Sell NFT Assets

Listing assets on the Marketplace is quick and easy!

Now everyone can mint their voxel creations on Layer 2 (Polygon) and sell them in The Sandbox Marketplace as valuable NFTs with varied utility.

This means builders and collectors will be able to spend less on gas fees to purchase entities.

In just a few steps you will be able to list your creations for sale:

1. Create your asset in VoxEdit (save time with templates)

2. Upload it to your Workspace

3. Mint as an NFT and List to Sell on the Marketplace

4. Update your Profile to highlight your top Experiences and NFTs, and share it with your community

Creating an NFT collection is not currently available to the public.

Require NFTs to Enter Experiences

Your NFT requirement for entry will appear on your Experience Page

When you Publish an Experience to your LAND, you have the option to set up Access Restrictions. To enter your Experience, the player must either:

• Own a specific NFT in their wallet

• Have equipped an avatar from a collection you specify (from The Sandbox Marketplace)

If requiring an avatar from a collection, the avatar must be equipped to enter the Experience, not just owned and in the player's wallet.

In just a few steps you will be able to publish and gate your Experience:

• Follow steps above to create, mint, and list any NFTs needed for gating

• Create an Experience Page

• Locate your Experience on your LAND in the Map

• Complete the Asset Review process to ensure you own all NFTs needed to publish

• Set up Access Restrictions to apply NFT gating

• Update your Profile to highlight your top Experiences and NFTs and share it with your community

• Share the link for your Experience Page with your community so they can press PLAY!

Creating an NFT collection is not currently available to the public.

🆕 Require NFTs to Access In-Game Content

Get ready to develop new meta gameplay as part of your monetisation strategy!

Players will be notified if they need to purchase any required NFTs to enjoy exclusive content in your game.

When you build an Experience in Game Maker 0.9 you have a new option to allow NFT holders to be integrated into your gameplay logic! This opens up huge potential for creative monetisation options.

Use the new NFT Sensor component on an object and require players to:

• Own a specific NFT in their wallet

• Have equipped an avatar from a collection you specify (from The Sandbox Marketplace)

If requiring an avatar from a collection, the avatar must be equipped to trigger a success message with the NFT Sensor, not just owned and in the player's wallet.

In just a few steps you will be able to publish and gate your Experience:

• Follow steps above to create, mint, and list any NFTs needed for gating

• Apply the URL for your NFT (found on The Sandbox Marketplace) to get the NFT Sensor to work

• Build your remaining logic to creatively integrate the NFT Sensor into your gameplay using its Success and Failure messages

• Make sure that you've updated your Experience Page and Profile to highlight how you've added value through gameplay for NFT holders

Creating an NFT collection is not currently available to the public.

About the NFT Sensor

The NFT Sensor component is [MP] (synchronised for all players). When a player meets the requirement(s) you set, a custom success message can be sent to other [MP] behaviours or components, to all players, or to the new Game Rules system to trigger more sophisticated mechanics.

Potential Use Cases for Varied Gameplay & Monetisation

Visit the NFT Sensor component documentation for more technical details on how you may implement these newly brainstormed ideas to build with NFT Sensor:

• Open a Door for All Players

• Teleport to VIP Areas & Gameplay

• Teleport Players to Create Teams

• Gain a Competitive Edge
