Launched a spatial social network. Thoughts?
PRODUCT URL : https://bit.ly/spaces-app
Hey everyone! My name is Pablo! I am the founder of this new spatial social network called Spaces.
In ~spaces~ you can build worlds, hang out with your friends, meet new people, buy stuff around the universe, change the way you look and more!
Invite your friends in 3 different time zones over to your newly decorated house and then go shopping on Mars? Why not!
Try it out and let me know what you think! Feel free to comment or shoot me an email at pablo[at]spacesapp.xyz
Built with Unity3D and C#
Also, check out the product on PH!

This looks nice! Are you planning to release it for other platforms as well, considering not everyone (including me) uses iOS? Also, I'm sensing a general trend around virtual worlds as social gathering spaces. What makes yours unique?
Thanks @LukasRos! Yes, the Android build is coming soon!
As for what makes spaces unique, it's that it's not only virtual worlds as gathering spaces. I believe a lot of the main anchor to spaces is the fact that you have your own virtual world where your friends can come and visit you. You can customize this world (add trees, furniture, etc.) to make it your own. You can also buy types of worlds and do the same thing. Further, you can accessorize and really customize your character with different avatars. All these things can be purchased in public worlds in particular stores. Hence, the public worlds are no longer just to "hang out" they are places for active activities (i.e, like a mall). But most importantly, the high degree of customization to your environment in spaces is what attaches the user to the platform. You have a way of differentiation through your taste and are able to display your likes and dislikes. This become very important in the long run as you become attached to your virtual world in a way other places just to "hang out" don't offer.
