The primary mission of VirtualSociety is to be a game that serves the health of its players. We always keep in mind that its primary mission is to help. To help neuroatypical individuals live better day-to-day lives, to help individuals with phobias confront and desensitize themselves, and to help isolated individuals reconnect socially and break the cycle of loneliness.

Hello everyone! My name is Julien Pham, and I am in my third year of the Information and Communication program at the Campus of Letters and Humanities. Since January 8th, I have joined the VirtualSociety team as an intern for a duration of 6 weeks.

Hello! We completed our year at Inria Startup Studio about ten days ago. This departure signifies a lot for our project: we are no longer funded and supported by Inria, we are about to create our company in the coming months, and it's time for us to stand on our own feet.

Hi folks! It's been a while now that the old team, consisting only of Jimmy, Nico, and Clélie, has been thinking about refreshing the game's image. Indeed, without graphic designers, it's challenging to adhere to a well-defined artistic direction and stick to it.

�Hi folks! When I joined the VirtualSociety team, one of my first tasks was to redefine the game's art direction. Today, I'm going to show you how I arrived at the current art direction.

Hi folks! This weekend, we hosted a booth at the Vandoeuvre in Game fair, featuring a program that included multiplayer testing of VirtualSociety, a behind-the-scenes presentation of the studio with a 3D modeling live demo, and our other game, Running Guys!

After our article about joining the Inria Startup Studio, we're continuing the series on our workplace by talking about the people around us at Inria! And with all that, here are some group photos featuring everyone wearing a VirtualSociety t-shirt at Inria!

In the past few weeks, we have showcased several demos of our editor, featuring intelligent snapping functions and helpful information displayed throughout the creation process to assist players by indicating angles and distances, among other things. Today, we'll delve deeper into the workings of all these features, explaining specific cases such as intelligent snapping.

Having curved walls is essential for a building game these days. A few years back, we already offered tools to create rounded floors and walls in VirtualSociety Online. And this time, we decided to approach the problem quite differently from other games, making the creation of curved walls easier and more intuitive; let us explain it all here!

Today we're going to talk about the game engine we use, Unreal Engine, and why we chose it. Back in the days of VirtualSociety Online, we made the choice not to use a game engine. VirtualSociety online being a web game, we had a few possible choices of engines, like BabylonJS or PlayCanvas, but we made the choice to use only a rendering engine, ThreeJS.
