Paint The Block

Paint the Block is a live service Freeform creative game where players paint on a collaborative city block and search for paint cans that award them new colors to express themselves with.

We made this game to compete in a Horizon competition Based off tech built for Fire & Rescue. The tech used to render thousands of fire particles dynamically in 3D space was reused to “paint” flat rects oriented away from the surface they were painting, or mix colors together if there were already decals on a given surface. This technique, a workaround designed to get over engine limitations, We had unique gameplay that no one else was able to replicate in Horizon Worlds. I did almost all the initial prototyping and the core tech that made the game possible.
