Let the begin!

Our next creator competition starts today in Horizon Worlds! This Physics Objects and Player Movement ( ) based competition will run through August 31 at 11:59 PM PT. Check out the details below, including info on the number of winners, special awards, and prizing structure (TL;DR - a total of up to $150,000* is up for grabs!).

Join this competition to showcase your skills by building a full world or game using at least one of the new interaction features: Physical hands, Weight Simulation of Held Objects, Player Movement Codeblocks.

Submission Requirements
Entries must be a world or game built within Horizon Worlds that utilizes at least one of the following interaction features as part of the central focus of the experience:

1. “Physical Hands,” which is a feature that allows players to push, tap, flip and punch in-world physics objects directly using their avatar hands by direct physical contact with virtual objects;
2. “Weight Simulation of Held Objects,” which is a feature that enables creation of heavy feeling objects which actually weigh down players’ hands and behave with realistic momentum when swung; or
3. Player movement code blocks, which enable the creation of custom scripted locomotion mechanics like flying or climbing using either animated “moveTo/moveBy” actions or physics based “setVelocity/addVelocity” actions

Entries must include at least one asset from the new set of recently released interactive assets which can be found in the ’Featured’ section of the Horizon Asset Library. These assets can be used as is with gameplay built around them (e.g. by adding objectives/scoring) or they can be edited to adjust behaviors (e.g. made bigger/smaller, changing physical properties) to better fit a world’s intended gameplay. They can also be completely remixed to have new and improved functionality added as long as at least one of these assets was used as the foundation that Entrant built the Asset out of, somewhere in the world:
1. Physics Interfaces (button, toggle, keypad, slider, wheel)
2. Punching Targets (punching bag, double end bag, reflex bag)
3. Buoyancy (water, toy boat)
4. Hitting Weapons (swords, hammers, flails)
5. Hitting Tools (hammer & nail, pickaxe and block, spatula and grill)
6. Hitting Sports (golf club, paddle, bat)
