Just made a few updates and bug fixes to Neon Universe worlds!

There was a minor bug preventing users from customizing their apartments that has now been resolved in Neon Oasis, but the big update is for Cyber Fight!

There have been three major changes:

-The queuing system has been revamped and simplified! Now simply walk up to an empty bay to join the fight!
-Audio update! Enjoy the voice of Mike The Guru - Horizon Worlds Creator commentating your fights alongside newly added fight music!
-Leaderboard for Total Wins!

Additionally I fixed the bug causing equipped outfits to remain invisible after fights.

There are a couple known issues that I want to fix before unlocking ranked play, but please check out the latest update and let me know if you find any bugs!

Check out Cyber Fight here:

ARE YOU READY? FIGHT! Cyber Fight is a two player brawler set above an abandoned metal refinery. Blocking your opponent's swings will charge up your next punch, but don't wait to use it! When you're not in the ring, watch from the sidelines, grab a BRAWWL from bar-bot, or take the lift up to the obs...

I just found out that I was mentioned as a case study at the CMX Summit for building communities in the Metaverse. It feels incredible to be mentioned among brilliant creators and community leaders like Metaverse Ang’l, OcuLos410 - Horizon Worlds, Flutt3r, and others.

I don't know that I spend enough time out of build mode to really consider myself as involved as everybody else on the list, but I do absolutely believe that the best content on Horizon will be born of collaboration.

My best worlds have been built working with others, so I just want to shout out some of the creators that I have worked most closely with and have helped me be the best me I can be!

Thank you to Omniparker in Horizon, Spacydoge, Mike The Guru - Horizon Worlds Creator, and MetaJorgen.

I cannot recommend any of these creators enough and it has been an incredible pleasure working with them all.

Check out the video below! My bit starts at 10:17 but I recommend giving the whole video a watch!

Wow, check out this insane promo vid Dolla Billa put together for the release! Can't wait to see you all there TOMORROW!!!

28/09/2022

Check out the official release trailer for Neon Universe! Big thanks to Elwoodent - Horizon Worlds Creator for putting together this incredible video! Open Beta begins for Neon Oasis, Cyber Fight, and Holocrypt Friday, September 30th- see you in the verse!

is the third world built for the project. Enjoy a casual party game where you hack into the verse and decrypt memories to earn creds! While you play, take in the beautiful environment SpaceyDoge and MetaJorgen have crafted. Explore the circuits to find easter eggs that will reveal more about the lore of the Neon Universe!

We're nearly there, come check out the , , and Holocrypt on Friday, September 30th!

26/09/2022

Surprise! The project is actually the project! On Friday I will be releasing not just the Neon Oasis world, but two additional worlds as well, both set in the Neon Universe.

Today I wanted to highlight , a fast paced 1v1 boxing match inside of an abandoned iron refinery! Dealing damage to your opponent makes them easier to knock around. Knock your opponent into a fence hard enough and it will break- making it easier to push them out of the ring!

Big shoutout to Mike The Guru - Horizon Worlds Creator who did a lot of the environmental scripting in this world. It has never felt so satisfying to jump into a vat of molten metal!

Stay tuned tomorrow for a sneak peak at our final world, !

22/09/2022

We have been working on the project for close to three months now. As much as I could tinker forever, I can't wait to share the Oasis with the (virtual) world when we go into open beta on September 30th!

19/09/2022

If you're familiar with the Cyberpunk Hovercraft world by SpaceyDoge and MetaJorgen, you undoubtably recognized their incredible art style in the pic I shared a few days ago. It has been incredible working with this dynamic duo bringing the to life!

Quick Thinking Arena is now live! The door can be found in Quick Thinking. Players must complete 5 rounds in Quick Thinking Arena and place in the top 8 on the leaderboard to be eligible to compete in the final showdown. Make sure to get in a lot of practice, there are no re-dos on your qualifiers!

24/06/2022

Announcing Quick Thinking’s first tournament! Get your thinking cap on for a chance to win your piece of a $500 prize pool! On June 25th a door will be placed in the original Quick Thinking to the Quick Thinking Arena. Qualifiers will be open for two weeks. Do your best to place in the top 8 and make it to the final showdown!

Quick Thinking is a party game in which players must use logic to deduce the correct pattern before their friends. The game is easy to learn but difficult to master. You’ll have to think quickly to solve the puzzle- the fastest time wins! Practice getting your time down in Quick Thinking before taking on the arena, every second counts!

Players will be limited to only 5 rounds when playing in QT Arena. Once you have played all five rounds, your average time will be placed on the tournament leaderboard and you will no longer be able to play additional rounds in QT Arena. The arena will only be published for 2 weeks and will be accessible via the original Quick Thinking world.

At the end of the 2 week period, the players with the top 8 fastest average times in QT Arena will be eligible to participate in the final showdown. The final showdown will consist of 3 back to back rounds of quick thinking. The average completion time of these three games will constitute a player’s final score. The player with the fastest time will win a unique in-game item for Quick Thinking to commemorate their win in addition to their prize money!

The 8 players with the fastest average times at the end of the open qualifiers will be contacted by Habitor to coordinate participating in the final showdown the following weekend (July 17th/18th).

Prizes (USD):
1st: $300
2nd: $150
3rd: $50

The original Quick Thinking will continue to operate as normal for the duration of the contest. Make sure to practice before you compete to ensure the highest chance of victory!

If you have been to BeeLinedSided you may have seen the English/Spanish toggle option next to the instructions. This language preference is per player, which means that two users can be reading the same text in two different languages! Your preference is also saved between visits.

I have since rewritten the script to make it extremely user friendly. 0 scripting is needed to implement this feature in your worlds, just a little configuration! The instructions are written in the comments of the script itself but here is the short version:

-For this script to work you will need to set up a player persistent variable called "langPref"
-This is not an auto-translation script. You will have to type in the default and alternate language versions of the text by going into the properties panel of the grouped text block and filling out the "lang0" and "lang1" variables.
-Copy/paste the grouped text block for however many text objects you need and that's it!

If you would like a copy of this asset please reach out to either myself or Doc JC Futuro. We will get this to you as quickly as possible, please expedite the process by adding one or both of us to a blank world with as an editor. Bonus points if it is labeled in such a way we know it's for the language script.

This script is free to use and while appreciated, it is not necessary to credit me when using this in world. Distributing this script is encouraged. I do ask that you leave the comments in the script and credit me with its creation when you do so.

Huge thanks to Doc JC for helping me to distribute this and also thank you to for your advice on improving usability!

Check out a demo of the script in action below:

This script asset allows creators to make their worlds multi-lingual. For access to this asset please reach out to Habitor_Vr on facebook or instagram.

Quick Thinking is out of beta! Join me tomorrow at between 4-8pm EST and check it out!

From the event description:

Are you smarter than your friends? Easy to learn, difficult to master, Quick Thinking is a puzzle party game by SpringJam2022 winner Habitor. Earn in-game rewards the more you play and think quick to rise to the top of the leaderboards! Habitor will be playing all afternoon, can you beat him and obtain the coveted "At His Own Game" achievement?

08/06/2022

With all planned features nearing completion, Quick Thinking will be coming out of beta at the end of this weekend! This means there are less than 5 days to earn the beta reward!

Patch Notes:

-Added "Exp" button allowing players to check their total Exp.
-Added backup to button reset to prevent buttons from floating off
-Updated UFO reward with dynamic lighting tractor beam
-Added 3 new rewards
-Added a TON of achievements, including an achievement for every earnable reward (excluding the beta reward). This allows players to see pictures of what they are able to unlock!

Thank you everyone who has played Quick Thinking so far and I really appreciate all the feedback! As we near the full release, I would love to hear if there is anything else the people feel is missing from Quick Thinking. If you've made it this far into the post, I would be incredibly grateful if you would take a couple of minutes to share your thoughts on these questions:

1. Are there any features you would like to see added?

2. Are there any features you would like to see expanded on?

3. What types of rewards would you like to see more of?

07/06/2022

ACHIEVEMENTS!!!

Super excited by the new achievements gizmo! It was super intuitive to set up. I was able to get these three added to Quick Thinking for testing in minutes! (and they even worked on the first try 🤯)

More to come for sure, what sort of achievements do people want to see?

Big update for Quick Thinking!

(Patch notes at the bottom)

Thank you to everyone who has been playing the beta! I have been blown away by the support and really appreciate the bug reports and feedback that I've gotten so far.

I am pleased to announce that I have resolved the bug that was causing issues with game reset! Everything seems to be stable now and will consistently reset for all players. As far as I am aware this was the last of the bugs (though I may have missed one 🐝) and we are well on our way to the full release.

Those of you who have been playing will have noticed that I have vastly expanded the available rewards and have changed the reward structure so that prizes are earned at every 500 points rather than 1000. I've been playing quite a bit this last week and 1000 felt like a little too much. Everyone who has earned at least 500 exp automatically has unlocked the first level reward- one of the friendly bees from BeeLinedSided!

I have also introduced an in world purchase allowing players to purchase exp. All purchases help to bring me one step closer to creating content for the Horizon community full time. All reward content in Quick Thinking can and always will be unlockable through gameplay.

I am expecting the beta period to last another week while I continue to expand the available rewards and make QoL additions. This is your LAST CHANCE to unlock the secret beta reward. Once Quick Thinking has been fully released this reward will only be available to players who reached 1000 exp during the beta period.

Again, thank you everyone who has been playing for hanging in there while I fixed the bugs. If you see any unusual behavior in the future please do not hesitate to reach out!

Patch Notes:

-Fixed bug causing cube colors to double up
-Fixed unsolvable puzzle bug
-Adjusted reward structure to grant new rewards at 500exp rather than 1000exp
-Added 11 new rewards including wearables
-Introduced the exp boost IWP, grants 500exp per purchase

Upcoming Features:

-Adding a quit button to allow players to resign from a game early
-Adding (at least) 3 additional rewards
-Adding a button allowing players to easily check their current exp

It was absolutely surreal to receive the news that BeeLinedSided was the 1st place winner of . Over the past month Omniparker in Horizon and I have kind of been avoiding BeeLinedSided. Don’t get me wrong, we were super happy with what we created. Not being able to edit after the submission date is what made it difficult to spend time in the world. It’s impossible for us to visit BeeLinedSided without coming up with a dozen new minor (and major) improvements we wanted to make.

Anyone who submitted an entry will agree that compared to waiting for the results, building the world was easy. I love the flyswatter scoreboard, the “NPB”s (non-player bees), exploring the hive, etc. That said, I think it’s fair to say that I’m a little biased 😅. After the deadline, I spent a lot of time tempering my expectations by visiting other Spring Jam worlds. Part of what makes taking first feel so un(bee)lievable is the incredible quality of the worlds put out there by my fellow creators. While it is an honor to win, it is even more so to be a part of this community.

Big thank you to PigeonNo12 for her help recording and to The-Bake, who still holds high score, for his relentless playtesting.

To keep up with our current and future projects, follow Omniparker in Horizon and Habitor VR on Facebook.

Beta for my new game, "Quick Thinking", is here! Use your wits to solve the puzzle faster than anyone else to win! I am in the process of developing and implementing a reward system for the full release. Until then, any players who reach 1000exp before the beta period ends will receive an *exclusive reward*. This reward will *not* be available once beta is over. Please use that feedback button if you have any suggestions or find any bugs!

My best time so far is 40 seconds, anyone think they can do better?

Are you smarter than your friends? Work quickly to find the correct pattern and seize victory!

It's been a productive couple of days! Ironing out a few minor items but I am hopeful for a beta release this evening followed by a full release this weekend! Keep an eye out for "Quick Thinking"!

25/05/2022

When I was creating The Dungeon: No Escape, the puzzle I had the most fun designing was the "talking head" puzzle. I always thought it would be fun as a stand alone game, but I never took the time to work on it. Over the last few days I've gone back and completely rewritten my original script and built a competitive minigame around it that I am super excited to share! Keep an eye out over the next week for sneak peeks as I finish my new world, "Quick Thinking!"

23/05/2022

I feel extremely honored that BeeLinedSided has been featured this week! Those of you who visited last week may have experienced some issues due to the trigger detection bug (no pun intended). This has since been resolved by the incredible Horizon team and everything is working properly once more, check it out!

09/05/2022

Just published a QoL update to The Dungeon: No Escape! If you are a fan of escape rooms and puzzle games I encourage you to check it out if you haven't already!

Changes:

-Added additional lighting around crystals
-Fixed audio bug causing sfx at the end to go off repeatedly

Working on episode 2 of my escape room series for Vidyuu, here's a sneak peak! This episode will introduce basic scripting concepts using what I call "One Step Scripting." Then, we will apply what we've learned to elevate what we built in the first episode both functionally and aesthetically! Can't wait until it's finished!

Hi everyone! Last night I finally submitted BeeLinedSided for . BeeLinedSided was created in partnership with OmniParker. I cannot express enough how awesome it was working with Omni on this project. He is an un-bee-lievalby kind and talented individual. BeeLinedSided is a true collaboration piece, and I am so happy to present our shared vision to the community. I would also like to thank everyone who play tested and provided feedback during the development process. We will bee hosting an “official” release event this evening from 9pm-11pmEST. You can find the event via the "attend" tab in your menu. Swing on by and check out BeeLinedSided!

Collect pollen to score points but bee on the lookout! Bees can only see a limited number of birds and will have to rely on their fellow bees to warn them of danger. Everyone gains points faster the more bees remaining, so work together to provide for the hive!
