We designed this game to be full of delightfully silly MR moments that turn any room into a playground. I'm incredibly proud of what the team at Schell Games built on this title, and I hope it inspires players and developers alike to think outside the box of what's possible in Mixed Reality.

In addition to getting a plush for yourself, I'd also recommend donating one to @childsplaycharity.bsky.social who will give it to kids at their partnered children's hospitals! Just set the shipping address to:

Child's Play Charity
9660 153rd Ave NE

I now have 2 GDCs with 2 talks under my belt, and María has 1 GDC with 1 talk. Let's see if we go 3-for-3 and 2-for-2 next year! 🤞😜

We helped design a multiplayer party game at Schell Games, "Party Versus", which revealed an incredible amount of untapped potential for social spaces in #MixedReality that we'd love to share with you.

Our session is at 1:20 PM on Tuesday in Room 2002, West Hall. Join us for the party there! 🥳🎉

Major shout out to @junehs.bsky.social, @sleepymaya.bsky.social, Sam Edwards, Jesse Schell, and Ron Weaver for their part in telling this Toontastic tale.

Additionally, thanks to @wired.com's own resident Toon, J. Clara Chan, for doing such thorough research and shaing Toontown's inspiring story!

It seems that even the folks at Disney understand this: We've been running the game for over a decade now, and they deserve a lot more credit than they get for silently acknowledging the good that Toontown does by holding back their Lawbots.

I've been working with @toontownrewritten.com for 11 years, and I'm still pinching myself as if I'm dreaming. It's a rare privilege to work on a game that spans across multiple generations and provides so much good to the world.
