Spatial is a gaming platform where millions of creators build and share fun and inspiring experiences that bring people together across web, mobile, and VR. Our goal is to change the way we share fun experiences, tell stories, and make friends. Today, videos are the most common way to talk and share things online, but often people end up just watching and not interacting. We want the internet to be a more playful and social place. This change is already happening in the world of gaming. We want to accelerate this by making it easier for everyone to create, share, and play fun games with their friends. Just like YouTube did for videos. To turn this vision into reality, we are currently focused on the following three pillars: - Creator Toolkit: a dynamic extension of Unity, the most widely adopted game engine globally. We provide you with easy tools and useful templates so you can focus on what matters most - creating fun games that bring people together. - Virtual Economy (beta): enabling the sale of digital items, avatar enhancements, and power-ups. We’re proud to provide a creator-friendly revenue share that outperforms our competitors, putting more money in your pocket. - Multi-Platform: the only platform where your games are published across web, mobile, and VR, ensuring you reach every player on every device.
