Hi roslin, first of all i'm glad that you're continuing to support the embassy as promised in the beginning of the project. Do you think that it can be hard to implement an internal bitcoin payment system for buying services or virtual products during the visit?

Well, if there will be anything to buy in our Embassy it will be something connected to someones service - like an exchange or an online shop.

So we don't have to implement an internal bitcoin payment system, as this would be very hard indeed.

Well there are some ideas about it but I don't want to tell all of the secrets Smiley

As for now developing is focused on guides, ATMs, other cool components, multiplayer etc.

Cheers!

Interesting I'm watching this thread with anticipation from now as this could be a really useful tool for BTC education.

I am very glad to hear that!

Many new updates are on the way Smiley So please check this thread for news from time to time Smiley
If you like this project now - in the future you will love it Smiley As it will be only better from now Smiley every new update is adding something interesting to the Embassy.

And you told something very important - that "this could be a really useful tool for BTC education" and that's the point! That is goal number 1 on the Embassy's goal list!

Everyday I see people posting their questions about Bitcoin. Online Embassy will provide answers to all of the most important questions for bitcoiners!

Why to spend hours on searching and reading informations about BTC, when you can enter to the Bitcoin Online Embassy and in our nice 3D environment learn about most important basics and not only - like for example you can test run new ATMs on your own even when there is no any BTC ATM in your city Smiley or you are thinking of buying it .. Smiley you can check how it works in the virtual world Smiley

Well ... Embassy will be only growing. Many ideas are going to be implemented. This will be the best Bitcoin Online Embassy ever! Smiley And for sure - FIRST one! Smiley

Kind regards!

Will this embassy have an interactive MMO element to it or is the endgame private servers?

Thanks for your response!

Yes!  In the future it will be MMO project. But to create an MMO  in the Unity I need to figure out few problems - like we need a dedicated server :-) and good scripting to make it works just fine with no bugs and well ... security must be improved as well as people will be able to create their own accounts and earn some EmbassyTokens :-)  so answer is yes-it will be MMO - but I can't say when.  In the future :-)

Regards!

Adding new news is now as easy as spreading a butter on the bread. :-)
Harder part is to write them :-)

-No bumping while walking between floor tiles Smiley Some say it was not nice Smiley

For our 1st guide:

I hope G. Lucas will don't mind Tongue

hehehe.. Smiley






I will tell you a story - I was working on this guide for a quite a long time - from about a two weeks, and last for 2 days I was working literally NON-STOP with 4 hours of sleep every day and few hours to buy and make some food :] ...

Maybe it looks simple Smiley so I will tell you a developer/designer story:

At first guide was ready few days ago, it was working and MAYBE even it was better ... but ...
A weight of Embassy turn from ~5MB into ~40MB .... and it was JUST one simple guide ... where will be the space for other guides and all stuff, models, etc ?? ... Embassy need to load/open ~as fast as possible. ~40MB! HUGE for people with limited offers or  slower connection ... drama...

So ... I asked my self - how to make it and don't change a weight of a file as much ...

I started do redesign everything ... EVERYTHING.... instead of Hi-Quality movie clips (which I DID compressed before AS much AS was possible to make it VISIBLE (HQ) for a visitor) I decided to use "pictures" ...

And ... this was a beginning ...
I know it looks simple ...
I know Wink

Now imagine:

- "Text - for a guide" ...  I did my best - can change some mistakes if someone will spot some x) Smiley
- ~40 Screenshots - each one edited. Let say this is easy, just take a time.
- ALL of the "Screens" are animated Smiley so ... while the text is scrolling, everything must be just "at the right time".
-Well... thanks to Unity3D and "Animation" tool - which is very, very powerful, I was able to do this  Smiley in well ... a day or some... Smiley
-Then ... Smiley Skybox .. which some can say isn't very high quality, but it all depends ... on how much MB you want to give for just a skybox ... so I did my best Smiley and add some FXs Smiley so you can feel like you are in the space! Smiley Look at all those flying "meteorites" and other space objects! and not only Smiley look down ... from where the text is scrolling Smiley Imagine this with Oculus Rift (I need to do something with this head tracking - I will work on it, I cannot make even a test as I don't own Oculus Sad But will do something in the nearest future with  Headtracking for Embassy Rifters )
-And some simple scripting to make those PLAY/PAUSE/RESET/EMBASSY buttons ... but literally ... ~100 #lines together.

During that a lot of test runs Smiley some simple changes  and here we go Cheesy

It looks simple Smiley
I hope it will be a good guide for every one who want to understand in 411 seconds how to use blockchain.info. (basics Smiley )

Feel free to comment - if you don't like it - tell me why Smiley if you like it - share with others!

AAhh! And I nearly forgot, my story ^ ^ have to answer to a question : what is the weight of Embassy now?

~8-9MB Smiley

I was checking your site. Why is it asking me to install Unity Web Player ?

... Smiley Read the OP you will know.

Because Bitcoin Online Embassy is developed with Unity3D engine.

So you need Unity Web Player if you want to visit Smiley

In the future - when Unity5 will be released Embassy will be also build with webGL! So ... no more web player will be needed.
We must just wait for Unity5.

Regards

If any one would like to support you can find all infos in the OP.

Regards!

Ps. It need support ... to build it up better.

Dobra robota, jak wcześniej widziałem zarys nie sądziłem, że pójdziesz tak daleko, a widzę, że to dopiero początek! Smiley

Hi! Thank you for kind words. As you know currently this is very early stage of development and there is a lot (a LOT) to do to make it full of great functionalities. I am working on it in every free time I have and I believe in the future I will be able to focus only on that project. But you do understand why I cannot focus only on the Embassy at the moment :-)

Few of the New features are almost ready :-) but I will keep details in a secret for now :-)

Ah and what's funny about Bitcoin Online Embassy is a fact that I see hundreds of ideas to put into it so you can be sure that this project will be growing every month from now.

Contact me any time you like.  I will be waiting :-)


Ps. Naprawdę dziękuję za te słowa.  Każdy zadowolony odbiorca jest jak miód na moje serce - a właśnie głównie serce w ten projekt wkładam (I czas :-) ).  Ambasada Online to coś co musi istnieć I nie ma odwrotu :-)
Za wszelkie wsparcie mojej pracy będę bardzo wdzięczny.  Dzięki pomocy społeczeństwa Bitcoin ten projekt ma szansę nabrać dużego tempa :-) na dzień dzisiejszy ambasadę odwiedza około 300-400 osób dziennie a to dopiero początek :-) 
Pozdrawiam :-) jak będziesz chciał mnie znaleźć to najlepiej napisać mi PM na tym forum.  Odczytuję je kilka razy dziennie. Jestem tu co chwilę :-)



Kind regards :-)
