So I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a bit and I think I actually want to try and make something out of it.

I want to make a YouTube series tentatively called "So You Wanna Make a Topopolis?"

The basic idea is instead of just making another video explaining what a Topopolis is, I want to treat it like we're actually trying to build one. Start with the basic concept, work through the problems one at a time, and slowly end up with our own reasonably thought-out design.

I've already started putting together the overall project and how the series would work, but realistically I know my limitations lol. I can do the research and I can learn things as I go, but I am not a physicist, 3D animator, professional editor, etc. And I think this would be WAY cooler as something a few people made together anyway.

So I'm curious if anybody here would be interested in helping make the first video.

Could be research, physics/engineering knowledge, Blender/animation, editing, graphics, or just someone who's really into megastructures and wants to contribute ideas.

For now I literally just want to get one good pilot made. If it turns into something people actually like, then we can figure out where to go from there and potentially crowdfund the rest of the project.

I'm not expecting anybody to suddenly dedicate the next year of their life to my random YouTube idea lol. Mostly I'm throwing this out there to see if there are a few people who think this sounds cool and might want to help me actually make it.

Dm please!

At the moment it populates the lobby screen with random NPCs, what if instead it populated it with your friends list. The outfits your friends have on are basically put in the background at the bar, or leaning on the poles, and if you invite and they accept, instead of just teleporting next to you, they walk from the background up next to you into their spot!
