This is such a fun game. Highly recommended, especially if you're someone that's introducing MR and VR games to for the first time.

This collaboration has been one of the best things this year. Check out the teaser for the GTC 1.0 Release!!!

Keep an eye out for the Galactic Traffic Control 1.0 Release Trailer PLUS a new content update coming soon! 🚀💫 Trailer out November 7th at 12pm EST :)

I got to do an interview about the design process of GTC + how it's going trying to run a game studio! It was so much fun and Bo rocks. Check it out here! youtu.be/0y0HXmIxbXk

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We don’t shy away from sharing our process with the world, because it shows we’re human. We’re imperfect artists who put our all into the work, and we let that passion flow onto every screen around the world 🌊

Tl;dr If it's silly to attempt to solve a semi-complex algebra problem in your head, it's even sillier to try to solve life problems that way. Whip out the paper and pencil

Most problems are actually downstream from a lack of information (clarity/context/etc) and the best way to solve it is to seek specificity and disambiguation as quickly as possible. This goes for art, emotional dilemmas, technical problems and more

I'm continuing work on our OpenXR mixed reality tool called "MR Magic" Here's a screenshot of what that looks like with meta bounding boxes in my room + the tool I made to help me visually debug my surface2surface pathfinding algo Surfaces are nodes connected by edges, which is what's shown :)

While I'm working on the new game my team is working on finishing up Galactic Traffic Control with a 1.0 official release! Plus! Doing some very cool collaborations. Very excited with where we're going and what we're doing.

I can't show anything yet but after 3 months I started working on this again and we're making lots of cool progress! Hopefully something shareable soon. Specifically looking forward to sharing my room-pathing solution in Unity. I'm pretty jazzed with it.

Pencil won a best in show Augie and that's pretty awesome. #AWE2025

We'll be showing off all new Laser Dance gameplay footage at next weeks Creature Feature showcase! Here's a sneak peek 👀 ✨Tune in 9AM PST on May 19th on IGN!✨ #metaquest #mixedreality

Mixed reality arcade game Galactic Traffic Control added a fully immersive 'VR Mode' and a 'Mini Mode' that doesn't require a room mesh:

VR + Mini Mode update is out NOW for Galactic Traffic Control! I ❤️ this update. You can play while seated, standing still, on a unicycle, wherever! I like mini-mode even better than room-scale. We also added VR Mode. Quest 2 users, rejoice! Try it! Lmk ur thoughts www.meta.com/experiences/...

I'm super excited to finally share a first look of the VR game I've been working on... !! <<🐧 Penguin Festival 🐧>> !! Any shares/wishlists would be super appreciated, y'all! 🙏 #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

For the past week I've been working on a surface-bound pathfinding package in Unity for mixed reality apps. I'm hoping to release it for other devs to use as well once I have it a bit more polished up! Spoilers -- we're in the early days of a tower defense prototype for our next game 👀

I love the XR community!!! @xrnerd.bsky.social @4thwallbreakers.bsky.social @tovanbo.bsky.social @ellenlowing.bsky.social @aidanwolf.bsky.social

Our latest 60 Second Review is for Galactic Traffic Control by @gnomecap.games! Great addictive little traffic management game for a very cheap price! www.youtube.com/shorts/AGuSS...

Taking part in the Godot XR Jam! It's my first time using Godot and I'm having tons and tons of fun. The XR Tools are actually very intuitive and lovely to work with. Kudos to the team!

I meant to put out a video in December before it launched but best laid plans & all that 😂 So finally I bring you the hand tracked mixed reality game Galactic Traffic Control by @gnomecap.games on #Quest3! 😁✌️☮️❤️ youtu.be/pfuFMye7EhY?...

My reading goals this year are: - More Ursula K Le Guin (always her!) - Latin American books, read in Spanish (need to work those muscles more -- Borges, Allende, Marquéz) - Russian Lit (was gifted Master & Margarita, want more Russians) - Tolkien - Mythology (Odyssey?) - Rushdi And ofc, Calvino

It was an honor to have this great conversation with Austin and share some of my thoughts on XR, creativity, and writing!

Today I would like to talk about everything you should know about Mixed Reality! From what kind of features that it offers, to a variety of games that are available. I hope that his video is useful! youtu.be/bXN8_RmIdDY

Want the XR community's thoughts on this: the way I see it, it would only be good for Meta to support XR development in Godot. I don't see a way in which they wouldn't benefit from this. And while they're at it, maybe they should replace Horizon World's editor. It's very unwieldy.

I constantly feel like a beginner in everything I set out to do. Like I'm constantly re-learning things from first principles every time I set out to make a new game, website, story, etc... And even after the fact it all feels duct-taped together. Not a bad thing maybe, just interesting!

I want to redesign my website again soon to optimize for making it easy to quickly write & post, plus some other stuff. But design-wise, unsure if I should strip it down towards minimalism, or actually go for maximalism. I'm talking an interactive map, VFX, etc

AndroidXR's release solidifies it -- I'm going to have to build all future XR apps using Unity XR Interaction Toolkit. Honestly, I should've done it for GTC too but I wanted to play with Meta's toys

Big day for games and while waiting for "The Game Awards", tune into BestInVR for a look back at this years great #VR and #MixedReality games 🎉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xCo...

I know on Meta's *only* discontinuing Scoreboard and that technically Leaderboard still works. Ideally, they're going to re-build the scoreboard functionality into the OS and all the other associated APIs will keep working as normal. Just worried about implementing bc of this. Any tips / advice??

I JUST LAUNCHED MY FIRST EVER COMMERCIAL GAME!!!!!!

The unfortunate truth of a fear of inadequacy is that if you succumb to it, it fulfills itself. The fear makes you pull back, it whittles away at your resolve, makes its basis a reality in many little subtle ways. Because fear, like hope, always seeks to affirm itself

Here's a brief video exploring the different ship types in our game!

in my experience, this is how every great artistic endeavor begins

I learned so much working on my game and I had fun!! But now that launch is close, I really want to start winding down on my computer / tech time and re-connect with my love for books & writing for at least a month or two before tackling the next project 📖 In other words, to touch grass 🌿

🧵Gameplay Design Decisions for My Mixed Reality Game! As promised yesterday, a sort of continuation of my GTC story but with a gameplay design lens. This is my first thread on this topic, at which I am a beginner, so let's see. How did I adapt my take on Flight Control to 3D?
