In 2 hours (Wednesday at 6:30 pm CET), I’m giving a workshop on what’s new in the latest Meta SDK update as part of the Meta Start Program! This update adds some really cool features, including AI building blocks like text to speech, speech to text, object detection, and conversational AI. It also brings improvements to hand tracking, with two new features: locomotion and throwing. During the workshop, we’ll dive into Unity to see how everything is implemented and how you can use these features in your own projects. Join me here 👇 communityforums.atmeta.com/event/start_ev…

@GameOnScorpio @ValemStudio I am !!!

🌟Already at 4.8/5 on Meta ⚙️ Some quick post-launch update ↪️ Smoothturn is in Come read the news: store.steampowered.com/news/app/26547… #gamedev #indiedev #vr #steam #metaquest #wishlistwednesday

It’s been a couple of days since the release of our game Salmon Man. And honestly, having the game finally in the hands of players is the best feeling.😊 But it’s not always stress free. We kind of expected a love hate relationship with the game since it’s quite challenging, and we weren’t too sure how that would reflect in the reviews. Turns out people really seem to love the idea! More importantly, I learned that one thing is inevitable… bugs! • Some players were falling under the map when trying to recenter • The duck was swimming upstream • The worst: we accidentally left a debugging tool in the game that allowed players to teleport Finally, a lot of players asked why we only had snap turn and not smooth turn. So we decided to react quickly! Today, we’re pushing our very first update, fixing all of these issues. And of course, this is just the beginning. We’ll keep improving the game, and with your feedback, it already feels so much easier 😄 If you’d like to try the game, get it here: 👉 Meta Horizon Store: meta.com/en-gb/experien… 👉 Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2654710/Sa…

Salmon Man, un défi VR sans pitié à contre-courant dlvr.it/TQYcLf

@GAMERTAGVR @VRCatalans @Anagan79 we have a debate that this might be the hardest part of the game but it's not punitive! :D

@VRCatalans @ValemVR @Anagan79 This bit was a nightmare

Avui hem començat a viciar al nou Salmon Man de @ValemVR, un nou "joc de fúria" ("rage game"?) en VR estil Gettin' Over It. És excel·lent i amb l'ajuda de Quest Games Optimiser d'@Anagan79 es pot posar a 90Hz per anar més fi a canvi de gastar més bateria [petó de xef]

@SkarredGhost Wow thanks for the review tony !!! it was a bit mitigated in their review but i guess its ok we were expecting some love hate relationship with our game. :D

Salmon Man by @ValemVR was reviewed positively by Upload VR uploadvr.com/salmon-man-rev… #VirtualReality #VR

@VRCatalans @Anagan79 That Slide obstacle is hard! :D thanks for the review feel free to leave one on the store it would mean a lot! :)

@psvrnewsx Not planned at the moment but would love to port it someday. :)

@ValemVR Looks amazing! Do you have a PSVR2 version planned for the future?

Thank you @UploadVR for this article about our newly released game Salmon Man!

@kingsparacosm So AAA VR games or Fun indie game?

I want to preface by saying I love Valem and would not be where I am without him. But, at some point we need to look beyond the minigame-ification of VR. I believe this mindset is the reason we are seeing what we are in the current state of the industry.
