the making of Donkey Kong and Killer Instinct. youtube.com/watch?v=_LPu7g… We own so much to @Kev_Bayliss

@sfaok @crashlandvr It's still coming, right? RIGHT?!

Here's a sneak peek at @crashlandvr's first underwater mission "Shallow Grave". Featuring Leeches and Skulkers, which cloak and blind you with ink. Feels very claustrophobic, tense and full of jump scares! WIP

Do you recognise anything here? 👀 We've been hard at work on the new wave of JDM cars for Downtown Club, among other features. Please wait for more news later on! #vr #metaquest #picoxr

Well that was a nice Nintendo Direct!

@Kev_Bayliss This is unfair, you still rocks man.

Because this time it was done by real artists lol

To anyone still wondering why some devs want to move on from VR, this blog post is a good (yet foggy) answer. Meta wants to pursue and focus on mobile F2P market, so we will just adapt by moving somewhere else. Not every dev wants to be forced to make F2P social games to live.

I just gave a GDC talk about what's going on with the Quest Ecosystem and where we think it's going next. If you couldn't make it, don't worry! It's back! In blog form. developers.meta.com/horizon/blog/g…

Prove tecniche di regime

@GiorgiaMeloni Si chiamano naufraghi. Piantatela di attaccare la magistratura su queste cose e prendetevi la responsabilità delle vostre politiche fallimentari visto che buttate solo soldi.

@Agenzia_Ansa Trump è il peggio coglione

Dopo il duro scontro, la conferenza stampa tra i due leader è stata ovviamente annullata. "Può tornare quando sarà pronto per la pace", ha scritto Trump su Truth accusando Zelensky "di aver mancato di rispetto agli Stati Uniti" #ANSA ow.ly/zZMb50V8y7R

Tenetevi forte, fortissimo, perché Francesco Lollobrigida è tornato con una nuova perla. Il ministro dell’Agricoltura ha deciso di scagliarsi contro le etichette di avvertenza su vini e alcolici con un’argomentazione geniale: “Anche l’acqua fa male. L’abuso di acqua può portare alla morte: immaginate mettere un’etichettatura allarmistica sull’acqua?”. Ma certo, ministro. E infatti ogni anno decine di migliaia di persone finiscono in ospedale per aver bevuto troppa Ferrarelle. O per cirrosi acquatica. O per incidenti stradali stradali causati da overdose di San Benedetto. E non si contano i tumori al fegato provocati dall’abuso di Levissima. Nel mondo reale, purtroppo, l’alcol è una delle principali cause di tumori, dipendenze, malattie cardiache. E lo dicono i medici, non qualche “euroburocrate” nemico del prosecco. Ma per la destra meloniana anche la scienza è un complotto e bere responsabilmente è comunista. Forse, oltre che su tabacco e alcolici, servirebbe un’etichetta per proteggerci dalle dichiarazioni quotidiane di Lollobrigida e del Governo Meloni.

🚨 Downtown Club 1.1.0 Core Update is AVAILABLE NOW! Enjoy better car handling, improved opponents AI, simpler game economy, smoother performance, and a lot more. The full changelog is available in-game and in the official website. See you on the racetrack!

📢 Downtown Club 1.1.0 "Core Update" will be available later this week! This version will bring tons of improvements to the core experience. And if you already own the game, you will unlock this special suit once it updates!

I see some positive things in the leaked @boztank memo, but I worry that the top level strategic direction is flawed. “We need to drive sales, retention, and engagement across the board but especially in MR. And Horizon Worlds on mobile absolutely has to break out for our long term plans to have a chance.” Why would you say “especially in MR”? Mixed Reality is seen by some as a stepping stone to the future fantasy AR world that justifies all past losses, so it gets more focus than it objectively deserves. A good pass-through video background makes sense for lots of apps, and this has delivered real user value. Adapting simulated experiences to the physical world has made for compelling demos, but there are fundamental experience design reasons why it is harder to make mainstream experiences with long term retention that way. Developers should be aware of where it can be a positive user experience, and may choose to bend their designs somewhat to take advantage when it makes sense, but setting out to “make an MR app” instead of “make a valuable app” is already a step off the path of steepest value ascent. I’m always ready to have the market show me to be in error, but I don’t think it has. “And Horizon Worlds on mobile absolutely has to break out for our long term plans to have a chance.” You have just assigned infinite value to one outcome, which encourages everyone to favor marginal improvements there over larger improvements elsewhere. If you had stopped at “We need to drive sales, retention, and engagement across the board”, and added “above all else”, it would have been a great memo!

@TeamBeefVR Is Doom3 expansion port out yet?

We're preparing a new early-access update for #Quake4 #VR. The game should now be 100 % completable. With all vehicles working and stroggification 😱☠️scene fixed + Lots of QoL fixes. We can't wait for you to play the full campaign without interruptions! #Quake4 #VR #Quake4XR

Turns out that we are once again in the middle of a rather bizarre "culture war", this time from the opposite side than usual :) So here's a statement, but I'd hate to spoil the plot of the game for the sake of it.

🚨 1.1.0 Core Update BETA is available NOW! This is an almost complete preview of the Core Update, featuring lots of improvements to the base game, and some final bugs to fix. We are gathering feedback and reports in the official Discord server, join us! #vr #metaquest

i joked that virtua fighter looks like the true tobal sequel but it’s true. the tobal series was made by an original VF designer who wanted to push realistic blocking animations. the genre largely abandoned that pursuit for decades until just recently

A very merry Christmas from the team! 🎄🎁 Take care and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year with your loved ones. #vr #metaquest
