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.
Questions on Vertex Limits, Streaming, and World Size in Horizon Worlds
Hi, I’ve been reviewing the World Streaming documentation and had a few questions as we plan a larger-scale experience: Do level/subworld streaming systems raise the overall ceiling for vertices or triangles? Or are we still limited by the same global budget, even if the content is split into multiple sublevels? Can sublevels be dynamically loaded/unloaded based on each player's location or visibility? For example, if we track what each user can see or access, can we load only the levels relevant to them, instead of loading all sublevels globally for every player? Is there a maximum physical size for the world or any spatial boundaries we should be aware of? We're planning to divide our experience into distinct sections (e.g. themed areas) and teleport users between them. Each section would be its own sublevel. Would that approach work within Horizon’s spatial or performance constraints? Any guidance or best practices would be really helpful. Thanks!Advice request regarding Source SDK (used in 'Left for Dead' mapmaking) vs SDK (as used n Meta).
I need advice regarding SDK. Or if I'm going about this the wrong way, redirection & recommendations. I am decent at SourceSDK. Source SDK is used in making maps for videogames such as 'Left for Dead' ('L4D') and 'Left for Dead 2' ('L4D2'). Should I think of SDK used in/with Meta as similar to SDK as used in Source (and L4D2)? Or alternatively, am I barking up the wrong tree completely? Also, can I make 'Navigation Meshes' to be used in Augmented Reality with Meta? Also, do Meta glasses allow see thru vision with additional AR or must the player/consumer used the headset/goggles and thus the real world is not seen? Thx everyone. 'Appreciate it.Fractured (Party Games) Meta Mobile Competition Elevate Your Mobile World
We get another chance from the last competition.

Exploring the Milky Way in Horizon Worlds
I'm a galactic cartographer and a member of the European Space Agency's Gaia Mission Data Processing and Analysis Consortium. I've released two Horizon Worlds experiences in which players can fly starships around the galaxy. One is a treasure hunt game and the other is a galactic space port.

Find the Snowflake ❄️ 2D Mobile Game
Hi everyone, I wanted to share my latest project called: Find the Snowflake ❄️ This time I wanted to try something completely different than my other 3D worlds where you walk around and interact with the world and create a 2D Mobile only game. In "Find the Snowflake" the goal is to find the hidden object in each world before the time runs out. Each world consist of 30 levels and the difficulty increases as you progress. I've designed all the vector graphics in Inkscape and used primarily CustomUI gizmo's to create the game and display the images. It felt a bit weird making a flat 2D game with an advanced 3D editor made for high tech Virtual Reality worlds, but it was a fun project and good learning experiences. If it becomes popular I plan on adding free holiday and season themed world packs. Search on the Meta Horizon app for "Find the Snowflake" and give it a try, a like and if you have any questions let me know.Favorite nonviolent games?
For personal reasons I don't like shooters or indeed any game where the goal is to attack or kill anything, however cartoony. I realize that eliminates a large number of Horizon Worlds games, but of the remaining, what do you think are the most successful games? Looking for game inspiration.
