Our goal is to make it simple to publish rich experiences to VIVERSE. These tools help our creator community build more advanced 3D experiences, including multiplayer games, and utilize the account and avatar system to give users a more seamless experience when hopping from world to world in VIVERSE.
While we do not require developers use these tools — and while we also make it possible for developers to include their own servers/databases/external APIs in VIVERSE projects — we highly recommend that all creators familiarize themselves with these offerings and consider integrating the VIVERSE account & avatar system into their projects. It makes the experience better for our users and many of these services are available for free!
[Beta]
Get a user's account information when they join your experience on VIVERSE. This will allow you to access their display name, avatar information, and account information, making it easier for end-users to travel between VIVERSE experiences while staying connected to their identity and friends.
Free!
[Beta]
Download and use a user's avatar file in your VIVERSE experience. Digital identity is an important consideration in 3D and including end-users' avatars makes them feel more at home in your VIVERSE World.
Free!
[Beta]
Access and save information about players interacting with your world. Keep track of high scores to boost engagement with your player base.
Free!
[Beta]
Save and network game-state between clients in your VIVERSE world. Use this SDK to build richer multiplayer experiences.
Free!
While the above services are available for free to our developers to use, we frequently allow developers to include their own, externally hosted services in their VIVERSE creations. If you have an API endpoint, database, or hosted gameserver that you would like to access in VIVERSE, please email michael_morran@htc.com and james_kane@htc.com OR join our and message us with more information about the nature of your service and the URL you would like whitelisted!
