Here's a video tutorial on setting up a world in Hypernex

Setting Up​

When starting, create a new GameObject in the scene you have the world in. After creating that GameObject, go ahead and add a World component to it.

You can also create a World object by opening the Content Builder Window and selecting Create a World Object!.
