MHCP Feedback 3/4/2025
Hi all! We want to hear from you on how we can continue to improve MHCP to better support your success. To be clear, this isn't about Horizon feature requests or platform...
Forum Discussion
- What do you want to see from the Meta Horizon Creator Program? What would make your experience more valuable? Continued ability to build in VR, with codeblocks, as immersive building is so much more enjoyable than sitting at a computer to me. I also like being able to join others in headset and have build sessions. It is fun, engaging, and you can learn a lot from each other this way. It feels more like a community when you are building together vs everyone being on their computers most of the time. It is rare to meet people IRL that enjoy building for the metaverse. Being able to actually do this with others - in VR - was one of the reasons that I fell in love with VR in the first place.
- Where do you feel there are education gaps? What skills, tools, or resources do you need to improve as a creator? I think that tutorial worlds are helpful. I like to go at my own pace, dissect scripts, and learn how to adapt them to my needs. Back in 2021, there were tutorial worlds that allowed you to access the scripts so you could clone and dissect them and learn from them. Many of those scripts are long-since deprecated, and there really aren't any replacement tutorial worlds. Relying on YouTube can be challenging because people tend to move very quickly and the screenview of the scripting panel isn't always optimal. So you can't see the full script in front of you to digest, adapt, and learn from. You have to stop and replay 10 times to get something down. I think it would be great to have some scripting tutorial worlds with script templates for you to open, review, play with, etc (i.e., creating Quests and using the Quest Gizmo, Leaderboards, PPVs and world economies, and many others).
- What types of programming benefit you the most? Videos, works you can clone and dissect, workshops, mentorships, challenges / competitions, etc.
- Immersive Tutorial worlds (not just videos), and I think that it would be helpful to have a library of plug-and-play scripts for creators to bring into their worlds and adapt to their requirements. So many of us have to recreate the wheel time and time again when a lot of us are creating like scripts for certain things. While all scripts require some level of customization, I would think we could build a script library with templates that we can use to speed up our workflows, particularly for simpler scripts.
- NPC RIGGING! I don't mean just enabling NPCs to run/fall, but being able to have fully-rigged NPCs do various things and EMOTE!
- How can we better support you in creating worlds and experiences? What's working well, and what could be improved?
- I enjoy the continued addition of new tools and features, i.e., VFX and customizable clothing with AI for our avatars. I would love to see this taken a step further where we can create customized clothing as a prize for world achievements that players can use across the platform.
- Please fix the bug that causes FBS gizmo boxes to disappear. While some builders enjoy being on their computers, those of us who prefer to build in headset find this bug very frustrating and alarming when we are in the middle of building our scripts and the box goes poof.
