow, thank you so much, mechsicko. That is an absolutely massive compliment for my first published map. I'm glad you appreciate the little QoL features like the couch. I've subscribed to enough homes to know exactly what would feel good and work well for me, and I'm excited to see that being passed on.

I do plan on updating this further with more detail and some fixes (if you put your hand out of a window, you can TP onto the buildings and get stuck.) I also plan on adding some ambient city sounds if I can manage to jump through the Source engine's labyrinth of adding custom sounds.

Again thank you for the comment, brother, made my day.

Absolutely fantastic environment. The chessboard alone is amazing but so many things here are done right. things I could not even get out of paid versions. I like playing chess spinoff games and this board allows that freedom while being easy to move pieces with a number of intuitive grips and the pieces have collision physics. The scale is perfect, like everywhere and the ability to teleport into the couch and cushion height make it super easy to get it to align with real world items or on top of the bed. I normally don't comment on things like this but it was op's first and they were curious how they did.

Knocked it out of the park my dude, even most professionally done environments or game worlds miss a bunch of important quality of life elements and attention to detail that are present here. Hope it gets updated and Speedblack makes more. Legend.
