Climbing
Ninja Skybound
Ten belts, ten islands, a guardian on each. Train together, earn better swords, and win the next belt.
Experiences
An experience is a place a player built and gave rules to: a race, a puzzle, an arena, a quest. Anyone can make one, and anyone can walk in.
Pip: Wait, I can make the rules?
Tavi: Yes. Everyone who walks in plays by them.
The idea
Build a place
Use the same little cubes as everything else in Eggox, and the props and characters you make in the Studio.
Give it rules
Decide what happens when someone walks in, clicks, scores or solves something. The rules are short Lua scripts.
Open the door
Publish it and put its door where people pass. Anyone who steps through is inside your experience.
What it can be
A challenge
A climb, a race or an obstacle course, with a score at the end.
A puzzle
Clues to find, things that answer when you touch them, a door that opens.
An arena
Rounds and a clock, with everyone playing at once.
A quest
Several rooms or areas, with progress saved between visits.
What goes inside
Buttons and windows
Give players choices, show scores, tell a story.
Moving characters
Animated creatures and guardians, made in the Studio.
Saved progress
Remember each player's belt, key or high score between visits.
Several rooms
Areas, levels and lobbies, joined up in one experience.
Make your own
Get an Experience
Take an Experience from the Market's STUDIO aisle and put its door down where you can build. It's free, its rooms (up to twelve) come with it, and you can have as many as you like.
Build the place
Step inside and build your rooms. Make your own props and characters in the Studio.
Write what happens
Open the script editor and write the rules in Lua. The editor has the whole reference built in.
Try it in private
Save and playtest starts a copy only you can enter. Restart after a change, reset your test progress, read the logs.
Publish it
Publish, and people can play it. Keep working on the draft: copies already running keep their version until they end. Publishing needs the age check.
Examples
Puzzle
The Last Lighthouse
A puzzle island to solve on your own. Clues connect, things answer when you touch them, and the tide turns.
Arena
Colour Clash
Walk to paint the floor your colour and paint over everyone else. When the clock runs out, the biggest area wins.
These three live on our test world for now.
