Let’s meet Createra’s map editor ARENA and create worlds together!
Introduction of ARENA
ARENA is a map editor where you can create a 3D virtual world at your will. It supports real-time collaboration so that you can build and run your world with like-minded friends. You can publish the map to the LAND later and invite all the Createra users to play. There is an enormous amount of preset and user-generated content to help you quickly build your worlds in whatever style you want. If you want to have a look inside the ARENA, check the introduction here on Createra YouTube Channel!
Features of ARENA
ARENA is currently in beta, but it already has all the tools you need to build a fantastic world. You can change the terrain to sea or hill, sand or steel, and 100 more types for you to choose from. Also, we offer 32 filters so that you can set the tone for the entire scene with one click. If you want to feel the elapse of time like in the real world, we have this time system ready for you to simulate the sunrise and sunset, and even the changing moon phase. If you still doubt what ARENA can do, see for yourself in this Bounty Game, which reproduces the classic challenges seen in the prevail series The squid game. All in all, ARENA is the perfect place for you to set the terrain, build the scene, set up the interaction and develop the game, etc. There is no limit but your imagination and creativity.
More features are coming soon, including assets importing and publishing to land. The following is a brief handbook of controls in ARENA.

Start creating scenes and programming in ARENA. Invite your friends and create together! LAND will be up for sale soon. By then, you may publish your creation on LAND and have other players play.
Createra API
ARENA supports script control and provides APIs in JavaScript. Everything in the 3D world can run and behave as code designed. See details in Createra API.
The script for each map, which runs on the server side, responds to various events in the world and updates the game engine state. The map scripts and the game engine are run separately to ensure safety and to avoid user-created code errors that could cause the entire game engine to crash. The code is so powerful that it can control almost any aspect of the game.
