Hotel Infinity comes out tomorrow for Meta Quest & PS VR2

It is a roomscale VR experience where you explore a vast environment simply by walking. Every step you take in real life moves you through the game, and no teleportation and joystick movement is required.

This is the first time I ever thought “Wow - that guy probably deserved to be a billionaire”

This feature on a website and product like this is not "act now before it sells out" but more like "you and 9 other sad humans are shopping online for mundane stuff". I hope they're having more fun than I am.

Happy Gilmore 2 is a worthy sequel. Sure, I’m a Sandler fanboy, and mostly it’s a guilty pleasure, but it was an entertaining return to a Happy Place. I’d watch it again.

The affordable google cloud VMs all default to around 4Gb of RAM. It should pop up an error when you try to set a boot disk to any version of Windows without adjusting that. Imagine setting that up and trying to run Unity...

Watched the recently released Snow White. I had super low expectations based on overall reception, but it was far worse than I was prepared for. There is no live action Disney remake anywhere near as bad as this one. I honestly can't think of a worse remake. Unsure why this was made.

Recently watched the new How to Train Your Dragon. It's a great story because it matches the original animated version nearly beat for beat. The original animation is better in every way - though the new Toothless looks fantastic. Unsure why this was made.

Happy to have this trailer out there for the world to see what we've been working on! The tech we've put together here is going to make for a really cool VR experience.

Got my Switch 2 and played Mario Kart til 3am. Responsible adulting.

@misterbigpants.bsky.social achievement unlocked! Jeff Minter played your game! Love this for you.
Had a go on Endlight.

Really quite Space Giraffe. In a visual way, not in a shooty way.

Announcing Spooky Express!

Plan the train route for the world’s spookiest theme park! Pick up the monsters & drop them at their destinations. But be careful! Don’t let them bite the passengers or you’ll have a grave problem.

Went to our Hands Off protest in South Royalton VT. Couple hundred people there and a speaker that was at Selma Civil Rights marches! Pretty amazing turnout for our town of around 2,700. Bonus inclusion of the Gilmore Girls intro Gazebo.

Katamari Damacy Rolling Live on Apple TV with a controller feels every bit as good as the other games in the series. Definitely recommend it to fans (iOS version supports a controller too).

Can’t stop humming the songs…

This is all it's gonna take right now. The head of the DoE (Linda McMahon) will comply with this executive order and begin shutting it down. By the time any courts show any willingness to step in, all critical personnel will be gone. And even then, all funding will be turned off by DOGE as well.
Trump on the Department of Education: "We're gonna shut it down and shut it down as quickly as possible. It's doing us no good. We want to return our students to the states."

Bonfire Peaks is done!
We finished what we set out to make and gosh it took a lot longer than i expected. I’ll be supporting the game for a long while but as a creative project, it’s complete. I can’t wait to share the remaining lost memories. 🙂

I have news re: a different game first, stay tuned

Excited to announce that our new game, The Electrifying Incident, launches in April!

In this monster mini-expedition, you'll explore the facility, avoid live electricity & repair a malfunctioning reactor.

Severance is so good. Spoiler free - I felt like this latest ep 2-4 was filler - but it pretty much scrambled me by the end. If it can somehow sustain this to the end it could be my favorite non-comedy ever.

We've been Target Red Card holders sine 2013 - spending probably a couple thousand there in the past 12 years. Today we cancelled our accounts and told them it was due to their stance against Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It's a small message, but apparently they need to hear it.
