Show HN: Hallucinate – Massively Multiplayer Online Rave

The animation player is made by the AI and there have been many optimization passes but the AI did them so I can't help you really with that question. I'm using GPT 5.5. I initially tried Three.js but it was way too slow, so I went building shaders directly. I figured the fastest paths will need to be tailored to the use-cases and a framework is good for humans at the expense of performance but since now we can just write the specific code directly that's better.

stagas34• 2 months ago

Now that I have your attention, I've made this and I've been unemployed for a very long time -due to health issues- but now I'm fine and I'm looking for a job, creative frontend development in TypeScript is my specialization. Remote preferrably - European timezones. My email is in my HN profile if anyone's got any offer it would be amazing. Tysm everyone!

haggy• 2 months ago

First, congrats on getting healthy!

Secondly, since you're presenting this as a portfolio entry, I have some open, honest feedback. I quickly reviewed the repository and there are some pretty major orange-red flags that would dissuade employers from reaching out. Some of them include:

- Lack of coherent repository structure. All files under src/ with no sense of modularity

- The commit messages are very poor. Messages like "cool" and "jump jump" and "perf" do not provide any context to anyone outside of yourself (and probably not even you will remember what those changes were days/weeks from now)

- There are magic numbers everywhere. The biggest offender I found was in shaders.ts

There are more but those are the top ones I saw from my quick review. Again this isn't meant to discourage you. I wanted to provide the feedback to help you be more successful with potential employers. Cheers!

SLHamlet2• 2 months ago

Kinda cool! What's the max concurrency?

stagas34• 2 months ago

Should scale pretty well to hundreds, only key state changes and clothes/messages/etc changes are synced when they happen, it uses dead-reckoning, client authoritative and it's pretty accurate/fast.

SLHamlet2• 2 months ago

Ah cool. So you replace NPCs with real players as they come in, or add them into the mix?

winterrx• 2 months ago

add a real player count

schaefer2• 2 months ago

I think allowing jumping would add a lot. looking over the top of a whole crowd would be more visually dynamic.

stagas34• 2 months ago

Good idea. PR will be accepted.

stagas34• 2 months ago

Added! b for bounce!

mindfulbun• 2 months ago

cool! camera positioning is a bit weird though on jumping, especially when pressing consecutive. but nevertheless it's awesome

schaefer2• 2 months ago

Thank you!

submerge2• 2 months ago

Very cool to vibe out with folks anonymously. Almost like the old days where you could go to a rave and be you without fear someone would take pictures or people outside the rave would know who you are. Would love an option to cycle skin colors / tones.

stagas34• 2 months ago

Yeah, skin colors is a good idea and good for first PR :)

elektronika• 2 months ago

I hear this all the time as a rationalization for why people don't go out anymore, but I don't buy it. You're afraid people on the internet might see you having fun? I've had people shove a phone in my face and take video while I was out dancing. It's rude, but it's not a big deal. The reason people don't go out is because Live Nation/Ticketmaster made live music outrageously expensive and strangled small venues.

conductr3• 2 months ago

I don’t buy that as the or even a reason. I’m older and we had raves before any legit venue would touch them. I remember once a venue was forced to cancel due to local law enforcement pressure. It happened the day before. Word spread real quick that we would just meet in a field on someone’s private land, a place we regularly had keg parties and most teenagers were aware of. We always found a way to party in those days. It was the number one objective every week, knowing where we would party on the upcoming weekend. This all was in 90s before anyone I knew had a mobile phone and the internet was not very useful yet.

My observation is that we were just bored a lot. It has been a long time since young people have been as bored as we were back then.

Totally different decade, but my 90s high school experience was very similar to the movie Dazed and Confused. It’s odd how similar those experiences were versus what has come with the tech disruption of youth.

olelele• 2 months ago

Come to Berlin, you get stickers for the phones cameras and if you film/take photos you’re thrown out..

dag11• 2 months ago

you could go to a rave and be you without fear someone would take pictures or people outside the rave would know who you are

These still exist! Look for events promoted as such, or look for smaller local events for the genres you're interested in - the latter might not ban phones, sure, but the vibe is still what you're seeking. Nobody's recording you.

inkcapmushroom• 2 months ago

I like it! but without ability to execute own dance moves, not really dancing... Tried with keyboard but it didn't work.. Now imagining infrared webcam thing and some DIY stick on reflective things.. set up your own rave cave, attach sensors, dance, your virtual self mirrors... now you're raving

stavros• 2 months ago

That would be great, can you make a PR for it?

NuclearPM• 2 months ago

That’s a weird thing to say.

tardedmeme2• 2 months ago

You could also actually go to a rave. It should be easier than setting up your VR environment.

embedding-shape6• 2 months ago

I'd recommend the same, dancing with strangers is very different than dancing at home alone.

With that said, not everyone lives in locations where these sort of parties are accessible, for some it's multiple hours away and not always doable. I'm happy both exists, but obviously, prefer in-person events myself any day of the week, and if people haven't experienced it before, they definitely should :)

0xbadcafebee4• 2 months ago

I would need to drive 4 hours to get to a city that has raves, pay for a hotel, parking, entrance fee, and it would take 24 hours of my time

embedding-shape6• 2 months ago

You're basically describing VRChat raves :)

emayljames• 2 months ago

Looks like you have a serious moderation problem, there are racists running around using n-word racist slurs

jazzpush2• 2 months ago

Not sure why you're being downvoted - I had a blast until the inevitable edgelords spamming the N word. Maybe worth someone adding a PR to filter out such words.

stagas34• 2 months ago

Yeah, I added some but they find ways around it. Eventually I'm monitoring and blocking ips manually. Needs an admin area to make this easier.

jackb40402• 2 months ago

You can downvote on HN?

adzm• 2 months ago

Yeah that's not very PLUR :(

embedding-shape6• 2 months ago

I've been a raver for decades, not until I jumped into reddit I started reading and seeing people writing about "PLUR" (Peace Love Unity Respect) a bunch. Our little community never really interacted with the US side of things, and never used any acronyms or "sayings" like that, it was just built-in into the community, and people running around saying stuff like that would be kind of inauthentic and borderline sketchy. Just be that, no need to say it or remind others.

Kind of fun and interesting how the two electronic music scenes are very similar, but things like that remind me how different it is in say Europe than the US, even though the vibes are obviously similar and more or less the same, just way more implicit, not so "Look like this and do that".

tsol• 2 months ago

I don't see anyone else's messages. Don't know if they turned them off at this point. This is why we can't have nice things

M4v3R• 2 months ago

Fun idea! I was surprised that it loaded on mobile and UI was kinda reasonable but I could tap any buttons to move or do anything. I’ll look into sending a PR for fixing that.

stagas34• 2 months ago

That would be amazing. I think it would require a complete rethinking for mobile/tablet a different branch of controls.

QuantumNomad_• 2 months ago

You already have all the buttons on screen. Making them clickable would make it usable on mobile.

stagas34• 2 months ago

Mobile/tablet works now. Tap to target to walk there.

AdammadA3• 2 months ago

It's cool to see things like this, I wasn't aware of. I made something similar for VR around 6 or 7 years ago with full DJ mixing on real vinyl turntables. I got things built so DJs could play their set from anywhere in the world and have access to their music from their own studio or home etc. Unfortunately i was one guy making this and health issues have sadly put this project on hold indefinitely. It would be a shame to let it die like this and would love others to carry the project further. What would be the best way to share this, i really don't know as i made it using unity engine, all my own assets, scripts etc are made by me, no vibe coding or anything like that.

Here's a couple of videos of the project if anybody is interested in carrying this further, please let me know thanks.

thenthenthen2• 2 months ago

Super cool, during covid times I sorta started making a system where you could back2back dj mix with a remote friend, but never really got anywhere. Would love to pick it up again, or know if there have been some new developments in this field? There are some ‘jam together’ type projects but as I recall, these werent really suitable for DJ mixing electronic music (latency wise).

nluken• 2 months ago

Unfortunately, you're usually working against physics and not software, because, as you allude to, playing music together requires near perfect latency (some sources say 10ms as an absolute maximum) that's physically impossible to achieve over a long distance, even if you had a perfect connection.

AdammadA3• 2 months ago

the B2B idea was something i too wanted to implement but ultimately didn't want to look too far ahead and bite off more than I could chew knowing the potential problems as mentioned below by the other commenter with latency, mixing and syncing, interpolation, extrapolation etc.. At that point I just decided to focus on 1 DJ / Producer doing a live set and essentially just live broadcast without any sync issues to handle as it wouldn't matter if the set was delayed. But it would be so cool if that feature could be implemented. I hope one day somebody much smarter than me could work towards some of these features.

sneak• 2 months ago

If you want other people to carry it further, release your work as free software.

AdammadA3• 2 months ago

I'll look into doing this. I'm not sure how things work legally with the unity engine and relinquishing my assets using their game engine as free. I assume all my assets etc are clearly mine to give away without conflicting with unity's terms and conditions. I'll have to do some research and find out what is the best way to share this in hope of progression.

Do it for VR

foresto• 2 months ago

The first time I saw something like this was in a music-focused virtual world from the 2000s. Strangers would strike up conversations with each other, dance (in some cases to well-known artists), wander around to see what others were doing, and generally just hang out.

I think it was called vSide.

I think that scene is overrun with influencer types and various types of recreational substance use. Maybe I'm wrong.

barbs• 2 months ago

Not sure what part of the world you're from but I'm sure you can find some decent authentic gigs around where people aren't doing it for the likes and follows :)

Honestly, going to a rave with a dancefloor and cool people is kind of lifechanging. It's kind of the environment that a lot of (most?) dance music is made for. Have a great time!

grvdrm4• 2 months ago

NYC (area). So - fortunately, plenty of folks come through here!

bitwize• 2 months ago

The scene has always been overrun with recreational substance use, dawg. Partake or not as suits your vibe and life goals, but get ready for it to be a prominent thing among others.

"Influencer types" are new; social media has been corrosive even to this scene as well. A number of clubs in the UK and elsewhere are implementing no-phones policies as a result, so you can dodge some of it by picking venues.

grvdrm4• 2 months ago

Fair points all around. I am now flashing back to jam/funk shows that occurred in smoke clouds.

datsci_est_2015• 2 months ago

Varies heavily by venue and subgenre. All of the shows that I can remember offhand I saw absolutely minimal phones / videos / picture taking. It was usually me (briefly) because I love going back through a decade plus of videos and reminiscing, usually 1-3 per show depending on how important the show was to me.

There’s a sampling bias that occurs if you rely on social media to inform you how rampant “influencing” is - of course shows with more influencers will be the ones that show up in your feed, because they’re the ones with the influencers!

grvdrm4• 2 months ago

Totally fair. Hard to decipher from social media - I stand corrected and I’ll go anyways!

One question, not requesting a change, just looking for a "why" type comment; why did you make it so you can change the progress of the videos playing?

Reason I ask is, seems to be it would be more immersive/mmo-y, if everyone was experiencing the same thing as the same time.

The whole point of a rave is to take Molly and have fun connecting with others who have also taken Molly. At least for this introvert.

I was never a fan of Electronic Music, I tolerate it for the drugs and the temporary extroversion.

abhaynayar2• 2 months ago

How do you get into raves, and how do you take "Molly" and connect with others who have taken "Molly"? (Speaking as an electronic music super-fan, but curious about having never listened to it outside of my personal-devices per-se).

mycodendral• 2 months ago

Look up camping EDM festivals.

mountainriver• 2 months ago

Most raves are just EDM shows now. In the 90s they were secret warehouse parties, and instead of Molly it was “Ecstasy” Molly can be an unbelievable experience but please be very careful if you have mental illness.

diffs4• 2 months ago

I lucked out by meeting my partner, and she knew people who were really into the rave scene so I got into raves by going where they told me to go.

However there may be other ways. There might be Facebook groups that advertise raves in your area for example. Event websites, local blogs. You may or may not end up in a good and fun one, but you might end up meeting someone who can point you in the right direction.

One problem you might encounter is age. I find it funner to go to age appropriate events. If you’re in your 30s for example, you probably don’t want to party with 20 year olds. And electronic music culture is old enough that at this point you have people in their 50s still going to raves and doing drugs. So however old or young you are, don’t let that be the barrier.

Molly is something you can only get from a dealer, unfortunately. There’s a site called RollSafe[1] that seems to have decent information on how to take it safely.

Connecting with people who have taken Molly is easy though. Just come up to them and offer them a friendly hug.

[1] https://rollsafe.org/

cmwelsh• 2 months ago

Facebook these days. Be careful; it’s expected to accidentally do methamphetamine at these events.

slfnflctd• 2 months ago

If at all reasonably possible, try to find a place where drugs can be tested to see what they really are (sadly a rare thing still, but it exists).

The next best thing to do is talk with people in the scene and find out what they consider a trustworthy source. Any single person trying to offer you pills is a potential scammer or worse, you need to verify from other sources whether they're legit.

There's probably a better than 50% chance you'll get something close enough to what you want regardless, because incentives are aligned with everyone having a good time. But just like everywhere else, bad actors will always exist.

stinos2• 2 months ago

There's a huge variety of electronic music styles. I'd really recommend trying some without the substances. Maybe the extremes are your thing? Or the highly melodic euphoric ones? Or dark stuff? Etc..

The nice thing if you find something is that it's also sustainable - as in: can do this for the rest of your life - which at least for me is definitely not the case with mdma.

diffs4• 2 months ago

Well, I'm a lifelong Metal fan. I like, for example, Goa Trance well enough, but I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy just listening to EDM for pleasure the way I can with say, Technical Death Metal.

DoneWithAllThat• 2 months ago

Aside: I’m not sure how many people realize how big DJ events are in VRChat, especially amongst furries. The virtual furry con Furality is coming up for example and the dances there are huge, thousands of simultaneous attendees. Worlds for events will have full DMX lighting control and sophisticated audio setups.

DJs will often do live mixing as well, it’s not just pressing play on pre-recorded sets, while wearing their VR gear. Recently an event was fully synchronized between an RL version and VR version, complete with integrated lighting setup (the same DMX signals were controlling both RL event space and VR world lighting simultaneously).

Every weekend there’s dozens of huge rave/DJ events going on 24 hours a day mostly be EU and US organizers, although Japan goes hard too (their virtual cons are mind-boggling huge and have major corporate sponsors).

coldfoundry• 2 months ago

I joined but seemingly I had to click start on the youtube video and there was no centralized sync sever. I can only assume the song in the 2hr mix that was playing for me, well, wasn’t playing for everyone else which kills the whole vibe of a rave for me. You should give the ability for clients to sync to the master playtime so it’s at least only a few seconds off! Would really increase the vibe instead of feeling gimmicky.

stagas34• 2 months ago

You have a point, on the other hand, jumping in a set where I missed the intro and build-up, kills some of the vibe for me. This way everyone gets the same experience. That said, the plan is eventually to sync the rooms if that turns out to be a better experience.

montag• 2 months ago

Suggestions:

- make the controls work like a typical FPS (i.e. WASD controls should not rotate the player but just strafe)

- make spacebar jump, and a different key to talk, like T

- make the jump work like a platformer where you start falling as soon as you release the button. so people can make small hops to the beat

- stop dancing after a few seconds of inactivity

stagas34• 2 months ago

1) It's not an FPS though, you don't need aiming and you need to rotate without having to touch a mouse.

2) Maybe

3) Maybe

4) Everybody dancing forever is crucial for the feeling. You don't stop dancing in a rave. If you want that you sit down or change to standing motion.

Very very cool! I love everything except the "pan" functionality. Conceptually I want to pan the world (i.e. grab the world and spin it around my character), not pan the character's FoV. This inverts R and L and makes it the opposite of basically every 3D pan I've ever used.
