New Service: Holoearth Marketplace
Holoearth users will be able to create avatar fashion items and chat stickers, and then sell their original creations on the “Holoearth Marketplace.”
Wear your favorite outfits while exploring Holoearth, and enjoy socializing with other users using chat stickers!
See details about “Holoearth Marketplace” here.
Creator Tools
Creator Tools is a web tool that users can use to apply their own illustrations to 3D clothing templates to create in-app fashion items.
The available items as of version 1.0.0 that can be created include T-shirts, hoodies, and other fashion items, as well as chat stickers.
Once items pass a review process, they can be sold on the HoloPhone “Marketplace” or “My Shop.”
(Note: As of version 1.0.0, there are certain small portions of the UGC web portal that may still appear in Japanese. An announcement will be made when these items are reflected in English.)
My Shop
In My Shop, users can display and sell items they create with the previously mentioned Creator Tools.
If a My Shop has its privacy settings set to public, it can be visited by other users.
For information about using My Shop, see the in-app tutorial while in My Shop (? key).
Customizing with Furniture
It will be possible to enter build mode and customize the layout of My Shop using various building materials and furniture items.
Selling Items
Users can place an “AL-Tec Terminal” and use it to manage the items they wish to sell.
Displaying Items
Users can display their items with special furniture such as mannequins and product shelves, which can also be used to sell items.
Making My Shop Public
It will be possible for users to visit other shops by setting the privacy settings to “public” in the Room Console.
Users can navigate to another My Shop via either the Room Console or another user’s profile.
▲Room Console
Purchasing Items
User-made items can be purchased in the HoloPhone (H key) Shop or in a user’s My Shop.
Note: Purchasing items requires HoloCoin (Premium).
Items and shops created as samples by the Holoearth team will be labeled with “[staff]” following the username – so users can feel free to use these as reference when creating their own original items or when designing the perfect layout for their own shops!

New avatar items will be added to the fashion shop ALTERMODE.
Trendy off-the-shoulder trench coats for showing a touch of skin in style, as well as elegant three-quarter sleeve trench coats for a refined look, will be available for purchase.
