Sell NFT Assets
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:
Create your asset in VoxEdit (save time with templates)
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
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!
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

These are only a few examples! Game Maker 0.9 offers new tools, systems, and enhancements to accelerate your development process and expand creative options.
It allows for so many unique possibilities to monetise gameplay areas or gameplay types so that one Experience can offer a variety of different player experiences: adventures, trials, perks, events, narrative, mischief, experiments, and more!
