🎥On-Demand Videos: Mobile Game Design from Andy Sargent - Meta Game Developer
In this series of videos by Andy Sargent, Game Developer and Community Manager in Unit 2 Games at Meta, explore how mechanics, loops, and progression combine to create fulfilling and social worlds that players will love. Session 1 - Mobile Mechanics Explore how mechanics are a fundamental building block for virtual worlds. Mechanics empower players to interact with the world, and each other. You can think of these as player actions second-to-second. Session 2 - Core Loops Investigate core loops, which build on top of our understanding of mechanics. They are a combination of mechanics that support a repeated sequence of player actions in the world. You can think of these as player actions minute-to-minute. Session 3 - Retention Look at ways to encourage players to come back to our worlds using retention mechanics. You can think of these as player actions day-to-day.

LZR[X] - Beta (Rocket League-like)
Hi all, I am building my first game, LZR[X} (pronounced LaserCrosse) on MHW and getting to grips with TypeScript, the API and development platform. Really loving it and the constraints that come with it (even the materials process) I am working towards an MVP and hoping to scale up to something akin to Rocket League. The premise is ice-hockey meets pinball with lasers in a Tron-like setting. The frame rate is being tested and the physics need some polish but it's up to a point where I am happy with making it public. I'd love some feedback. There's lot's to work on, but it's very much a project I'm keen to keep refining and growing. So very early days right now. You can check it out in the link below and hopefully I'll have some time to get some footage and screenshots together when I can round up some mates to help out. https://horizon.meta.com/world/1943738609728861/ or join the current event https://horizon.meta.com/event/24349525768011323/ If you want to keep in touch on LinkedIn, feel free to send me a connect request https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-graham-7614bb82/
In-World Purchase (IWPSeller) Gizmo question
I have been experimenting with the in world shop gizmo with the commerce mechanics. While the World shop itself works fine, I'm confused about the IWPSeller gizmo. When putting the IWPSeller gizmo into my world and configuring it to a single item and setting it as a trigger/button. I get this menu pop-up when triggering the interaction with the IWPSeller: I don't see any options to purchase the single item in-world and it just tells me to load it on a VR headset. Is this intentions? Are we only supposed to use this Gizmo for VR worlds? Note: I am testing this within the Horizon World Desktop editor.
