ARCADIA is EVERYWHERE's content builder. The possibilities for experience creation are limitless here - Imagine it? Make it! This page goes over the HUD and menus in ARCADIA's Creator Mode.

Asset Library

This is a catalog of all items available for creating, such as furniture, logic, NPCs and vehicles. Use either the section categories or the search bar at the top to navigate the library.
All items available for use in ARCADIA are found in the Asset Library on the left of the screen. Items are organised by theme and function.

Toolbar

This bar has all the main controls for editing and building an ARC as well as access to Publish settings, Testing, Performance Impact Score and Exiting creator. There's also buttons for hiding sections of the HUD to increase the Field Of View (FOV). Clicking on Assets, Settings and / or Tutorials while they are open, will collapse the left hand side panel for an increased FOV.
The Toolbar Introduction page goes through all the buttons on the Toolbar and their functions.

The Settings Panel is where you manage your ARC. In here, you can set the time of day, music and camera behavior. Additionally, you can add gameplay overrides that will apply to your ARC, these include controlling the number of jumps allowed, disabling the dash mechanic and setting the gameplay template: Isometric, third person, side scroller...etc. You can also modify and customise the camera options for you ARC in the settings panel The name, thumbnail, versioning and description of ARCs are also managed here.
