I was a huge fan of Manifold Garden, and love VR games that experiment with natural locomotion like Unseen Diplomacy or Eye of the temple, so getting this is a no-brainer!
Hotel Infinity launches today on Meta Quest & PS VR2!

It's a roomscale VR experience built around natural locomotion. Every step you take in real life moves you through the game

Thank you all for playing 🙌

"[Cubism] creates a state of immersion in the act of “thinking itself.”

Really nice article on Cubism by XR Film Guide!

The work Cubism introduced this time is quite unusual among the pieces previously covered in the XR Film Guide, as it contains almost no…

Rolled out a first patch to address some initial issues I've seen in Laser Dance since the launch.
More improvements on the way soon!
Patch 0.12.12 is out now, with some tweaks and bugfixes!

Here's the change log:
- Fixed an issue where the game would not start correctly if your save file is corrupted
- Fixed an issue where the buttons could suddenly change position
- Made it easier to unlock some of the later challenges

If you give Laser Dance a try this weekend, be sure to leave an honest review!
It helps a ton in the first few days 🙏

Also shout out to everyone who submitted feedback or bug reports, I'm already working on the first patch now!

I got a notification that Laser Dance hit early access. This looks fantastic! What a great use of mixed reality. In a separate video, the dev talks about accessibility, too, which is great cos my body sure as heck can’t do what’s shown in the trailer! youtu.be/eQq6l48HZt0

Wow! ♥️

"Little Critters does many things right. It minds the little details. The game is frenetic, accessible, and fun. And it just works, in the way Steve Jobs famously described the magic of early iPhone devices… this “tower defense” game brings the tower home."
Little Critters delivers an accessible tower defense game in mixed reality today on Quest 3 and 3S.

Proper use of XR, not yet another flat overlay but instead a (super fun) immersive experience leveraging YOUR space 👌
