In March, Agog is doing something a little different. Instead of gathering virtually in Agog House and staying put, we’re setting off together on a world hop—a live, guided adventure through a curated series of VRChat worlds, exploring what’s new, what’s pushing boundaries, and what’s left us agog.
Our guide is James Truhlar, known throughout the VRChat community as Juice, a front-end developer, 3D designer, and world-builder whose creations have been visited over 3 million times. Part inspiration, part imagination, part how did they do that?, Juice’s worlds have earned a reputation for being as technically innovative as they are creatively satisfying.
Over the course of this world hop, Juice will lead us through his most iconic worlds, share the thinking behind each one, and reflect on his development journey—the experiments, the breakthroughs, and what keeps him building.
New to VRChat? It’s a free, online social platform where people can explore, create, and interact in virtual reality.
Come explore with us. 🌍
How to Join
This Agog House Event takes place in Agog House, Agog’s custom-built world in VRChat, and is free and open to the public.
