Hi everyone! I’m creating a new world where HW creators can meet up and chat. I know there were spaces like this during the codeblock era, and after talking to people in forums and VR, it seems the community really wants a hub like that again. I’m also starting a YouTube channel to document my journey learning HW skills, including how I'm building this specific world. I want to show a realistic, grounded approach so beginners feel encouraged to start. The world will be a place for us to connect and share our creative process with people who are genuinely curious. P.S. This is meant to be a community project! If you are interested in building this with me, let's work together. Reply here, DM me, or find me in HW (please send a message so I know you aren't just following randomly!). Here's my Youtube channel link: https://www.youtube.com/@EasymodeHorizon
Released a VR Egg fight!
Hello all! A couple of days ago I release The Chicken and Egg situation, - a VR Egg fight with Tennis Rackets. https://horizon.meta.com/world/979132928610125/?target=_blank&locale=en_GB PvP, but you can practice on your own. At 3pm CET 20 January I'm having a multiplayer playtest half hour, - would be great if people could join and tell me what you think! If you're not able for the event, then if you can want to check it out at some stage and maybe invite your friends then that would be great! Cheers! https://horizon.meta.com/event/889553260133994/Panic Attacks & The Wizard of Oz
Hello! I am new to the world of "World-building" and am working on a project to offer Therapy for Service-personnel initially and then to the wider community if successful. Building confidence is a key element of my vision, that vision being to help people overcome a number of MH challenges. I would like to start with one area in particular that focuses on public speaking. For many years I have taught; in the Army as an instructor, as a secondary school teacher and as a Security trainer. I've always said. If you put me in a Stadium, fill it with people, I will teach Communication skills and Conflict Management all day long and wont miss a beat. Day to day I am out-going, confident and very social however, you ask me to introduce myself to a group, attend and interview or put on the spot to speak I will have an Adrenaline Overload (I hate the term Panic Attack) and literally falls to pieces unless I can quickly find a way out of it. I have had this challenge for around 20 years or so, pretty much started when leaving the military. Over the years I have developed some unusual coping strategies to mask this, the most unusual I think is dashing out of the room saying "I've forgot something, I'll be right back" going to my car, finding my "favourite pen" and using the out of breath feature to cover the shaking of the voice. The years haven't helped, and I have just found more and more ways to get around this limitation. Mainly by employing others who will do the intro work so I don't have to. These strategies have worked, but they are unsustainable, tiring and doesn't take away from the that dreadful feeling. I am assuming some here have an idea what I am rambling on about, as I understand this is very common. Anyway, to the point. Through gentle exposure therapy using VR I want to build worlds where people can learn and train how to desensitise these feelings and hopefully give them stronger coping mechanisms to get themselves out there. I am certain there are some truly amazing people, who have much to offer society that are held back by these feelings so much so they don't put themselves out there, and the world misses out. I thought I would start with something simple like would like designing a world of LLM NPCs that enable a person to enact a part in a play, say the Wizard of Oz. The player selects a part like Professor Marvel and can practice their "lines" against the NPC of Dorothy lets say. That's my end goal I think. In practice therefore what I envision is an individual going into VR accessing the play and selecting the role. When started the NPC speaks their lines, and the player then follows through with their own lines having a conversation. This process continues until the section of the play is completed, as you would in reality. As a newbie, and a proud GenXer I know already I am going to need some help. And that help will be much appreciated, but needs to be at the level of a GenXer who is still wowed by the NES... Looking forward to the journey, enjoying it so far. My favourite point to date was getting that bat to hit that ball! Now if i can just work out where the ball went..... :] Ant⚔️ Spell Sword
Finally finished this project with this original combat mechanic designed as a mobile only game! It's a fantasy adventure turn-based RPG where you spell words to attack the enemy. Clear each floor to earn XP, more health, and of course LOOT! The game starts out easy while you familiarize yourself with the mechanic. Then you start earning armor and weapons to take on higher floors. Use potions to recover HP, and scrolls to summon up to 2 extra letters at a time. This progression system was by design made to be addictive and challenging tracking 4,700+ data points and a custom word engine using JSON files for precise adjustments to difficulty for the 3 player archetypes: casual gamer, the dedicated gamer who put in their time, and those gamers who choose to pay-to-win. Custom leaderboards use World Persistent Variables which allowed me not to track just scores, but also what words earned them their ranking (after filtering out 500 words to stay appropriate to general audiences). Please try it out and vote for the project on DevpostAdventure Engine submission
My contest submission: https://devpost.com/software/adventure-engine Thanks to the huge number of people who helped me out with NoesisGUI! Once the NoesisGUI implementation becomes more stable I look forward to reworking the Adventure Engine UI in a simpler way but I'm very happy that it basically works the way I had imagined despite all the work arounds.
