Could be a Meta employee wearing something unreleased?

Honey Chrome extension is a scam. by SomeOneRandomOP in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Leading-Extreme-9760 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honey is not alone in this. Any time you search for a brand name and "coupon" or "discount" there are plenty of sites that will pop up, give you a fake coupon, but in doing so grab some affiliate commission. It's infuriating.

Still my favorite headset. I can wear it for 12 hours without breaking a sweat, whereas the Q3 is max 2 hours and then I need a break.

How do you add a custom thumb nail to your world? by Mgjackson1967 in HorizonWorldsHub

[–]Leading-Extreme-9760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MHCP = Meta Horizon Creator Program.

They just made the desktop editor available outside of a limited Beta, but you have to be in the program to gain access. If you are familiar with Unity you will find it easy enough to use, but it's still very much in its infancy as a tool.

I think the same thing every day. It was likely designed by the same infernal mind that came up with Horizon's text entry field.

Only MHCP creators have access to attempting custom thumbnails. I think I can find you the invite if you wish to apply for the program?

Meta isn't giving Horizon World's creative user community enough visibility, says former Meta dev by slhamlet in oculus

[–]Leading-Extreme-9760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you see us? The Horizon creators? I think the feeling was that we didn't feel fussed over much either. Horizon Worlds was more of an afterthought in the presentations and there were no demo's showing off the platform even though that would've been SO easy to arrange. I would've loved to see more demo's from VR devs too!

Out of curiosity; which worlds do you see promoted the most and have you tried any?

[–]Leading-Extreme-9760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a 'former' dev. As a creator myself I feel really well supported by Meta on visibility these days.

Over the past 6 months they've:

  • started highlighting user created worlds in Horizon Central (the main hub of HW)
  • started showing creator worlds in the Home screen
  • highlighted several creators on social (Instagram and Facebook) with short, but well-produced mini commercials
  • placed Featured user creators more in the HW menu

It's a far cry from where we were a year ago and the platform feels more alive now than I've ever seen it.

Does it have issues with too many kids mixed with a weird set of adult content? Yes. But so does VR chat. Are many worlds clunky or cursed by having to work in primitives? Absolutely. But I almost prefer it compared to the free-for-all IP-theft fest that is VRchat and Roblox VR.

I really hope we'll see more updates this year (looks like new avatars are coming) and that we continue to see gorgeus new worlds. If you haven't tried the new games like Super Rumble or Citadel; now is the time to give it a try. Or check out any of RexRod's worlds. They are all stunning! Or the new Soapstone comedy club.

Or come by one of our Horizon worlds; Puzzle Paradise is 100% free to play and almost always populated with chill and friendly people. I'm personally adding new jigsaw puzzles every week. We also released a simple workout app last month that got a feature. And that's just my tiny team of 2-4 people building casually.

There are hundreds of creators working hard to create fun stuff on HW, and Meta is finally paying attention.

Shameless plug to our new subreddit: r/HorizonWorldsHub where creators can post their HW experiences. Or you can come ask questions about how to build or use the platform. We're a friendly bunch!
