Verse Starter Template Overview

Jump into the world of Verse with the VKT - Verse Device Starter Games template and play Verse Commander, a minigame where you solve puzzles by sending commands to your character.

Minigames are short, self-contained experiences that can act as companion pieces to your main game. They can be as simple as a series of button presses, or as complex as a full game mode. You can use minigames to better pace the gameplay, explore new mechanics and ideas, or just because they're fun! Minigames are often highly scalable, as working from a simple list of mechanics gives you a lot of room to create variety within each game.

This template tutorial walks you through the creation of Verse Commander, a minigame where you guide an NPC character through a series of game boards to reach the end goal. You'll control the NPC using custom Verse commands, directly translating UI choices into character action.

Verse Commander shows how you can use Verse to manage your game, including:

• Sending data between Verse device and NPC Behavior scripts.
• Using a custom, dynamic in-game UI created and updated in Verse.
• Coordinating VFX and cinematics in Verse for visual feedback of the game state.
• And more!
