Taiwanese tech firm HTC has launched a new “no-code” world and game building experience for its “Viverse” metaverse. 

Dubbed “Viverse Create,” the new application allows users to create massively multiplayer experiences within the Viverse metaverse that function across compatible devices. This allows creators to build and share on their platform of choice — virtual reality, mobile, PC, or Mac.

HTC’s metaverse

HTC was among the early wave of modern virtual reality hardware manufacturers. Its series of “Vive” headsets are among the most well-reviewed VR units aimed at consumers. The company’s “Viveport” VR experience was also one of the earliest attempts at a unified metaverse application among mainstream developers.

Viverse Create extends the company’s endeavors into the creator and influencer spaces. Based on early demonstrations, the creation suite features fairly robust tools compared to similar no-code world development tools in the VR space.

While it’s unlikely anyone will use the application to develop a AAA Web3 experience, Viverse Create could serve as a means to bridge the gap between professional developers and those looking to dip their toes into the realm of creating virtual worlds.

It’s also been designed to make it as simple as possible for creators to share their experience. Games and spaces can be viewed on VR headsets, mobile devices and computers. According to HTC, they require no installation and are accessible via a single, secure link.

In a statement to GamesBeat, Andranik Aslanyan, head of growth at HTC Viverse, emphasized the ease-of-use and cross platform capabilities of the system:

“Gone are the days of keeping your creations locked in your own virtual world. With Viverse Create, we’re giving creators the tools to create any world and share it with their friends, parents – even their grandparents – to experience with one simple, secure, joinable link.”

Aslanyan added that “the metaverse isn’t dead; it’s just waiting for the rest of us to catch up.”
