Neolithic Dawn

Not doing anything this afternoon? Hop in our State of Neolithic Dawn livestream on Discord! 🙌 We’ll be streaming from inside the game talking about the roadmap for 2026, what we’ve been working on recently, and taking questions from the community! #gamedev #vr #meta

@almcla26 @PolygonPeasant @3DxDEV7 Use for what? I guess you could wrap it around a low poly head to have some retro Golden Eye style face texture on a dummy, but not usable in any modern game dev workflow.

@PolygonPeasant @3DxDEV7 What do you mean it's unusable slop? You can definitely use this map yes it needs some touching up but you can use it.

AI just turned a photo of a face into a 3D texture. I need you to see this.

@FutureJurvetson @GoogleDeepMind Controversial opinion: it is possible and actually smart to NOT be an AI company in 2026. None are profitable. It makes business sense to dominate a more niche market (like Meta has done in VR for nearly a decade) and not constantly pivot. Best VR company > worst AI company

Subtext: how Zuck’s obsession with VR lost him AI leadership and “the greatest deal Google ever made.” “if Facebook didn’t buy DeepMind, they would end up in the arms of Google. Hassabis came out to the West Coast to have lunch with Larry Page, still the strongest suitor. Zuckerberg got wind of his visit and invited him to dinner. Arriving at Zuckerberg’s Palo Alto home, Hassabis administered a subtle test on him. The two men discussed the potential of AI, and Zuckerberg expressed appropriate excitement. But then, as the dinner continued, Hassabis brought up other hot technologies: virtual reality, augmented reality, 3-D printing. Zuckerberg sounded equally excited about all of them. ‘That told me what I needed to know,’ Hassabis said. ‘Facebook offered more money, but I wanted somebody who really understood why AI would be bigger than all these other things.’ After the dinner, Hassabis got back to Larry Page. ‘Let’s go further,’ he told him.” — book excerpt from today’s WSJ: wsj.com/tech/ai/deepmi… Zuck’s misplaced devotion to VR and the metaverse hurt the company much more than the $80 billion of wasted spend. It’s the reputational hit. @DemisHassabis divined it in his final test, and Zuck didn’t even know that he blew the opportunity. Eight years later, he renamed the company Meta, doubling down on what anyone with tech savvy knew was DOA. Then, in a 2025 attempt to play catchup, Zuck spent $14 billion on a data labelling company with a salesy leader and upended his AI team. Once again, anyone with tech savvy rolled their eyes on the acquisition and management changes, further evidence that the tech leadership at Meta was seriously lacking. TLDR; beware the metaverse. It is a dystopian vision at best, and luckily for humanity, headsets are still nowhere near readiness for mass adoption.

Let’s go!🚀

@MannyCalavera12 @bmfshow But “metaverse“ the abstract concept is not over or shutting down. Only Meta Horizon Worlds specifically is over and shutting down, and it was arguably the least popular Metaverse

@bmfshow It’s just poorly worded but correct. Metaverse is over and shuttering soon. Thats what they mean by VR platform. They never said Quest is done.

I have no idea who this is but they have over 3 million followers and apparently like to spread lies without doing research 🤷‍♂️. No wonder people are freaking out when people with this type of following are spreading misinformation.

@alexplaysvg @SkarredGhost They spent maybe $100 million total on horizon, and $79.9/80 billion on all the rest of reality labs including the development of the hardware for all quest and meta Rayban smart glasses devices and about a dozen first party VR game studios.

@SkarredGhost It depends on how much went into horizon. It’s my understanding a good amount did. Meta is so strange because they were able to recognize great projects like RE4 and Batman but somehow thought their VR clone could be a centerpiece of the their devices.

This is how I felt reading the tech press and hanging around social media the past week... #VirtualReality #VR #Meta #metaverse

@purplemikey Love it! Maybe a tracking ability?

@NeolithicVRGame visions. (ideally after drinking something specific) Seeing the location of an item or creature that is away from me to give me a mission/reason to explore. I don't think I would want super powers unless they made sense. If they are added, can they be de-activated? 🫣

If you could have one superpower in Neolithic Dawn, what would it be?🤔

@AmigaGuruBlog @UploadVR Planned but no official date yet 🙏

@NeolithicVRGame @UploadVR Is this planned for PS VR2?
