The Project Hail Mary movie is to its book what The Martian movie was to its book. Entertaining, but better if you have read the book. There were a lot of things my friends who haven't read the book didn't catch.

This was a fun one! Got a bit sentimental towards the end, but ya, I really meant what I said in regards as to why so many of us are still in #VR. We really love the medium and just want to build cool shit. Thanks @ianhamilton.net for having me on!

Listen to Mark Schramm walk through more than a decade of VR development from SUPERHOT VR to Starship Home. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/mark-schra...

A really lovely anecdote about @tovanbo.bsky.social from @markschramm.bsky.social in the middle of our discussion as I’m thinking about @devinreimer.bsky.social and Stellar Cafe. You can make a developer’s day by leaving a review expressing how their worked affected you.

I keep thinking about this insane survey question for GDC attendees. Surely this can't represent the vast majority of people who attend? But it feels like it explains a lot of the other context and choices around the show.

If music was reviewed like videogames are: "This metal song has too much drums." "I wish this song wasn't metal, I like Rap. It should be Rap." "The song is good but they should hire a new singer" "The thing is they're using Gibson guitars, they need to switch to Fender and it'll sound better"

Good Virtual Reality is nearly a month old and this is the first podcast episode talking with Doug North Cook about 14 years of work in VR. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/the-most-i...

Spent the weekend building a new living room shelf out of acacia. Very simple design; only hurt myself three times

A proposition: teach kids how to make games instead. Invest in education in creative arts. Nurture a new generation of talent with bright eyes and big hopes, and let them realize those hopes without risks, without eyes going dull and dim. Imbue them with ideas of care in craftmanship.

Just some world building

Got myself a belated Christmas present 🚀

Had a great time at #UnitedXR in Brussels. Great to see past the gaming horizon a bit and find lots of passionate people in other industries. The expo floor had some wild stuff on it.

I'll be at #UnitedXR Europe! If you see me, come and say Hi! 🙂

My NZGDC talk about Starship is now live 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkF-... This talk explores the design intentions behind our DICE award-winning game and how we used #MixedReality to not only build a full narrative game, but to inherently involve the player and their space in it.

Hey #gcap and #migw peeps! Happy to chat about all things VR, AR and Mixed Reality. I'll be at the agdas, parallels and megadev. If you see me, come say Hi! 🙂 #agdas25 #gcap25 #migw25

Thank you #NZGDC25 for having me! It's been a blast! Always happy for people to contact me to chat about #VR #AR and #MixedReality ❤️ And if anyone has photos of my talk, please send them through 🙂

I'll be at #NZGDC from Friday. Say Hi! if you see me and want to chat about anything #XR 🙂 Also come to my session Saturday if you want to learn about how we at Creature have built #MixedReality 's best narrative adventure game 🚀🌱🧑‍🚀

Come to my #nzgdc talk and learn how we at Creature have designed mixed reality's best narrative adventure :) www.nzgdc.com/programme#ca...

Games for me are a form of creative expression and with the whole genAI thing, I really don't know where this will lead creativity as a whole. My hope is that it could be a great tool, but it also could be the end for most of us. And I swing wildly between the two from moment to moment.

How could I not?

What? No way

🎉BIG NEWS! 🎉 IGEA celebrates the finalists for the 2025 Australian Game Developer Awards. This years finalists feature hit titles from talented teams. We are certain you can find a few favourites in this list. Read more, and some exciting news about this years hosts: agdas.com.au/2025-finalis...

As a kid, I always thought Australia was just a flat, hot desert. Turns out it has some mountains too

Cheapest way to get into VR right now.

Any NZ devs here attending #NZGDC? I'm going and would love to hang out with Kiwi #XR devs. Also, come to my talk 🙂

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Hey Cortana

Took a week off and built a new addition to the kids play room / library. Custom made light frame and arcade stick that runs games on a 32x32 grid, powered by an ESP8266, Arduino Nano and a mini PC. When not in use, it doubles as wall art (folder of gifs) or clock.

Built a bookshelf with some recessed cubbies to create stairs for the kid. Before it was just a boring wardrobe

Tell me you've been in VR for more than a decade by posting a picture

Hey Kiwi #gamedev friends! I'll be giving a talk about our Mixed Reality game "Starship Home" at #NZGDC25. Looking forward to visiting for the first time! ✈️ Feel free to hit me up if you want to talk about VR, AR and MR while I am there 🙂

One of the few advantages to living in this timezone :)

My Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 (2023) has been overheating for a while, so I gave it a chunky bottom with active M.2 cooling

My read is that vibe coding is software engineers (or wannabe engineers) discovering tools for making messy hacked together prototypes to validate an idea with poor code, and then pushing that to production with minimal testing. Excuse me but that is a game designer's job.

Laser Dance is coming to ✨Early Access✨ later this fall! More details to follow soon, but be sure to wishlist the game on Meta Quest in the meantime 🙌 ➡️ bit.ly/3W0huQf

Finally got that new long awaited portable Nintendo console!

Had to share this review we've gotten for Starship Home. This is exactly what we hoped people would feel when they play our game ❤️

Hey #VR people, does anyone know of a replacement for the panorama feature of the Google camera app that used to be to create stereo panoramas? The latest update removed it
