Whats your problem?

Hey creator forum reader!

I’m doing some research and could use your help.

I make educational horizon creator content on YT, but before working on something new, I want to hear where people actually struggle, so I know I’m helping solve the right problems.

I’m looking to have 10 conversations with creators, specifically anyone who has dabbled as a world creator, but for whatever reason still hasn’t published their world. OR Anyone who HAS published, but is still yet to reach their 1st 1,000 visits.

Who am I: My name is Mitch. I’ve been working in the VR industry for nearly a decade, from Oculus sales floor rep to working with the dev team on Meta Workrooms (RIP). I love VR and have made a living in this industry trail-blazed by Meta. Even up to where we are now taking on mobile gaming!

Even though Meta Horizon Editor is still so early, I’ve already got a full years experience from fresh start to 1st world publish to 200,000+ impressions on my 1st world in 7 days.

I want to help those a few steps behind me navigate the creator labyrinth faster than I did.

If you fit the description above, or know anyone who does, please join my discord and I'll reach out: https://discord.gg/nRkM7bHCf9

If not then please disregard and best of luck on your creator journey 🎨 Godspeed.

  • Hi Mitch! I hope this post is still active because I genuinely think I'm one of the people you're looking to help.

     

    I have a published world called The Cosmic Cove (work in progress) — feel free to go check it out, my username is I_Am_Oracle. It went live before it was ready after I was misled by some inaccurate information I came across online, so right now it's missing everything that makes a world worth experiencing — ambience, music, teleportation, UI board, and all of my custom content. Visits are nowhere near 1,000, and I completely understand why.

     

    Here's where my head is at though — since primitive is on its way out, I'd love to use this as an opportunity to transform The Cosmic Cove into a Trimesh build rather than continue patching the old one. Same vision, better foundation, and a fresh start without the baggage.

     

    Scripting has been my biggest wall. I've tried to learn on my own and it's been exhausting without proper guidance. I'm a fast learner though — once I start seeing the patterns in how things work, I take off on my own. I just need someone to show me how, not do it for me.

     

    Thank you for what you're doing for this community — it means more than you know!

  • Just hopped on your server, thats pretty much exactly my situation, im a starting creator, also leaning into the education and serious games aspect. and i just created my youtube channel where i would make tutorials from perspective of someone who isnt yet a pro, so i could perhaps offer a more grounded approach, since the pro tutorials feel like theres a huge skillgap between me and the person doing the tutorial.
