Gather Town Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Training Juniors Remotely Is Possible. Here's How.

  Tools like Gather Town to encourage more ad hoc group interaction. One team I led used this tool daily for nearly a year, and the frequency and quality of our interactions were on par with an in-person office. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Do people miss informal chats with coworkers when wfh?

  I'm really digging gather.town for this. Our team has it set up & the ad-hoc "meetings" have gone up tremendously. You can choose to engage or not but it seems to be way more informal than slack for a quick sync, which is a gigantic strength imo. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Do you agree ? I don't but this company also asked new joiners if they'd join at half of what they were offered. I don't know if they are feeling the heat or are we wrong about remote being best model for IT jobs.

  As mentioned above by @yowzas648 you should check out https://gather.town We started using it this week with my team and it is game changing, it does exactly what you just described. Source: almost 2 years ago

  I met someone in gather.town at a conferences early in 2020 and he turned out to be a business guy and a great sounding board for ideas that went into relm.us. Source: about 2 years ago

• Does Mark Zuckerberg Not Understand How Bad His Metaverse Looks?

  We started using this thing called gather.town and it makes those kind of things 100x more fun. I could definitely see people in my company jumping on a more fleshed out VR version of that. Source: over 2 years ago

• 2D World as Lobby

  So: What about a 2D World as Lobby? Thinking of the https://gather.town resp. https://workadventu.re/ experience, possibly within the game engine. I.e. You have one avatar moving around a map, you are in a voice call with others within hearing distance. Source: over 2 years ago

• Interactive podcasts with showing off NFTs

  Hello, I really like gather.town and I made my own version - www.pfpchat.com - an interactive podcasts where you can show off your NFTs. I'm the only guy on the team and I'm hardcoding 24/7. It will be really good if you host a space/podcast in pfpchat. Source: over 2 years ago

• Not sure if this is the right place to put it, but are there any programs that just let you build a game without having to use script or nodes or anything?

  The closest thing I've found to what I want is gather.town's mapmaker feature. I don't have to assign the character as a character, I plop something down and select from a dropdown of options what it does. Only issue is it's just a mapmaker for an existing program, and it's rather limited in the sense the only 'npc' things I can put down are custom-asset note objects that don't move and only say one thing. Is... Source: over 2 years ago

• So you want to run a virtual event

  Online spatial chat platforms like Gather Town or Skittish can be nice, but require a lot of customization (I'll talk more about them later!). A lot of event organizers I've spoken with lately are interested in repurposing existing online spaces — like, say, finding a free MMO or online game that can serve as a social space — which I think is a really interesting path to explore, even if I haven't seen concrete... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• [D] Is virtual ICLR 2022 worth paying for

  We usually used gather.town platform, which has online video presentation capability. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Opinion on my depiction of dissonance for an audience?

  I decided to deliver my presentation through gather.town which is like an 8 bit, 1980s game environment virtual space. The map I created is very light, and there is a lot of games involved for audience interaction. At the end of the delivery, I reveal my intention behind the decision to use the virtual platform: an attempt at emulating the dissonance in the staging of Tell to a much smaller degree by contrasting...

• Show HN: I made my personal website a minigame using Phaser 3

• I feel like I'm losing my mind.. who else here has software they are required to use that make teaching even worse?

  I 100% feel this on an ethereal level. My school recently went from Google Classroom to Infinite Campus. It may just be me, but I cannot adjust to the number of clicks I need to make to do the same stuff I was doing before. Maybe I'm just used to GC... For some positives, I really have found a couple I like that seem to be pretty popular. For videos I've been liking EdPuzzle. Not the most engaging but better... Source: almost 3 years ago
