Winter Mall Con

The purpose of this world was to bring many other VRChat communities of content creators together to demonstrate and promote their creative skills, in the theme of a winter mall, with a narrative, and puzzled filled adventure all in one world. The shock value of this world was to improve the lighting inside of Sears, making the users feel that the world was just Sears, but when they leave the department store, they find the entire mall which had booths from other communities along with a full story to explore.

I learned how to lead a team of content creators from my own community along with collaborating with other communities to implement many different Unity projects into one single Unity project to be uploaded to VRChat. I learned strategies at organizing and optimizing other creators' work. I was able to recognize patterns of common mistakes people make who are new to Unity, and quickly fix them up before importing their assets into my project.

The result was much better than I expected with how quickly the world was made with less than a month before Christmas hit. The Quest users were in shock at how much content was packed in less than 100MBs (which is the Quest limit on the platform). Many users thought the world was just a mall full of booths from other creators but were mesmerized when they discovered there was a storyline and other worlds inside of giant ornaments hanging from the Christmas tree.
