What is the relationship between VR Chat and Unity?

Questions & Answers

Hi
I need to create a “simple” multiplayer chat room with avatars. I like a lot of the stuff that you can do with VRChat and have seen some tutorials linking the two.

However I don’t understand the relationship and if this is a possible quick solution to my requirement. I need to control the data (obviously) since there will be attributes that the users of my game have, that will be relevant to which room they can access and the other people they can interact with.

(my game is Google Cardboard)

Thanks for clearing the fog!

You can use PlayFab to store your user’s data. When the game starts up you can authenticate with PlayFab, and you can read/write data about your user there in your game code.

The relationship between Unity and VR Chat is that VR Chat was written in Unity and also they allow you to create custom avatars and objects using Unity to be used in VR Chat. Unity can build to Google Cardboard and any android device.
