@sagesharp@mastodon.technology @eldang roguelike celebration used a browser mud where you could move between rooms and talk with people who were in the same places as you, a lot had special purposes and some had video or audio calls you would see as you entered that you could join if you felt comfortable enough
it also had a lot of little hidden things that were fun to discover, and things you could visibly eqip
it was pretty fun! and maybe something like that could make the online aspect a little more social..?
@sagesharp@mastodon.technology @eldang oh! it's open source too
@sagesharp@mastodon.technology @eldang it was laid out so there was a main theatre where the main talks would happen, so you could see people all just gradually pile in before those began
there were breakout rooms for several topics after talks where you could go and do something extra with others relating to talks you especially liked
there was also a few general hangout areas, one with a stage, and special rooms you could do other fun things in
of course, every connecting hallway between was also social space
