Our project, Remix City, was inspired by our personal journey as a husband-and-wife team who love building things together. We recently got married in an industrial warehouse, and we wanted to bring that same industrial-chic aesthetic into a virtual space. We layered this with our love for Bossa Nova and jazz, aiming for a surreal, nostalgic, and groovy disco vibe that feels both unique and welcoming.
Remix City is the ultimate asset library. It's a space where builders can test and explore assets through fun, interactive elements like flying go-karts and hidden prototype guns. The entire world is a remixable blueprint, providing the essential tools and components for new creators to fast-track their own projects.
Our workflow extended beyond the Horizon Worlds desktop editor. We utilized professional 3D design tools like Blender and SketchUp to create detailed geometry. We also experimented with MCP servers and AI agents to generate unique shapes and models that were then imported into the world. This approach allowed us to create a world that is not only visually distinct but also built with a modular, scalable foundation.
As native software developers, our biggest challenge was transitioning to a completely new workflow. We are used to coding in a 2D environment, and learning to properly scale and manage entities in a 3D VR space was a significant undertaking. It took several weeks to get comfortable with the editor and establish a consistent, efficient process. However, overcoming these challenges made us proud of the final product and our ability to learn and adapt.
Simply getting a working world built in Horizon Worlds is a huge accomplishment for us, especially as newcomers to the platform. We are incredibly proud of what we've learned and created. We believe this world will be genuinely useful for many new developers, and we hope it inspires others to get started on their own building journeys.
This was our first time building anything in VR, so the learning curve was steep. We discovered the importance of creating a cohesive and consistent visual theme from the outset. We also learned how to integrate professional 3D tools like Blender and SketchUp into our workflow, and, most importantly, we learned to leverage Meta's GenAI tools to accelerate development. We used AI to create unique skies and assets, and to generate scripts for advanced features like our flying go-karts. This experience taught us that AI can be a powerful tool for rapid prototyping and asset creation.
We see Remix City as a living project. We have already launched a dedicated website with a feedback board where the community can contribute ideas and assets. This world was built with the future in mind; it's designed to be a growing library of assets that new developers and builders can continuously leverage.
Remix City represents the future of VR creation - a world where builders can test, experience, and remix assets in real-time. We believe in lowering the barrier to entry for new creators while providing professional-grade tools and resources for experienced developers.
As a living project with a dedicated community feedback system, Remix City continuously evolves based on creator needs, ensuring it remains a valuable resource for the Horizon Worlds community.
