VRChat+ Feature Ideas

Hello! Just before we start, the goal is NOT to replace the current VRC+ but to add a more affordable option for those who can’t afford the existing VRC+. As you know, VRChat is a free game, and to support the developers, you can buy VRC+ and enjoy plenty of new customization options and features. However, for some people (myself included), the current VRC+ is a bit pricey. If I want to support the developers without spending too much on VRChat, a second, more affordable VRC+ option (similar to Discord’s Nitro Basic and regular Nitro) would be fantastic. Here’s an example : VRC+ : 9,99 per month -300 fav avatar -custom emoji -sticker -nameplate icons -paralax menu backdrop -photo invite -more trust -possibility to create group VRC Access : 3,99 per month -150 fav avatar -custom emoji -sticker -more trust -possibility to create group (It’s just a suggestion of what the cheaper option could be; I haven’t included all the features, only those listed on the VRC+ presentation page on the VRChat website.) The cheaper VRC+ would be a win-win for both developers and players! More players will be able to purchase a subscription to vrchat, which means more revenue for the developers, and players get access to great features without spending too much money !

Similarly to increased avatar favorites. This would prove very handy to world surfers alike!

Price localization is a powerful tool widely used by many companies. This strategy adapts pricing for different countries or regions, taking into account local economic conditions and users' purchasing power. This way, the product gets a fair value for consumers in each country, ensuring accessibility. It benefits a lot of users who want to subscribe to VRChat+ but can't afford the $10 monthly fee. As a result, with more VRChat+ subscriptions, the company’s revenue and profit would increase significantly more than if the price wasn’t localized. Localization benefits both sides. Here are some examples of the benefits of having localized pricing: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7135020716483092482/ https://wappier.com/the-case-for-global-pricing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/truegaming/comments/hdzj9h/why_regional_pricing_is_important_and_needs_to_be/ https://poeditor.com/blog/what-is-price-localization/#:~:text=Benefits%20of%20localizing%20pricing&text=Adjusting%20your%20prices%20to%20local,increased%20sales%20and%20market%20share .

Throw in a small amount of VRChat Credits each month with VRC+. Doesn't have to be a crazy amount, just enough so it stacks over a longer period of time, so you can support a creator every now and then. I think it would provide a range of positive outcomes: Increased value of VRC+. Player satisfaction. Creator satisfaction. And most importantly imo: Boosted VRC Credits / Creator Economy awareness and usage. Extra ideas: Award the Credits only for playing the game consecutively - achieving streaks for logging e.g. no less than weekly. This could balance it a little bit more, for the potential cash "lost" on giving the credits away.

It would be neat if there was a way to make stickers have emissive parts. Perhaps some kind of bitmask or secondary graphic that could carry the emissive features (or just have the entire sticker be emissive, and creative use of alpha could have a neon light effect)

The ability to drop an avatar pedestal that's just like the sticker/emoji sharing system that just got added would be really nice for creators.

This isn't really an important feature request but I think adding little feature like this one could make games more fun! How it should work: Anyone who has VRC+ can have their icons displayed in the world and it can be useful for player lists, Icons showing on minimap or anything else! This can be a great replacement of player's avatars being used in RenderTexture since I usually play on very high avatar safety and I can see all the strangers as robots.

What's stopping you from just removing the limit?

Idea: Allow to select photos from your Gallery to be featured in your profile. Implementation: Maybe as a section underneath the bio, similar to the list of uploaded worlds by the specific user - header + grid of pictures. Reasoning: A cosmetic feature that plays well with the expressiveness and creativity of the platform, by allowing you to customize your profile and presentation with cool photos of e.g. your avatars, worlds, friends, favorite activities or maybe a DJ logo or a poster for a group/event you are running. Increasing the personal factor and making it more interesting to browse and get to know people. Kinda bringing the user viewing experience closer to Steam profiles and their sections in a way. VRChat already provides a wide range of possibilities to express yourself and user profiles should allow that too. Especially when it could be used to also promote and fuel engagement for initiatives related to the game.

Title says it all. Currently, VRC+ users get 300 Favorite Avatar slots, but it'd be great to have more / higher / increased favorite avatar slots. I'm always at the cap and constantly removing/adding favorites.
