I keep thinking about this one

A recent review called our game "a quiet masterpiece." <3

A virtual pet gets in the way of game development the same way a real-life pet gets in the way of household chores. The most surprising thing that sometimes slows us down. @stay-forever-home.com #VirtualPet #DigitalPet #SimulationGame #VRGame #MRGame #XRGame #IndieDev #IndieGame

Quest 2 compat has been... a bear. But, some workarounds to low level issues outside of our control, and now you can play with the best virtual pet ever made!

Hate to vaguepost but just saw an amazing AAA pitch from a women-led studio for a game that most certainly would pass the Bechdel test or whatever the equivalent is for games. I hope it gets made, because I'd play it.

We broke Meta's ToS for outdoor Quest 3 usage and saw the future. www.tiktok.com/@stay.foreve...

Man I'd love to make this @windupminds.com

Bravos, pls advise

Griffin Canning — what a difference a year makes! @mets.com what a signing

A milestone when fans start editing your game's wiki! Keeping @stay-forever-home.com designers honest! :D #virtualpets need a guide of care and feeding too... stay-forever-home.fandom.com/wiki/Food_-_...

6th Anniversary of launching Quest with First Steps and Bogo! Finally, we got to make a full Bogo game @stay-forever-home.com!

I'm late for @windupminds.com highlight; we're exceptionally fortunate to work with Austin Grossman. Austin, Doug Church and I wrote a pitch for cyberpunk MMO, Nightside; 25 years later, a game I wish existed. #VirtualPet #DigitalPet #SimulationGame #VRGame #MRGame #XRGame #IndieDev #IndieGame

Spotted some mysterious pawprints around the #PaxEast expo hall…👀🐾 Thanks to everyone who visited the Boston Indie Game Developers booth and demo'd Stay: Forever Home! We’re so grateful for your kindness and curiosity.💜✨ Bring the Magic Home Today: vr.meta.me/s/1TQ76HHJHC... #IndieDev #IndieGame

Welcome @niantic-labs.bsky.social to the Quest store with @playperidot.bsky.social --- now maybe players won't be able to say this anymore when playing @stay-forever-home.com ;-)

I mean, this is the most engagement I've ever gotten on a reddit post. A poll on whether virtual pets should poop or not. www.reddit.com/r/OculusQues...

Our team @windupminds.com was IN TEARS looking at @jukibom.bsky.social dev video of her animation pooping implementation. I have NEVER laughed so hard looking at gameplay before. We will share when we figure out how - bc with great power comes great responsibility ... but for now

How do you set up your room so you can play Mixed Reality games on your Meta Quest 3/3S? 🤔 It's a little more involved than Meta shows you, to get your couch just right! 🛋️ Then you can play our game: vr.meta.me/s/2aq2U7KEq2... #VirtualPet #VirtualReality #DigitalPet #PetSim #IndieGame #IndieDev

How it started youtu.be/hvDL-xbolDc?... How it's going youtu.be/bqc1I9oSGiE?...

variety.com/2025/tv/news... this is why they were such a badass as lyanna mormont. the duality of being a little girl with the heart of a northern warrior. no king but the king in the north!

Ahh game dev Bsky, here are thoughts from our lead designer, Austin (who I'll write more about soon) on our launch. You may recognize him from games like System Shock, Dishonored, Thief, Deus Ex... yeah, some of the most influential games of all time! stay-forever-home.com/blog/notes-o...

When @windupminds.com interviewed Technical Designer Ah Young Joo, she was both reserved and resolute. There's a lot to say about her force of will and multiple skills; she's able to stand-up ideas /fast/. #VirtualPet #DigitalPet #SimulationGame #VRGame #MRGame #XRGame #IndieDev #IndieGame

I havent had time to play this but it looks so good.

Holy crap, @windupminds.com game Stay: Forever Home has gone live and I have more people to spotlight! Today, @drenmcdonald.com. The brilliant Michael Abrash told us @ Oculus, audio & animation extra weight in VR. #VirtualPet #DigitalPet #SimulationGame #VRGame #MRGame #XRGame #IndieDev #IndieGame

LIVE! BREATHE! Sometimes it feels like we're playing Dr. Frankenstein here @windupminds.com . Emily Borjon, animator, was our first 'art' hire, why you ask? Very unconventional. Well... #VirtualPet #DigitalPet #SimulationGame #VRGame #MRGame #XRGame #ComingSoon #IndieDev #IndieGame

When you build something around care, the human response of tend and befriend, magic things can and will happen. @atombombbody.bsky.social we @windupminds.bsky.social are so happy that we could help in any way. May Zulu run forever until you find each other again over the rainbow bridge.

NO LIES DETECTED!

Next entry from the @windupminds.bsky.social role call, folks getting Stay: Forever Home ready for launch! @canotico.bsky.social: our most recent engineer, from Chile, a VFX/tech art-centric engineer. #VirtualPet #DigitalPet #SimulationGame #VRGame #MRGame #XRGame #ComingSoon #IndieDev #IndieGame

Went to a Twitch Seattle Indies creator meetup. Wish they organized discussion areas, b/c it's a bunch of young awkward nerds standing around. Remembering what that's like, forced myself to chat! Props to everyone who forced themselves to get their butts out to talk to strangers. Very anti-Seattle!

Studios don't make games. Let's pay attention to the people at @windupminds.bsky.social getting Stay: Forever Home ready for launch! Here's something I value about them. First up, @jukibom.bsky.social, gameplay programmer. #VirtualPet #DigitalPet #SimulationGame #VRGame #MRGame #XRGame #IndieDev

Getting close to launch, home stretch! Support us by wishlisting our game! www.meta.com/experiences/...

@dinoi.bsky.social shared something about First Contact, which we worked on together at Oculus, and how players still love it. So, to the meme generator:

We just debuted our launch trailer for Stay: Forever Home! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQJc... We'd love your help - Like, Comment, Share. We're a little team & rely on our community to help spread the word. I'm so proud of the team and the experience we made... wholly unique, emotionally powerful.

our launch trailer is SO LOVELY.

Whenever you see the lovely suburbs around Seattle, especially Bainbridge and the wealthy Eastside, never forget they were ripped away from Japanese American fruit and flower growers.
