Exciting Times Ahead for 3D Environment Creation At Procedural Worlds, we've been leaders in 3D open world creation and optimization on Unity for over a decade, serving 150k customers including NASA, BMW, Google, and studios from indie to AAA. I'm excited to give you another glimpse into Storm, our revolutionary new tech. This sneak peek video explores two particularly unique feature set modules on our short-term roadmap: User Generated Content (UGC) and Life. The UGC module allows players to actively build and shape the game world, collaborate on large-scale projects such as towns and racetracks, and foster community, creativity, and a strong sense of place. This runtime tooling can also facilitate new RTS mechanics, such as constructing strategic bases or resource production facilities that dynamically affect gameplay. In persistent worlds, player creations can permanently alter the landscape, adding a new layer of strategy and extending the life and engagement of your game. The Life module simulates the entire vegetation lifecycle, from seed to maturity, capturing the dynamic nature of plants across varying time scales, from short-term seasonal changes to long-term growth cycles. This not only enhances immersion but also enables unique game mechanics around resource management, land management, and even agriculture. Imagine returning to a game world that has evolved over time, shaped by your decisions and vision. As one of our clients put it, using Storm "feels like cheating." It's like dropping a high-performance Ferrari engine into your game chassis. This turnkey 3D environment system, tuned to your unique requirements, empowers you to focus on building out the rest of your game around a powerful, optimized core. Storm enables you to push the limits of your creativity, quickly and efficiently crafting expansive, detailed environments beyond what you ever dreamed was achievable, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience for your players. We're excited to be at the forefront of this innovation, and with advisors like Charles Huang (creator of Guitar Hero) and Jeff Collins (ex-Unity Head of Gaming Services) on board, we're poised to make a big impact. If you're looking to create vast, rich, persistent 3D worlds that push the boundaries of what's possible, let's talk. Storm might be just the solution you need. #3Denvironments #procedural #Unity #web3 #metaverse #gaming #gamedev

Some sneak peek demo material of Storm, the revolutionary new tooling and infrastructure solution for Metaverse and massive 3D worlds on Unity: • Stream, accelerate performance, and vastly increase the scale and graphic capabilities of 3D worlds • Slash development costs with integrated tooling to efficiently create 3D worlds in a fraction of the time • Exciting new possibilities with runtime control for both rendering and user-generated content creation In this video, we've collated just a small fraction of the many features & capabilities of Storm, including runtime instantiation & control (Storm running in an application 'wrapper'), vast view distances and the ingestion of real world geospatial data. There's lots more to Storm to unpack, with innovative efficiencies and performance increases across the following modules: • TERRAIN: Unity terrain replacement, fast, massive scale, AAA quality • BIOMES: Efficient & rich procedural vegetation, rocks & details • UGC: Runtime tooling to make user-generated content building systems • LIFE: Runtime tooling to make living eco-systems • BUILDINGS: Procedural buildings with usable interiors • CITIES: Procedural cities, towns & villages • DUNGEONS: Procedural underground structures, dungeons & caves • RIVERS & LAKES: Procedural water systems with runoff, rivers & lakes • ROADS & RAILS: Procedural road & rail networks with complex elements • GEOSPATIAL: Real-world geospatial data ingestion Expect many more video reveals as we start to poke our heads up from pure development and begin to focus on showcasing what it can really do!

Big news! Meta has just announced that they're opening up Meta Horizon OS, the operating system powering Quest, to allow others to design more headsets using their ecosystem. Lenovo, Microsoft, and ASUS are among Meta's initial partners. This move could spark a new wave of headsets focused on productivity, entertainment, gaming, exercise and more.
