Quick Insights from 'Lost City' on AVP: - Porting games with single-input to AVP is a breeze. Just switch the input to a pinch. - Placing game instructions at the top of the screen can disrupt the user experience (it triggers the top menu to open) #AppleVisionPro #MixedReality

- BTW, it's not a game. It progresses no matter what actions I take. (except first one - fist + palm) - Since the goal is to create content for fans, it doesn't need to be a game. Just being in the same space as 'my favorite character' is incredibly appealing. (2/2)

- The graphics are insane... The fur detail is mind-blowing. - Adding 3D effects to only certain parts of the space is super cool. It allows you to focus rendering resources on one area without losing the benefits of MR.(1/2) #AppleVisionPro #AVP #MR

Just published: 'One Month Since Joining an XR Game Startup.' Expecting an XR boom or spatial computing? Hmm... I might have seen an opportunity that others missed... Find out on my Substack!😆 #startup #XR #spatialcomputing open.substack.com/pub/thecrit/p/…

Key takeaways: Don't just post the gameplay on Tiktok and call it a day. Mix with trendy contents (now viral on Tiktok). We all know, games have to be fun to play, videos have to be fun to WATCH! #GameDev #Tiktok #ContentsMarketing reddit.com/r/gamedev/comm…

Just kicked off a new MR game sprint focused on a unique twist: wrecking 'my space'. 🚀 Gonna start by smashing walls with my all-time favorite move: a punch. 🥊 Been at it since last Thursday and it's my first dive into Unity development - and I'm loving it. #MR #GameDev #Unity

Of course, we can never be sure about hitting the Global Max. But, as our 'number of iterations' increases, so does our data and our insights. The more we iterate, the closer we get to the Global Max. #VR #MR #gamedev

Our mission at KapeHorn for the MR team is to explore the potential of MR. The truth is, no one in this world knows the full extent of MR's possibilities. We're pioneers on this path. It's not about stopping at the Local Max of MR Content; we must strive to reach the Global Max.

Thanks to #MAnimal Controller, Our Dragon get AWESOME attack animations👍

Dying isn't a setback; it's an immediate chance to retry, making you want to keep going. There's no cognitive overload; the game's a series of short, fun battles. Fresh and thrilling on the first go, and even better when you replay and master the strategy. 🎮 #VR #game #review

Loving that this game ditches the joystick 🕹️ and nails the gun/knife balance perfectly – usually, you'd stick to one, but here, you gotta switch it up since each enemies can only be taken down with specific weapons. 🔫🗡️ The upbeat soundtrack keeps the energy high, and..

What's the secret sauce to making characters irresistibly cute? Big heads? Sparkly eyes? 🤔 My team's diving into the world of MR, creating a game where you raise your very own dragon right in your room! Any tips or magic ingredients you swear by? 🐉✨ #GameDev #MR #CuteDragons

Absolutely loving the DX on Vision Pro—it's giving Flutter vibes, which is hands down the easiest framework I've ever tackled. Apple's really stepping up the game in empowering creators. 🚀 The simpler the creation process, the richer the content. #VisionPro #CreatorEconomy 🔥

An iconic game that created the XR trend of "gimmick first, then add substance". Gtag's locomotion is top-notch, reminiscent of CS's bunnyhop or MineCraft's jump maps. ++ Its SOCIAL play is awesome. Well done #GTag!🙉

Ultimately, limiting input is akin to creating a framework for thought. We have had to use tools to confine our sensory system because we could not utilize it directly as input. How much communication cost and productivity loss have occurred because of this?🤪 (3/3)

Finally! Users can be completely free from cognitive barriers regarding input. (Of course, there are still tracking limitations, but this is a 'technical' issue, not a 'value' issue. Technical issues can be resolved.) (2/3)

#VisionPro The only means of input available to the user are eye, hand, and the right-side launch button. This implies that until now, complex input tools like keyboards or pads were used due to the inability to utilize these simpler methods..👇(1/3)

Why even bother…
