Check out this game I worked on! Breath Checkers is designed to provoke both playfulness and relaxation. Developed at Dagstuhl Seminar 25292 with @curseofremy.bsky.social. Meeting and working with Rémy was such a wonderful experience. I learned a whole lot more about design in that short time.

In #VR #gamedev, one of our goals is to design what you interact with to feel as real as possible. This selector allows you to pick the prey you want your hunters to pursue.
