Jmelt Kurisu

==Inspiration For The Midnight Bar==
Jmelt was inspired by a game called VA-11 Hall-A and decided to build his bar world around the game and its theme although not a 1:1 copy. His world retains the style , feel , and drink machine of the ingame bar while having a unique layout and making it a new creation. Originally Jmelt visited bars that were exact copies of the ingame bar but they all lacked the main drink machine mechanic that the real bar had. 
==The Midnight Bar Development==
The core focus of creating the bar was an idea of the game bar in a 3d environment and multiplayer. With that as the core focus other parts stuck as ideas like making it smaller and forcing others to talk and mingle with people. It became an idea of a social space where any person could start an instance and set up a bar group. Jmelt felt a lot of worlds had Elites or feelings of small people can't start groups in worlds because another group had logos everywhere. Then the banner system was born. It currently id locks to a group or person that has paid a certain tier in patreon and lets the group or person have a banner over top of the counter above the inside door (more details on The Midnight Bar world page).
==Community Response To The Midnight Bar==
During the explosion in popularity of the bar Jmelt was unable to know about how successful it became due to health issues. It was 2 weeks before he returned to his patreon and socials, he was surprised to see all the support he gained from the world. It would be about a month later before he could return to Vrchat and see first hand the community he helped create. The support and subscriptions on patreon he gained helped pay for the medical bills. To quote Jmelt - ‘Did you know vrchat saved my life?’
==What's Next==
Jmelt continues to update The Midnight Bar and focus on pushing more features while adding some community requests. Even though it's been a year since he released his most popular world it's still in active development and far from finished. His plans are not just for Vrchat. He currently is in the process of making his own game called WAYSIDE Satellite. Currently it is still in development and a release date is unknown but without being released it already has a small following and group of supporters. 
===Trivia===
-Jmelt goes to his world while groups are hosting instances under unknown usernames.
