Hello everyone! I'm excited to share that I'll be going to GDC for the first time this year!! I'm looking to connect with anyone in the XR community. Would really love to chat. Reach out if you're want to meet up at some point for coffee or a chat ☕🍵

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!

Had a great conversation with @juanlam.com over at Connect Record Shop! Look out for the finished interview coming on January 10th! 😎📹 Big thanks to @joemainstreet.bsky.social for producing our video! Links: gnomecap.games augmentedinfosystems.com juanlam.com austinstanbury.com

Working on a new banner for Galactic Traffic Control! What do y'all think? New (left) vs Old (right)

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
