🌟 Creative Revolution: 🆓 FREE WORLDs, 💻 C# Scripting & 🏆 Monthly Creator Competition💵

5 min readJan 13, 2025

Hi, creators! 👋

We know how much effort, creativity, and passion you put into building virtual worlds. And we also know how often creators don’t get the recognition or rewards they truly deserve. At Somnium Space, we’re determined to change that.

We are revolutionizing Creators Tools & Economy in Somnium Space

Over the past five years, creators on our platform have earned more than 600,000$ and we want you to earn even more. That’s why we’ve designed a transparent and creator-first economy.

We take only an average of 5% commission — one of the lowest among similar platforms — so 95% of what you earn goes straight to you. Plus, while our system has historically been blockchain-powered, we’re soon introducing a fiat currency option to make transactions even easier.

Now, we’re excited to announce major updates to Somnium Space that make creating and thriving on our platform better than ever.

🚀 Free Worlds for Everyone

We believe creativity thrives when there’s a fair balance between freedom and opportunity. That’s why every user now gets one FREE 100MB WORLD to start building.

Why the limit? Because we’re committed to creating a sustainable long-term economy that works for everyone — creators, users, and the platform. By starting with one WORLD per creator and a manageable size, we can ensure:

1️⃣ Fair access: Everyone has the same opportunity to create and showcase their vision.

2️⃣ Quality and sustainability: Resources are used wisely, keeping the platform balanced and efficient.

3️⃣ Room for growth: Talented creators can apply for an upgrade to 300MB for free, and those with larger ambitions can choose from our paid WORLDs designed for expansive projects:

Small WORLDs: 150MB
Medium WORLDs: 400MB
Large WORLDs: 1000MB

This system allows us to reward outstanding creativity while giving every creator the chance to shine. By giving every user access to a free WORLD and rewarding outstanding creativity, we’re fostering an environment where innovation and excellence can thrive. 🌌

Every user now receives a **FREE 100MB WORLD** to unleash their imagination with a possibility to increase to **300 MB** by Somnium Team for most talented Creators. Paid WORLDs up to 1000 MB are avaialble as well.

Fully Unlocked C# Scripting 🪛

At Somnium Space, we are committed to giving creators the tools they need to fully realize their visions in virtual reality. That’s why we’ve fully unlocked C# scripting — a powerful, versatile feature tailored for Unity developers working within our VR platform.

C# scripting is at the core of Unity’s development framework and provides an unparalleled level of control and flexibility for VR creators. With this capability now unlocked in Somnium Space, creators can:

1. Build Complex Game Mechanics

C# scripting allows developers to go beyond static environments, enabling the creation of dynamic, interactive game elements. From physics-based interactions to complex AI behaviors, you can design systems that respond intelligently to user input, making your WORLDs feel truly alive.

2. Create Unique Interactive Systems

With full scripting support, you can implement custom features such as:

Interactive UI elements: Design menus, buttons, or HUDs that integrate seamlessly into your VR experience.
Event triggers: Build interactions tied to specific actions, such as opening doors, activating teleporters, or starting timed challenges.
Networking: Implement multiplayer functionalities, enabling shared experiences within your WORLDs.

3. Enable Tailored User Experiences

Unlike pre-made templates, C# scripting empowers you to craft features specific to your WORLD’s unique vision. Whether it’s custom animations, sound effects, or user interactions, you’re no longer limited by generic tools.

4. Integrate Third-Party Assets

Unity’s vast asset store is at your fingertips. With C# scripting, you can integrate third-party plugins, libraries, or tools into your project, enabling features like advanced shaders, particle effects, or VR-ready AI packages.

5. Optimize Performance for VR

C# scripting allows developers to fine-tune performance, crucial for maintaining high framerates in VR. By customizing scripts, you can optimize your WORLD to handle detailed graphics and interactions without sacrificing user experience.

Why This Matters for VR Creation

Virtual reality demands a higher level of immersion, and C# scripting unlocks the ability to create environments that are not only visually stunning but also responsive, engaging, and interactive. For Unity creators, this means having the freedom to push boundaries, turning imaginative concepts into fully realized VR experiences.

With no restrictions on your scripting capabilities, the only limit in Somnium Space is your creativity and technical skill. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or an aspiring creator, C# scripting gives you the tools to build WORLDs that stand out and inspire.
