Merge Foxes @ Fox Flats
*Updates every Monday* Merge Foxes is a fast-paced, mobile-first Move & Merge game. Players combine matching foxes to level up, earn in-game currency, unlock new fox types, and progress through timed rounds that increase in difficulty. The game features: Custom scripted UI leaderboard XP + money progression system Unlockable foxes with unique merge conditions Round-based challenges with increasing difficulty Risk/reward mechanics (fire tiles, combo streak bonuses, disco events, etc.) Built-in pause + directions for new players This project was built to deepen my understanding of mobile UI systems and TypeScript scripting. I remixed a base world to study structure, then rebuilt and expanded it with my own scripts, systems, and progression mechanics. Currently testing balance, UI margins, and merge difficulty scaling before full release. Feedback is welcome! https://horizon.meta.com/world/889073964004774/?hwsh=265wjPXOaT
Sugar Run UPDATE!
4 courses! 🍭 Make Sugar Run Great Again! Shoot yourself through cannons, fly through doughnuts, and bop your friends with giant lollipops. Jump in and see if you can make the sweetest run! I learned Typescript 6 months ago and completely redid the scripting to ensure it was my own; I also added a new course and I have NPC’s that will be added next week! Come get your best time! Updates will be weekly moving forward! Link: https://horizon.meta.com/world/546538218258352/?locale=en_USEU Meet up?
Hey, quick one for anyone EU based and feeling some GDC FOMO this week lol. The 1st weekend in April there’s a VR LAN event in Amsterdam which a close friend is running. I'll be speaking on stage about Meta horizon, and thought it would be a great excuse for an EU creator meet up! A couple MHCP partners have expressed interest so thought I would share here too. If you’re interested lmk and i'll sort you discounted tickets. http://vr-lan.com/ 3rd+4th April, Amsterdam, NL📱 March Mentor Programming to help you create mobile worlds that engage players
This March, our MHCP mentors are unveiling a slew of new live sessions tailored to help you create the best mobile experiences possible.

This session is perfect for creators looking to make the transition from CodeBlocks scripting to TypeScript. You already know how Worlds systems are built, and SeeingBlue shows you how to use that knowledge to tell the AI exactly what you need. 🔍 Feature Detective: Let's Investigate 🗓️ Date & Time: Tuesday, March 17 @ 5:00 PM PT & Tuesday, March 31 @ 5:00 PM PT Host: SeeingBlue, Ashes2Ashes2, and MKE_TheGuru Meet Feature Detective, our live collaborative learning sessions where mentors explore a feature/tool with you in real time.

Submit your world for a chance to have it playtested live and receive constructive community and mentor feedback to inform your next round of improvements.
Publishing error: You are attempting to publish a world with pre-release features.
Hi, I have a World and I want to participate in the Creator Competition: Elevate Your Mobile World. When I try to use new features—such as importing an FBX file or inserting assets with the new format—there is no problem in previewing the World. However, since my World was originally created in 2022, I receive the following error message when attempting to publish: "You are attempting to publish a world with pre-release features." It seems that new features are recognized as pre-release features in worlds with older original metadata or internal structure. Even if I delete all entities and scripts in the World except for the imported FBX or inserted asset, I still receive the same error when I try to publish it. On the other hand, if I create a brand-new World and import the same FBX file or insert the same asset, publishing works fine. Additionally, in my older World, I can't assign custom textures to shapes, and the Build > Shapes menu lacks newer items like Cube Beveled or 10 x 10 Plane. Since the competition requires updating a previously published World, what would you suggest? Can I recreate and update my World from scratch to avoid the publishing error? If I do that, the new World would not meet the requirement of being originally published before June 30, 2025. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
