GLITCH

Glitch my avatar.

The Heavy Saber glitch engine is built right into the client. Taken from the Glitch Art community going back over a decade, its processing scripts were converted to work inside the Palace on props. It loves full-color pictures from the web. Roll nine looks, reroll any one you nearly liked, set its strength and blend, and wear it.

Want it faster? /glitchme meltdown in chat does it too, and x8 makes it animated.

To use the tool in its full glory, check out heavysaber.com.

PICTURE

LOOK

Running right here in your browser. In the client, it lands on your avatar.

WATCH TOGETHER

Movie night, on the Big Screen.

YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and Jellyfin play right in the room. Connect your own Jellyfin server and your whole movie library is ready for movie night, in sync for everyone in the room. Plex support is on the way.

Big Screen fills the room with the video and leaves everyone standing on top of it. Click again to shrink it back, or go full screen.

Pass the remote around or leave it on free play. The queue is out in the open in the Media panel, and items can be skipped. Wizards add the player to any room with a single click in Authoring mode.

Type your name, click a button, and get a pile of decorated versions that show up in every Palace client. Not feeling them? Hit reroll for more.

SPOOKY TEXT

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K

Start a line with & and every letter comes out a little off, drifting in a ghostly glow. Great at midnight in a dark room.

PROPS

Bring your whole bag.

Create new props, or import animated ones. Bring in anything from the Palace Prop Preservation Project, any .prp file you have, or your whole PalaceChat bag.

PROP ARCHIVE

Import from the Palace Prop Preservation Project.

Browse the bags saved by the Palace Prop Preservation Project right from the prop bag, or search them by name. Tick what you want and it lands in your bag, with animated props ready to play the moment you put them on.

SCRIPTING

Write it, and see what's wrong.

Script in Iptscrae, and soon in Python too. The Cyborg editor has IntelliSense-style suggestions, syntax highlighting, autocomplete and auto-closing braces, with line numbers and errors shown as you type.

SMOOTH SLIDE

A blast from the past.

Hold the right button and glide, Phalanx-style, with echoes of your avatar trailing behind. Everyone else sees you glide too, instead of hopping from spot to spot.

DOCKABLE PANELS

Lay it out your way.

Chat, people, rooms, prop bag and logs. Drag them where you want them, stack them, float them. Your room stays front and center.

OPERATOR PANEL

Running a room, made clear.

Room settings as switches that show what's on right now, room actions a click away, and moderation tools for one person, all in one panel.

LOOKS AFTER THE CLASSICS

Nothing you made gets left behind.

HexPalace speaks the classic protocol, so it works with existing palaces. Props, paint, Iptscrae, prop rooms, your cyborg: it's all still here. See everything that's in it.

More under the hood

Grows with your screen

Shrink it to a corner or fill a big monitor. It stays sharp either way.

A font for dyslexic readers

OpenDyslexic comes with the app. Pick it for balloons, names or the chat log, or turn it on everywhere in Options.

Themes

Make the whole app yours, not just your avatar.

Text-to-speech

Have chat read out loud while you do something else.

Room and door editing

Drag doors and spots right in the room, as a wizard. Hide a door and it's saved to bring back later.

Sandboxed plugins

Palace owners approve each permission a plugin asks for. A plugin only gets what it was given.

Web dashboard

Rooms, people, backups and add-ons for server owners, in a real site.

The Tavern, a neon-lit bar with arcade machines

AI BOTS

Someone's always in the Tavern.

AI-enabled bots can do anything from answering basic questions to helping you code new cyborg scripts. It's opt-in, on the official HexPalace chatbot. Ask at the palace to get it in yours.

It's already live.
