After nearly a decade of development, I am very excited to finally announce Desolus! Explore a city of Gothic architecture torn between past and future in Desolus, a first person puzzle game.

Finally

@DesolusDev We playtested DESOLUS and our playtester loved the dimension-swapping mechanic — called it 'so fun' and 'amazing' right from the start. Full session here: youtube.com/watch?v=zGNzSl…

3/ Desolus from @DesolusDev is a mind-bending puzzle adventure game inspired by Myst and Gothic architecture, where you rearrange the world by reaching through black holes and portals. It's wild.

@nicholasmc1 @ID_Xbox Indeed it does!

@DesolusDev @ID_Xbox Does this mean desolus will be finished eventually/soon?!

@samloeschen Ah ok, wasn't sure if you were specifically looking for CPU based or not. I'm unsure then.

@DesolusDev ah I remember this, very cool but GPU based :( definitely looking for a CPU solution I could just drop in. This is for little stuff like footfalls and such, it's just that Shuriken's poor performance was a real problem on the last project

has anyone made a drop in, performant CPU particle system replacement for Unity? I just see people using Shuriken or VFX Graph. Considering just rolling my own for our next project but figured I'd see if there's anything Good out there

Excited to announce "Hotel Infinity", a game where you explore a mysterious hotel in roomscale #VR It's a follow-up to Manifold Garden and builds on a lot of the same ideas (portals, impossible spaces, etc) Launching in 2025 for #PSVR2 and #MetaQuest3 hotelinfinityvr.com
