We, a team of several MHCP members, have been working on our world for several weeks. Is it eligible or do we have to create something brand new as of March 11, 2025.
We use outside tools for asset conversion for assets we legally purchased and imported into Horizon Worlds using the MHCP world 3D model import feature. Are these assets qualified to be used in this competition?
The rules are pretty specific, so I want to make sure we do not get disqualified by entering our world project if the two above questions will be a problem.
Thank you.
Mike
The official rules require a world to be newly published on Horizon. Please note that all the other entry requirements still apply, including that the world is original to the entrant. FAQs have been updated here: https://mhcp-mobile-genre-competition.devpost.com/details/faq
So I jumped the gun and need to start over.
Please see my other message about SOUND.
But can the world have been worked on BEFORE the contest start date if it was never published?
Or can you publicly talk about your world, showing pictures and ideas before publishing?
I was planning on doing a detailed Journaling on YouTube and other social media, while my contest entry is being created.
Can I take the assets I used in the world I published and incorporate them into a new unpublished world that has the same name and still be eligible?
From the official rules.
Be newly published by the Entrant, publicly viewable by any user of Meta Horizon Worlds during the duration of the competition and not have been previously entered into any other challenge, sweepstakes, promotion, or competition. However, an Entry may use assets or code from Entrant’s existing Meta Horizon worlds, or from tutorials or examples provided to Entrant by Sponsor.
