New UGC Program: Supporting Game Developers and Creators
Over the past two years, we have witnessed a remarkable outpouring of creativity and innovation within our community. Our talented creators have poured their hearts and souls into crafting thousands of extraordinary experiences, games, and virtual items that have captivated our imaginations and transformed Spatial into a vibrant and thriving platform. Their dedication and passion have been instrumental in our growth and success, and we are continually grateful for their ongoing contributions to the platform.
To further empower these creators and foster an environment where their talents can flourish, we are thrilled to announce our new UGC Creators Program.
If you are an individual creator, or part of a small team developing innovative virtual games/experiences, and are monetizing your content with Spatial Coins you can apply to opt into a revenue share instead of paying the new subscription fee.
We firmly believe that the future of Spatial lies in the hands of our creators. Their boundless imagination, skill, and dedication are the lifeblood of our platform. By investing in our creators, we invest in the future of Spatial and ensure that it remains a vibrant and thriving hub of creativity and innovation. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible and redefine the way people interact and engage within virtual worlds.
A Thank You To Those Who Have Been Building With Us
As a thank you to those who have brought their creativity, ideas and talents to Spatial by building on the platform and subscribing to Spatial+, we are exempting them from these new pricing changes. They will continue to be able to use the Spatial they know and love just as they have been thus far, and at the price they have become familiar with.
Why the Change
This new structure allows Spatial to support creators across the spectrum, from hobbyists to enterprises, while continuing to invest in the platform's future.
Looking Ahead
We're committed to transparency and fairness throughout this transition. If you have concerns, please contact our support team. We value your feedback and aim to ensure a seamless experience for all users.
