You may also consider software that has existing assets which can be modified, like VRChat, Horizon Worlds, or Roblox. A good example is [Shakespeare in Fallout 76](https://secondwavedigitaltheatre.gitbook.io/flinders-phd-research-project/spotlights/platforms/videogame-platforms-as-social-spaces), which used Bethesda's game options to generate/design their assets (set, props, costumes, avatars) and perform.

Videogames and VR social environments since Second Life have been used to create virtual performances, and some programs offer pre-build theatre building or stage [*assets*](https://vpglossary.com/vpglossary/digital-asset/) that can be used without many modifications. For example, in 2020, [Brendan Bradley](https://secondwavedigitaltheatre.gitbook.io/flinders-phd-research-project/appendices/research-participant-information/interviewees/brendan-bradley) developed a program called FutureStages using Mozilla Hubs; the environment could be set up as either a traditional proscenium or a blackbox theatre, and Bradley noted that several universities and theatre makers used the program in the first two years of the pandemic.
