captive_aidedHello, everyone!
This is Nick - don't listen to Tiernan, it's just Nick.
Anyway, this is just a quick rundown of what you guys can expect out of this network.
This is open to everyone who didn't go back to their world and ditch the device and/or the memories, by the way - those from the first game and those from the most recent one.
Feel free to contact me if any of this doesn't make any sense.
Voicechat
This is essentially like talking on the phone. All you have to do is select the name of the person you want to talk to, and then tap on the icon that's shaped like a blue phone.
If they notice the call coming through, and they can/want to talk to you, all they have to do is select the option to answer. If they don't answer, you can just move on to the next option for the time being, or wait until later to try again.
Of course, they will be able to see that someone called, and could just as well try calling you back!
Currently, the only way to do a massive voicechat with everyone is to select every single name from the drop down menu, one at a time. Sorry, guys!
Messaging
This is roughly the same as texting!
You select the name of the person you want to talk to, and then type whatever you want to say in the long, rectangular box at the bottom of the screen. There's no way of telling when/if they see the message, without the other person responding to it, but it'll be possible to see when they're available; a green dot will be just under the icon of their face.
Right now, the only way to do a mass conversation with the whole group is to do like the above: select every single name from the drop down.
Video/Streaming
This is a lot like Voicechat, but you'll be tapping on an icon that's shaped like a video camera. But, this comes with two options of its own:
First, you can select the name of the person you wish to have seeing your wonderful face and hearing your awesome voice. If you open up the chat box with them, it'll just be them seeing this.
Alternately, however, there's an icon of a video camera on the main menu you see before selecting anyone's name. If you open this, you'll be streaming for the entire chat. So everyone will get to see you! I'm looking into installing a feature that'll let you guys do this kind of thing with both the messaging and the voicechat features, but it's taking me some time since I only started developing this thing two days ago.

Anyway, like he said, this is open to everyone from the first and second round, so you're all free to come say hello to each other! ]
