Node Graph Will Be Running on Noodles

VRChat developers presented the name for their recently announced "Node Graph" system. In the latest YouTube video, they officially revealed that the name they chose for the tool is "Udon."

According to Tupper who represented VRChat developers in the recent "Developer Update" video, they managed to create and test the tool thanks to a bunch of wizards. Unfortunately, we don't know what kind of wizards they're supposed to be from the perspective of Tupper (or whoever wrote the text for him), but we already asked several people from the Harry Potter fan base, and they claimed to have no association with the creators of VRChat at the time of the interview.

"We cover it pretty simply in the blog post," Tupper mentioned in response to explain the reason why Udon is going to be used instead of Playmaker. "Basically, it wasn't enough. Udon is already more powerful than Playmaker was in regards to interacting with VRChat."

VRChat team also brought up the fact that from now on they support live streams on video panels as well. This may seem like a minor addition, but it certainly has a lot of potential, and multiple content creators already claimed to have big plans for the new panels in works on future updates of their worlds.

Another surprise they managed to deliver in the recent update was a new kit that is supposed to prevent all the hobos of VRChat from being homeless. The kit contains a few assets used in creation of the original VRChat Home, and the developers expect you to make your world look almost exactly the same as the default one, except now you'll be able to place a portal to Uganda right in your home, as well as cover your walls with spicy memes for your entertainment as long as you know how to work with Unity and other software used for world creation.

We also know that VRChat updated their terms of service just recently, which may be a reason to say that they finally updated their privacy policy, although it is not quite clear what the main changes are yet
