3dxChat vs. 3XO
There are a lot of rumors going on regarding a new game which might come up soon with the name 3XO.
I am trying objectively at this blog to think about what will happen maybe at the near future regarding both games.
The new MMO did finish the kickstarter an December last year and did earn project money with it. This means it is not definitly sure this game will ever come online. Just saying this cause it is quite early quite after the kickstarter to be sure about it. Regarding the home page of 3XO the beta-testing might be at april 2023. I was told the beta testing will be at summer 2023. However…..this might be a good way to take a closer look at the game with participating at the beta-testing.
The game-play might be close to 3dxChat - Adult MMO but the concept seems to be different. You have to pay once money to access the game (vip version offering too) and you can buy at a ingame shop cloths and? How I understand there will be lot of features ingame e.g. Mini-Games, rating of partners, tons of poses and and and. At 3dxChat you do pay a montly/half-year/year membership. 3dxChat is pretty cheap, when you take the one year membership with the 50%discount and you do have access to all ingame content.
There is already a big community at the discord server of 3XO and everybody is waiting and giving input about needed features for the new game. It is not right moment to value the community in my mind for 3XO. And maybe this is a issue about 3dxChat cause the COM is kinda not existing or nobody does really take care about it. The COM is even fighting each other cause of the “pushing with gold situation” of rooms ingame - “battle about guests”. Lots of people are really tired of this mega-group fights of clubs ingame. Why not making a map with located open rooms? (well I know gold - but there could be other ways to earn gold with this game).
Behind 3XO will be the powerfull Unreal Engine 5. This engine is more uptodate than the 3dxChat engine. But dont missunderstand this. The 3dxChat engine is pretty powerfull and works outstanding good with the animation of the avatars. Interesting to see is that the 3XO will work with the avatars of DAZ3D. But I guess you have already seen this of the preview videos of 3XO. DAZ3D and the DAZ3D Store is blown up with content for the avatars and there are so many other pages which are sellling cloths and features for DAZ3D avatars like the marketplace of renderosity. I guess it wont be a problem to bring content ingame for 3XO but cause there are already existing so many extra cloths to buy how 3XO want to make it interesting to design ingame cloths for selling it ingame for players? Looking forward to get an answer when the game will be online. Did you notice the word “render”? Well yes - cause that is mostly the basic of DAZ3D Avatars or what you do with it - rendering pictures; like using it for creating a renpy story (storybook with pictures). When you do work with DAZ3D you will learn how to light your Avatars - just saying the 3way/point lights for Avatars. How will this look like with a full running engine? DAZ3d is trying since years to make their Avatars looking good with additional software you can buy for animation. The animation of DAZ3D avatars is in my mind still looking a little bit like “puppies” thats why I did prefer to do rendering with DAZ3D at the past.
What will happen now?
It is to early to answer this. The best might be to wait for the beta testing and taking a closer look at the new game. I do think the success of 3XO will be very close related to the animation of the avatars. If the animation will look good, then there will be a second interesting adult MMO to give it a try.
Bytheway: 3XO even focus on to have an ingame worldeditor
