When you consider this work alongside the awesome volumetric ideas of @notsuspicioushq.bsky.social & @tovanbo.bsky.social it is like these developers are building for a mixed reality platform that isn’t architected (yet) just for these kinds of ideas.
Platforms must shift to meet devs here.
May the HORSE be with you 🐎
I did the trailer and sfx for this game. Go wishlist it, NEIGH-bour!

For @thinkygames.com's #ThinkyCon jam, I made The Daily Spell, a daily puzzle with an ongoing narrative. ✨
My goal was to combine satisfying word puzzling with a story you'll be excited to see unfold. Try it and let me know what you think!

We’re currently targeting Quest 3 / 3S, but will try for a Quest 2 version if there’s enough interest. The game is designed for hand tracking first, but controllers will be supported!

When you finally catch wind of that bastard that tried to throw you off a mountain as a baby.
Someone wearing a device on the beach won’t be cause for concern because we’ll know how powerful and enriching the tool is.
In the future, I hope we use this technology to stay present in the real world while enjoying experiences that are only possible with natural input and scene awareness. And I hope we evolve our understanding of mixed reality devices to be more than escapism.
Someone said, “That’s sad” as they walked by. Why would I escape to the metaverse when I could be watching the beautiful sunset in front of me? I was wearing a Quest 3 with passthrough enabled, so they didn’t know I could see the sunset.
