DIY pins are coming together nicely. I see if I can make a few batches for GDC, but the 1mm CNC router bits are super fragile and I had to lower the speed drastically

Come to my #GDC2025 Talk Thursday 3:30pm πŸš€πŸŒ±πŸ§‘β€πŸš€ #gamedev #VR #MixedReality

Feeling lucky to get to go to GDC again this year. Starship Home is nominated for the Nuovo Award at the IGFs & @markschramm.bsky.social is doing an incredible talk! We'll be demoing the game during GDC Nights & around all week. Looking forward to seeing friends old & new πŸ’–πŸ‘½πŸŒ±πŸͺβœ¨

#DICE2025 There is a path forward. The #GameIndustry always expands & contracts. Like the fire poppy each cycle brings new ideas, new tech, new kinds of games The Vikings burnt our village. What they don’t know and can’t control is the best games are made by PEOPLE who love games Let’s GO! #gamedev

Factory is ramping up

And the #DICEAwards for Immersive Reality Technical Achievement goes to Starship Home!

Come to my #GDC2025 talk on Thursday 3:30pm and learn how we made one of the best MR games out there πŸ™‚ schedule.gdconf.com/session/char...

Good luck Starship Home team @dnorco.bsky.social @tvdinnerdev.bsky.social @markschramm.bsky.social <3

Tried a fairly weird (but not really scalable) process of making my own pins. I think they turned out quite well

Starship Home is nominated for the IGF Nuovo Award! πŸŽ‰

Starship Home has been nominated for the #DICEAwards! πŸŽ‰ What an honor! πŸ™

Gentle reminder that the DICE awards are a dramatically better award show than the TGAs! It's actually celebrating developers without all the advertising crap. Check out these nominees!

Merry Christmas my friends. So excited for lots of folks to open up Starship Home under their tree today! πŸ™ƒ

Got a #MetaQuest3 or #MetaQuest3s for Christmas and want to try out #MixedReality? Don't mess around, go for the best! www.meta.com/experiences/...

4 star Starship Home review perfectly channels the energy of this other 4 star review πŸ˜…

Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands I thought some good might come of this, this sucks

Really @ign.com, Google Cardboard for #VR in 2024? Also, if you want me to believe this isn't an AI generated article, what's up with the pro and cons list that includes "Eye cushioning"?

Finally fixed the overheating drives in my Asus Zephyrus Duo 16. Added a larger heatsink on the drives that sticks out through the case, plus a little blower fan and 3d printed shroud.

Starship Home has made it onto Meta's Best of Quest 2024 list πŸŽ‰ #VR #MixedReality www.meta.com/en-gb/blog/q...

This thread is great, and eventually reaches the same confusion I had: why on earth are AI bros using AI to generate topo that looks worse than what Blender or ZBrush will hand you in 30 seconds.

When your laptop is overheating the only thing that helps is a Dremel. Sadly, even this isn't enough. I have ordered some more parts... stay tuned.

Well. We did it. A week after THRASHER wins Apple Vision Pro Game of the Year.... Maestro wins Meta App of the Year. 😡 AND on Meta..... Starship Home is a Best MR App THRASHER and Maestro are "Most Innovative of 2024" see it all here.... www.meta.com/experiences/...

Incredible to see Starship Home here. Proud of it and the team at Creature! A truly incredible team to have worked with.

Got a new VR headset or are gifting one to someone else? Have a look at this year's best #VR and #MixedReality games πŸ™Œ youtu.be/0xCo_zz22KM

69 indie VR developers collaborated on a trailer featuring 80 different VR games that premiered this morning. The 9-minute video and the full list of games can be seen over at their website at bestinvr.games

Video premiering now. There is also a key giveaway :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xCo... #VR #AR #MR #MixedReality #games

bestinvr.games - look at this! So many great VR games! But my question is - have you even heard about half of them? Have you seen them on Quest store? My claim is - I don't think VR has a problem of poor quality or small amount of games, it's a problem of discoverability.

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 πŸŽ‰ www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xCo...

Tune in on Thursday πŸ™‚ bestinvr.games #VR #AR #MR

Play #VR games. That's all

2024 saw so many good #VR and #MR games! More than 60 studios have a "Thank You" video message to share on 12-12-24. Keep an eye out ❀️

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.
