MatejEusk Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hello. My name is Matej. I am EDM (electronic musician) and 3D CGI artist. I am also active in metaverses - Entropia Universe, Second Life, OpenSim... Here is my idea>>> MP3 playback as 3D model Boombox Can you be so kind and implement MP3 upload (or integration of soundcloud) and futuristic 3D MODEL OF BOOMBOX??? (place from where MP3/Soundcloud music will be reproduced) Why? For playing live concerts (bands) or DJ gigs, semi-live performances. BOOMBOX should look like: Also there can be official - DUAL STADIUM & DUAL CLUB! Every friday there can be virtual concert of real band or music producer... With some kind of voting system on community site (???). It will be ideal for starting musicians, bands... (you must have soundcloud, official band webpage or official FB group, twitter) You will hear music only in house or ship or huge hall = house (stadium). So in open space there will be official game soundtrack. For having your own boombox you must buy special blueprint and mine minerals and manufacture boombox (same as for vehicles, weapons etc). DUAL GALLERY - also please make place for visual artists, streetartist, graffiti artists, computer artists, visual designers - by uploading PNG to Dual Gallery. Simply some places for creativity... Also with some kind of voting system which artists will have art exposition (concert can be every friday, gallery exposition for one week). Also you will be able to buy that painting as DECORATIVE PANEL for your house or ship. This can be nice for people. Also there can be entry tickets (minimal price) so it will boosts economy. Have a nice day. Matej / Areameta Eco-Conglomerate GalloInfligo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code24 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'd like to see stadiums and public arenas in Dual, but not as something officially managed by the developers. As with all things in this universe, it would have to be managed by the players. A few others have suggested an mp3 sound element, and I can definitely agree it's a good idea if it's practical for players to upload mp3's.

yamamushi Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I don't think this would be possible because of the licensing nightmare it would create for Novaquark. There's no way they could invest the time and resources into trying to implement a system for scanning every MP3 that gets uploaded for copyrighted content. On the other hand I think we might see radio or at least voip in some capacity in the far future. There have been suggestions for implementing some type of system that allows us to stream from an internet radio station ingame, but I believe the response was that it wasn't going to happen for a long time if it even ever did make it into the game. It's fairly trivial to setup an online radio station nowadays, so the technical side is not a huge roadblock if you want to just have an internet radio station dedicated to ingame events. However people would most likely have to listen to it with out of game programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still run your own concerts/live shows in game, it's just the players will have to open up the radio/stream from their browser etc. I guess for the hardcore immersion enthusiasts I can see this being a problem, but really, it isn't.

MatejEusk Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 You can do it by "streaming" way from other sources (soundcloud, official website). Or some kind of interaction between Novaquark and artists. Some kind as Novaquark will be as music label and artists will be payed with in-game currency. So you will be official "artist" affiliated with NQ brand. They will own all rights on your music but only in their game/virtual reality/metaverse. In real world they will be not able sell your music for real currency. Yes there will be need to "one person" who will check or meet band/producer personally (or via skype). Some kind of interview. And some documents to sign + scan + email it back procedure. Or streaming from other sources solution. Official DUAL STADIUM and DUAL GALLERY can be label/publishing house showcase. On other hand everybody must have their opportunity to show her/his art to public... So maybe making topic in forum where people will link their art and voting from community who will be "official" artist or something like that. I want to say it will be not good to have TOP10 pop bands from real world concerts only on DUAL STADIUM. Rather choosing musicians or visual artists from PLAYERS!!! So art made for players by players!!! By this way we will create own music scene and art scene (gallery, voxel sculptures)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamamushi Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Dual Universe is not going to be iTunes. There are already plenty of options for artists to share their music out of the game. Not to mention the countless other things that should be on the roadmap before trying to hire someone who does nothing but manually validates people who want to upload music into the game.

MatejEusk Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I am not saying to have dualTUNES... I want have just one official DUAL STADIUM and official DUAL GALLERY (maybe on ART PLANET). And ability to make musical (MP3 or OGG) or 3D art (PNG-from my official website) event there. I will be happy to send my official music on CD to NOVAQUARK to approve my music. On Entropia Universe there are radio stations also on Rocktropia Planet there are some live DJ acts! Or in SecondLife you can stream your music too... What I want to say. It will be nice to have 12 musical and 12 art events during one year. I think you can easy show or prove that you are real artist or just kid with fake music account... I have no problem if my music will be played in DUAL CLUB or DUAL STADIUM. But cant be sold outside DUAL UNIVERSE metaverse... I think this will make game more attractive.

Cornflakes Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'd have nothing against an object that can be used to play audio streams from external sources (IP radio, soundcloud, blah). As long as i can turn it off and extract the link to the origin of the sound fils. But the important part is turning off others noise. Doesnt need any copyrighted data to be uploaded to NQ servers.

There will be no Dev created buildings and planets are procedurally generated, if you want a stadium, a gallery or a club you have to build it yourself or rent it from another player and run it. The question here is will the Devs provide us with the mechanics to do that, for pictures maybe directly, for music maybe over internet radio, but probably not directly because music copyright and royalty is a huge mess everywhere on the world. Should we get these features i'm certainly willing to support this kind of events within the Terran Union, but don't expect that the Devs will organize such events, the whole idea of the game is that Dual Universe is player driven and the devs provide us only with the tools.

Anasasi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 You have to remember, there will always be that one guy that uses VoIP to play music in a local area.Use him to your advantage, lol.This idea is sound and the ability to place banners with our own PNGs/GIFs, whatever would be nice. However as stated above, everything will be player built, so you can do this on your own or with the assistance of others. The devs really aren't going to have much say in the events, unless of course it breaks something related to EULA. More-over, they probably will be assisting you and you'd never know , they just wouldn't be exclusively dev run events or buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
