V-Chat 2b's Homespace and Lobby




Visually identical to their final releases. An exception is that the images portraying the worlds each portal in the Homespace would take you to are much larger, not framed, and are placed above the doorways as opposed to on the inside.

The worlds are also dotted with this texture, named "PORT-SYM.GIF", most likely short for "PORTAL-SYMBOL" as they generally seem to be placed to designate the edges of a portal.

These worlds are included with V-Chat 2b

All hotlinks are identical to the final versions of these rooms, with some slight grammatical changes (such as the addition of the word "The" where applicable)

V-Chat 1.1's Homespace




Before The Homespace, there was The Compass.
Visually identical to its final release, with the one difference being that the portal in the screenshot above depicts The Practice Area as opposed to The V-Chat Lobby.
An especially interesting little oddity is that this world includes a "WORLD.TXT" file. No other V-Chat world has a file like this. It simply reads:

High above the central plains, hidden in the misty mountains,
lies the Compass Gate...

These worlds are included with V-Chat 1.1

Sound Effects
All sound effects are identical to the final version in every way.
