How to Get Started in Game Development for VIVERSE
If you've ever dreamed of creating immersive 3D experiences, now is the time to jump in. VIVERSE is a WebXR platform that makes worldbuilding accessible to anyone—whether you're a developer, a designer, or just curious about digital creation. Unlike traditional platforms tied to a specific engine, VIVERSE is open. That means you can use Unity, Godot, PlayCanvas, Three.js, or any WebXR-compatible engine to bring your virtual experiences to life.
This guide is here to show you how easy it is to get started, highlight your options, and inspire you to build your first interactive world.
What Is VIVERSE?
VIVERSE is a browser-based WebXR platform that allows you to create, share, and explore immersive worlds. It’s built for accessibility, creativity, and performance. No expensive VR setup needed. If your content runs in a browser, it can run in VIVERSE.
You can:
-
Export your 3D environment as a WebGL build and upload it to VIVERSE.
-
Make your content accessible on desktop, mobile, and XR devices.
-
Use VIVERSE Create (a no-code editor) to design experiences with zero dev skills.
It’s a playground for creatives. And it doesn’t lock you in.
Choose Your Development Tool
Whether you're a solo indie developer or part of a creative studio, VIVERSE supports your workflow. Here's how each engine fits:
Unity
-
Ideal for full-featured games and apps.
-
Supports WebGL export, which runs smoothly on VIVERSE.
-
Large asset library and community.
Godot
-
Open-source, lightweight, and WebXR-ready.
-
GDScript makes scripting easy to pick up.
-
HTML5 export for VIVERSE compatibility.
PlayCanvas
-
Built for the web from the ground up.
-
Real-time collaboration in the browser.
-
Great for rapid prototyping and publishing.
Three.js
-
If you're a JavaScript developer, this is your canvas.
-
Create lightweight, efficient 3D scenes.
-
Full control over rendering and interactivity.
You’re not limited. Use whatever works for your skillset, timeline, or idea.
How to Build and Share in VIVERSE
-
Build Your World
Design your experience using any of the supported engines. Export it as a WebGL/WebXR-compatible project.
-
Publish Online
Host your project (Netlify, Vercel, custom domain, etc.). Then use VIVERSE to link to your live world.
-
Drop It Into VIVERSE
Use VIVERSE Create to embed, decorate, and connect your content to the wider ecosystem. No coding needed.
-
Share with the World
Your link works on any device. It’s that simple.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time
Web-based 3D and XR content is growing fast. People are using browsers as portals into entire worlds. VIVERSE gives you the tools to:
-
Build for the open web without barriers.
-
Reach audiences instantly with zero install friction.
-
Explore new creative formats: social games, interactive art, virtual showrooms, learning spaces.
And because you’re working in WebXR, your content isn’t trapped inside one platform.
Tips to Inspire Your First Creation
-
Start with a single scene. A small virtual room, art gallery, or floating island.
-
Use free assets from Sketchfab, Unity Asset Store, or Kenney.nl.
-
Mix no-code tools like VIVERSE Create with custom engine builds.
-
Add interactivity: portals, sounds, physics.
-
Invite a few friends in. Test and refine.
The barrier to entry is gone. All that’s left is your imagination.
Creating your own 3D world used to mean learning complex code, working with limited platforms, and dealing with performance headaches. Not anymore. VIVERSE opens the door to fast, simple, and powerful worldbuilding for anyone.
So choose your engine. Try something small. And build something that only you could imagine.
