I love this app and the community in it! It’s so exciting to watch this app grow! The community is great. People from around the world come in and hang out, play games, and do events. Theres many different ways to move around in Banter, and one way that is very unique compared to any other apps is the spider ropes. I run one of the events called Goth Night, and we dress up in our finest black clothes and swing around like spiders in a dark cathedral!
Came for giveaway,stayed for community. It's a social game, and even as a not-so-social person, I love it! I joined back in April for some giveaway. It was a good app then, it's a great app now, and extra features are coming almost every week.
I still remember my first event. We were with 3 people (me, the host and the CEO) AND I still had an awesome time. Now the discord has 6000+ members and there are concurrent events with lots of people in each of them.
The physics engine is on point. You can walk, run, jump, climb, fall, slide, crouch, ... (yes, you have legs in Banter!) There are parkour events to teach you everything. Or you can go to a space with recordings of the parkour teacher's avatar to learn everything at your own pace. Gorilla-tag mode (legs disappear, and you walk on your hands) is in beta and a flying mode is announced where you will have to flap your arms to fly.
You can build your own spaces with A-Frame and/or Unity and host them wherever you want (Technically, Banter is a browser and the spaces are webpages) There is a synced YouTube player so you can watch videos together. Banter uses ReadyPlayerMe avatars, but custom avatars are currently in beta (there are some limitations like max 15000 triangles to make sure Banter stays performant) You can cast your PC screen to share any content you want There is an AI-Gallery where you can do SpeechToImage And also Karaoke, Improv Night, Game Night (jackbox,tv) Goth Night, Dinner Party (in mixed reality for VRDesktop users), Story time (listen to people reading books), zero-gravity at the ISS, ... and MORE!
Last but not least, the community is awesome! Everybody is friendly and practically no kids Staff is always around, super nice and always helpful and patient.
Love this. I love banter and the community that’s in it-there’s an awesome backrooms experience to explore for hours, sports, movies, social and more! You can build worlds to share and there’s always cool events happening. The Devs also love feedback and work on anything that people think need improving/adding to the app. Can’t wait to see what else pops up in the banter-verse!
Actually… great. I’m not a big fan of VR chat or games like it. I don’t really see the point in sitting around and talking, but I’m actually enjoying Banter. Here’s why:
- Physics based movement (climbing, swinging, etc) is quite fun and gives me something to do while having out. Some worlds, such as backrooms, are actually fun to explore. - It looks decent, but more importantly: it actually performs great.
There’s definitely things to improve upon and I’m certain it won’t be for everyone, but it’s worth checking out.
Yes! Events!! Love that they have events that can fit any schedule, are easy to find, and you don’t need to be a part of a underground group to join. Added bonus is the people who use this app! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly! There are big worlds to explore even if you’re a loner. Excited to see what comes next!
Brilliant, simply brilliant! I have tried many social apps in VR, but I can tell that this one is the best I've found. The thing is, the staff is attempting something that none of the other social app platforms have had the courage to do! Spaces are already awesome, and they are expanding rapidly, as anyone can create spaces. The people are fantastic—truly! The staff is the best I could imagine, and you can meet with them every day, especially at events. They organize a lot of events! Long story short, give it a couple of days, try it, and you won't want to try anything else.
Banter is the best. I've tried all the social VR apps and none of them has felt as rewarding to use as Banter. The community has been great for all time I've seen in there, nothing but positive interactions and good people. The events the moderators hosts are also another highlight with a wide variety of stuff. I highly recommend it!
