Highrise Create

What Highrise Create is

Highrise Create, also called Highrise Studio, is a development environment for building and publishing games and experiences on the Highrise platform. Creators can construct 3D worlds, environments, buildings, and objects, script with Lua, and test multiplayer sessions in real time. Access is free and includes Studio Hub, the Studio Tools VSCode extension, and a Studio Package containing assets, tools, and plugins. The Asset Catalog offers community-made models, textures, scripts, and other assets, which creators can also sell. Bot, Engine, Cloud, and Web APIs connect code, servers, bots, and web applications. Bots can use WebSocket connections in any programming language or Highrise’s Python SDK, and require designer rights to enter a room. Publishing requires uploading a build through Unity and the Creator Portal, setting a maximum user count, testing in the Highrise app, and releasing publicly. Engagement payouts and Gold payments are available; the Payments API pays creators 70% of collected Gold, with cash conversion eligibility after 35,000 Earned Gold. Desktop requirements include Windows 7 SP1 or later 64-bit, Mac OS X 10.13 or later, and a DX10 shader-model-4.0 graphics card.
