Not "very close" anymore! Escape From Mandrillia is out of early access and the staggering amount of work @germanban.bsky.social has poured into it really makes it a special project, one I am so happy to see reach Full Release! Go PC vs. VR games!!
Well, let's try this out lol

I'm developing a game (very close to get out of Early Access!)

It combines VR and "flat" gameplay; full horror for the VR player, hunted by the PC player(s). It has giant alien Mandrills!

You can get it on Steam at steam.pm/app/1936360

As devs, there are many reasons to love Gamescom : opportunities, friends, parties... But above all, I love meeting other passionate developers and listen to them talk about their work, it always reminds me why we do this, and I leave the halls with renewed enthusiasm.

So here, meet a few of them:

Just a heads-up, we're planning a small quality of life update later this year! We're working on several projects at the same time, but we want to give Silhouette some love too!
This is one of the most unique VR game I've played in a while. It is called Silhouette, a relaxing puzzler where you cast shadows with your hands to solve challenges.

Finished reading Heart: The City Beneath by @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social (after rewatching the amazing review by @itsquinns.bsky.social ) and rarely have I found a setting so evocative, and gave such an urge to run it as a GM! Kudos!

It's been a hot minute since I have been as obsessed with a game as I currently am with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is basically all I think about since finishing it a few days ago...

Waking up to the news of Polygon being sold and its staff laid off is the worst... For years it has been one of my favorite gaming and culture-relatef news source. Best of luck to everyone affected!

Or is it a "Teleporthrowtion" tool?

I'm always available if you ever need dumb ways to name something!
Locomotion in virtual reality is always a interesting problem.

Our solution? The "Telesphere" ⚾!

Throw it, and you can teleport to wherever it lands. A "locoportation" or "throwlomotion" device if you will indulge our overuse of portmanteau words!

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

"If you can see it, you can reach it" with the added prescription of "if you can throw the sphere far enough"! Or if...
Look! Our public debut! Cannot wait to share more about the game with everyone!
Skystranded by @teampanoptes.bsky.social is a VR game where you can throw teleporter balls and warp to them. The goal is to explore the world. If you can see it, you can reach it.
