Holy shit the new #Tesla Red Rocket is amazing I can't wait for the first compressed air canister puncture! It's going to be 😏 explosive 😏 heh heh

Have you ever noticed how #SilentHill f can be interpreted as Kishōtenketsu? The first ending lays out the story skeleton and the second ending develops it into a coherent world. You reject this ending for a completely different 3rd path. The final ending entwines 2 and 3 to give a complete story.

Ryukishi07 is pretty cool. It's like he knows how to write good stories or something.

Which stage would the UFO ending slot into?

can't be done

Demos that end on a cliffhanger boss convert worse than demos that end on a build choice. Wishlisting feels like a decision about your next hour, not about a cutscene. Anyone seen data that says otherwise? #indiegames #gamedev

The Stacksquatch demo is coming within the week, for those on the fence store.steampowered.com/app/937090/S... WISHLIST NOW to get the notification :D #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #vr #pcvr

I may or may not be also looking into a #SteamFrame standalone version of Stacksquatch...

Why do rich people not care about art anymore? Where are all the wealthy benefactors paying for a retainer of Bachs and Monets? I keep DM'ing bill melinda gates on Twitter the everything app but hes still not on my patreon 😔

I tell Gemini to make a calendar event out of an image. It gets all the details perfect but tells me that I have to click the link to manually create it. Fine... but there is no link

I tell it again to make a link and it does this time! It even generates a link for an ics file. Or at least it generates an image that looks like what links would look like. Material design buttons and everything. Completely useless.

I tell it that there's no link so it generates the URL for me. Except that the URL is just google.com

okay so big question for #vr #ar #metaquest today: Who Is This For?

But none of this makes Meta back the money they invested in this. None of this is wringing out All The Money from businesses.

so Who Is This For? (and you can't say mark zuckerberg)

okay so big question for #vr #ar #metaquest today: Who Is This For?

For the record, I do think there's legitimate uses for VR/AR in the workplace at the right price point and with _serious_ investment in software. Imagine manipulating virtual servers and networks in "physical" space. It could genuinely be transformative in a way an admin panel couldn't be.

If you wanted to make useful AR you could probably just buy up a bunch of old Quest 1's, put the internals into a puck, and sell it for cheap. Do a Nintendo Gameboy and have these stupid things everywhere. Create the world of Dennoh Coil and sell people virtual pets. A shared AR world would be wild.

okay so big question for #vr #ar #metaquest today: Who Is This For?

Video meeting software is pretty good. So is design and collaboration software. We've been making productivity software for a long time without 6DOF and depth perception. Making architectural models is also a lot cheaper than $1300 per person viewing it.

And I'm not sure if they've really addressed the logistics of how this fits into your kit. Do you use it in a side room for specific tasks? Is it another occasional tool in your van for the worksite? Does it replace a laptop? What happens when people come up to you and just start talking?

okay so big question for #vr #ar #metaquest today: Who Is This For?

Speaking of productivity, that's about the strongest case, right? Digital keyboards and hand controls and AI agents and they finally implemented legs in the metaverse! But it's still pricey for an office to buy for everyone and what's the killer software for it?

Remember, it not only has to be good for productivity but 🚨better than the alternative🚨

okay so big question for #vr #ar #metaquest today: Who Is This For?

It seems like they're targeting mass market with the form factor and HMD weight + heavy puck. But the price ($1300USD) is insane unless you're well off or heavily invested in the technology. You also risk dropping it for games if you're moving around at all. So... media consumption? Productivity?

It's certainly not for enthusiasts. People are already heated over the 70 degree FOV and light bleed. You're tied to the Meta ecosystem (and now Muse AI lol) but that doesn't compare to the Apple ecosystem that you'd get from the Vision Pro. And they don't even have a Netflix app yet?

Settings are vital to a good demo. Seriously! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

hey #vr devs: why haven't we made this layer over windows yet?

New small update to Stacksquatch! The colliders are a bit better, which is a big deal for a physics game! #solodev #indiedev #gamedev Check it: store.steampowered.com/app/937090/S... This is probably the last bit I'll do for #SteamVR. I need to bring the #MetaQuest version up to speed pretty badly.

I'm sorry why is there not a videogame with this style? The detail is so thick I could chew on it.

Do you think I could just remake Valve's Artifact and have a hit by removing microtransactions and not having the baggage of expectations?

50 fresh email sent for Stacksquatch this week. Already 2 expressed interest! It's already going better than it did 5 years ago lol

I feel like it's a shame that I won't work on VR for a while when I have this huge list of streamers now.
