WELCOME, KALAWACON 2024!
Saturday October 26th & Sunday October 27th!!
The premiere virtual meetup for the shared Mar Katoto community is coming back! Check out the programming for this year's convention:
What is KalawaCon?
It's the convention-styled Mar Katoto Community meetup, taking place in VRChat, as well as the Discord!Do I need VR in order to join VRChat?
Nope! You can download the program for free and it has a very robust desktop mode!Where can I download VRChat?
It's up on Steam as a free download! I highly recommend you download it ahead of time and take a couple moments to get familiar with the app. There isn't a particularly deep learning curve, but its good to know how everything works before heading in!
Also recommended for folks specifically using Quest/Meta VR headsets - download VRChat off the Meta Quest store rather than Steam, it'll run better and smoother for you since running through Steam is a process on top of another process for your computer.How will the meetup work?
Details will be shown at a later time, but if you really want to get ahead of the curve, you can join the Discord, as well as the VRChat KalawaCon group!Am I allowed to bring a +1 to the event?
Ideally, we'd like to have people who are most involved with the community to come through to the VRChat event, as we will have limited space due to the restraints of the VRChat world. However, we will be showing off some events in the Discord, so please stay tuned!Artist Alley? What does that mean??
Similarly to last year, KalawaCon 2024 is getting a brand new world! This grants us some really wonderful creative freedoms, including our own Artist Alley!Now, this isn't an artist alley in a traditional sense, but rather, an section of the world where you can create your own booth to promote any of your art! If you've seen the way that the booths are set up at the Stuck at Home Con/SAHcon world in VRChat, you already have a pretty good idea of how it'll work for KalawaCon.I'm lagging A LOT in VRChat. What's the best way to optimize?
Lucky for you, one of our architects, Floober, made this handy dandy guide for you to check out!
