Mark Schramm #VR #AR #MR

Hi to all my new (and old) followers! I am Mark and I have been doing #VR, #AR and #MR stuff since 2012. Just shipped Starship Home for #MetaQuest3S, but you might know me from "SUPERHOT VR", a Tilt Five launch title called "Mark's Magnificent Marble Maze" or my Quest launch title "Gravity Lab"

Happy to go 3 for 3 😅 (SUPERHOT VR, Starship Home, H3VR2)

Lukewarm take, but I wouldn't be opposed to Valve substantially increasing the Steam submission fee, but making it fully recoupable. Would get rid of a lot of the slop

Too late for this Next Fest. Ah well, maybe next one.

If the distance between the idea and your vision for executing it is so small that anyone else could reproduce that, then you've probably already lost. You're essentially bringing nothing to the table. Ican count on one hand the number of ideas that are so good that the idea *is* the execution

Two more

Star Trek - The Wrath of Hahn (This is also Andy Weirs idea for sure)

Feeling cute, might delete later

How do you bring deep firearm simulation to Quest 3? Learn how RUST LTD used Unity 6.3, ECS ballistics, and custom Editor tooling to build Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 without blowing the frame budget. 🔗 Read the full dev interview: on.unity.com/H3VR2_Blog #GameDev #IndieGames

I wrote about the press' irresponsible AI doomsday coverage:

ya, fuck

we need to go back

Goodbye old friend

Both new XR devices are not available for pre-order in Australia. Boo

Spent the weekend cutting, plastering and painting. Think it turned out great. And only fell off a ladder once!

Finally filled that board game shelf

Been working with the wonderful people over at Rust Ltd on their new game! Go check it out! 🌭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYgc...

That’s right… WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN!! Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 Wishlist now on Meta Quest & Steam

Oh man, can't wait for this one. You really don't want to miss this!

Oh hi! #SteamFrame #VR

Every game that ships is a miracle.

"VR" doesn't make you motion sick, bad developers not following best practices do. If you do it right, you can mitigate most forms of visual vestibular mismatch

Another OG bites the dust 😔

Your favourite game was not your favourite game until in the last 5% of development. Some games you don't like would've been your favourite game had they made different decisions in the last 5%

Everyone's favourite Eridian

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.

Mark Schramm's VR collection is a sight to behold. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/mark-schra...

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 🚀
