The neighborhood

Welcome to The Neighborhood, created, built, and designed by AddisonBlessed creator. What inspired me to create, is the life changing opportunity that The Meta Horizon Developer program offered. With each project, i am inspired to try something new, and exciting by creating mobile and VR games that resonate with players. I am honored and have a passion to create and develop games where players are welcomed in a safe environment to explore, interact, and share enjoyable moments. The neighborhood was built on the Desktop Editor, utilizing Gen AI, typescript, 3D models, and textures. The biggest dilemma Ive faced was scripting, to make the game more realistic for players to use the cash register, listing prices on the screen once scanned at the store. I plan on adding new gadgets and items in the game to make it more realistic. Ongoing i plan to enhance my skills with API, generating 3d models, scripting and more, while utilizing the desktop editor, and visual studios to make the game more rewarding and enjoyable for players, which will include quests, and progression systems that enable players to develop a deeper connection with the game and its mechanics. Being that the Meta Horizon Program is all new to me, I am proud of what I’ve built so far. I plan to continue expanding the game with accessories and gameplay improvements to make the world more fun, and exciting for players. All Community Feedback is extremely important to me. My goal is to enhance my skills and learn all that I can, so i can create, and develop games for players to have more rewarding experiences. Ultimately, I desire to create well-designed games for players engagement, retention, and overall for players to have shareable and enjoyable moments.
