Custom content is incredibly important for all Horizon Worlds creators. When a brand has a logo to bring in, it has to be easier to import. For instance, Merc has redesigned several logos, bringing them to life in Horizon, unfortunately this requires a large number of objects . . . which can create lag.

As a photographer and world traveler, I would love to create a studio to showcase some of my photography. But it goes far beyond this, Blue Wave should have had the ability to premier their Horizon Worlds movie in Horizon Worlds. Musicians should be allowed to create their own storefront with samples to promote their work. Video tutorials should be available in asset worlds to help users learn.

I’d even argue that musicians should be able to bring full length songs into worlds, whether it be background music, or to pretend to play in sync with a live audience. Imagine a singer lip syncing with whisper voice settings, or a drummer with a model of their real life drums. We even built a keyboard for our live show, that is a model of our pianist’s real one.

One concern I had originally was that we might see ugly worlds. Worlds where people abused these options for custom content. This fear dissipated when a friend of mine reminded me that, nobody wants to go to an ugly world. In other words, the popularity of worlds, will self regulate. Though I would recommend options for content reporting, and automatic flagging of copyrighted music.

Custom Content to Consider:
● Logos ● Photos ● Music
● Text ● Videos ● Sound Effects

Logos will allow for low impact, high resolution branding. Photos will enable artist creativity, showcasing, and even walls of our favorite VR selfies. Videos will enable everything from Horizon movie premieres, to greater VR learning. Music and sound effects can enable more customization, and even level up production quality for live shows, performances, movie recordings, or even making music videos. And text will enable us to bring our scripts into VR so we can easily read, rather than presently lifting up our headsets which can ruin audio quality and even cause video to stop recording.

We need more simultaneous world editors, 4 is way too limiting.

In the past couple years the maximum number of players in a world has grown from 8, to 12, then 20, and now 32. That is a 4x increase! But the number of simultaneous creators in build mode has stayed at 4.

This number needs to immediately double, and in the long run I suggest it be tied to the world player capacity limit. Perhaps in the early stages it can even be an experimental feature or something you have to enable in the world settings.

As a teacher in Horizon, it is extremely disheartening to be limited to class sizes of 3. Especially when consider attrition across multi-part educational series.

But beyond education, today we were testing our world, and had to publish to see all 6 people on stage at the same time. Would have been nice to invite a few extra testers before publishing.

Creator’s Personal / World Folders (Filing System)

It would be beneficial for world builders to have personal folders as a filing system for their worlds. E.G. There are 10-20 mechanics that I have built along with 20+ tinkering worlds to learn the functionality of code blocks. When this is added to published, non published, worlds in progress, the navigation takes a long-time to find the right world (including the search option when used). It would be beneficial to have a folder system to manage with respective mechanics;, tinkering (code blocks); work in progress (WIP) worlds organized as we produce more content moving forward. Thank you for your consideration with this.

Some primitives would benefit from having the option to halve and quarter when building eg: Half and quarter Hexagon or half semi circle. This would vastly expand the scope of what can be built using these sorts of objects without increasing the draw call. Currently, to make more complex shapes in Horizon Worlds, many primitives need to be carefully aligned then overlapped, which in turn makes a lot of wasted geometry hidden within a grouped object. If fractional increments of an object such as halves and quarters was a feature, then fewer objects would require overlapping, and some Z-buffering would be eliminated altogether. To me, this would be a more efficient use of primitives.

One huge thing is there needs to be a SHORTER range for how close to a door you have to be before it "makes sound" ... the ability to set that range custom, and the ability to turn that off would be nice.... I'm making a world and it's unbelievable how FAR AWAY I have to put them just so I don't feel bombarded while exploring... I'm hearing multiple doors when I'm in another area, I tired making up and downstairs, and STILL way to close...

It would be nice to move around that info box that pops up too, I can't put doors next to each other without that clipping. (I'm creating a tavern/meeting hall for people to meet up and play my games (it's a medieval raid/quest theme), so doors working well and looking nice is a big part of this meet-up world. (Also to keep from putting doors in my other games, because frankly they are an eye/ear sore... they feel like an intrusive advertisement and I just want the players to feel like they are an awesome portal to an adventure!)

So please please please, let us customize these settings to doors!!!

Game modes seem to be largely focussed on shooting, which is fine, a lot of people like that. There's a fair amount of potential for games where objects such as coins, rings, orbs, eggs etc could also be implemented in a more platformer orientated framework. Avatars can run and jump, so why not add this type of game style into the mix? It would also be useful for world builders to leave objects which can be collected, such as visitor trophies. If you visit one of my worlds and I leave a gift for your visit, it would be a nice touch to have something collectable for visitors to have the option to use in their own apartments or spaces. Just a thought.
