New Mode in ‘Gorilla Tag’ & $2.6M Investment in ‘Digigods’ Cements UGC as Crucial Social VR Feature
For a concise overview, "Gorilla Tag," a popular VR game, is permanently integrating a level creation mode called 'Monke Blocks,' allowing players to collaboratively build and play within their custom environments. Meanwhile, the makers of the VR game "Digigods" have received a $2.6 million investment, reinforcing the importance of user-generated content (UGC) in social VR games. This trend is evident in the success of games like VRChat, Rec Room, and Roblox. The new generation of VR games, including "Orion Drift" from the makers of Gorilla Tag, adopts this UGC approach along with innovative locomotion techniques to enhance engagement.
