Hello Hypatians!

The "Hotel Room" property has been moved inside this new area, just head up the staircase on your left! Love photography? Check out the new selfie sticks - it has never been easier to get that perfect shot of yourself. Property gets a bunch of new features as well. You can make your own signs with 3D letters, numbers, and symbols. Try using the new scaffolding items complete with built-in staircases and ladders to help you decorate those hard to reach spots. Forget what you look like? Check out the new mirrors, to reflect on your awesome property choices.

Come explore Hypatia, the massively multiplayer metropolis filled with creation tools, mind-bending puzzles, and adorable stuffed animals!

-EXPLORE-
The city of Hypatia is a huge open world, filled with canvases for painting, canals for boating, and stuffed animals for throwing! Follow clues in the environment to find all the hidden areas, secret items, and unique treasures.

The streets of Hypatia can be explored on foot, on a rowboat down the canals and lakes, or through the skies in hot air balloons and airships. Featuring full locomotion as well as teleportation movement modes, our robust control options allow you to move how you feel most comfortable.

Whether you’re navigating a multi-dimensional maze, sailing through the rooftops in an airship, or diving with a plesiosaur at the bottom of the sea, you’ll be amazed by what you’ll discover next. Every corner of Hypatia has secrets waiting to be discovered, and each one will reward you handsomely for finding them! Win unique parts for your avatar, currency to spend in the mall, and lots more.

-CREATE-
Players can draw and paint anywhere, take pictures with one of five different types of camera, or perform a new act on stage in front of a live VR audience. Spray paint comes in every color imaginable, and permanently paintable walls are everywhere. If you prefer a traditional canvas, easels can be found in most of the city’s beautiful parks.

Submit your favorite pieces to galleries like the Art Studio’s Painting Gallery or the Mango Photography Museum’s Photo Gallery, and vote for your favorite works by fellow artists. Can you win first place in the weekly art contests?

Once you’ve made all this art and collected loads of prizes, where are you going to put it all? How about in your own personal apartment? Spaces are now available for Hypatia’s Player Property update! You can design and decorate your own VR home with furniture, wall paper, and lots of stuffed animals! Every door in Hypatia leads to a different property, meaning every player can own a part of the game map for themselves.

-SOCIALIZE-
Striking up a conversation with other players is easy with our proximity voice chat; just say hello! Use the Social menu to add them as a friend, and keep in touch anywhere in the city. Join our active Discord server to stay up-to-date on weekly community-led events and organize with other players.

Through your travels across the city, you’ll be able to find and collect over a hundred unique avatar parts. Then you can customize each part with colors and styles, and mix & match different parts to create your own individual look.
