Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I don't love the "where's my flying car?" argument. But. Doesn't it seem like Unity ought to have bake zones. Or bake preview. By now? A few years ago I thought by now I would be inside of my scenes in VR adding objects and behaviors with my virtual hands. So it seems like baking should be better. 011

Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Ready for a Jedi Mind Trick at WWDC where Apple pretends the Vision does not exist and never did. We have always been at war with East Asia. - Side note. Why is it so hard for people to understand that was VR needs to kick off is content. It's not the hardware holding things back. 000
Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 04/06/2026This is a project after my own heart. (That would be better in VR!) 000
Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Is Claude a surrealist modernist? Or did he fundamentally misunderstand the intention of the teacup assignment? 000
Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 03/06/2026If you are still sh*tting on AI for creative work. Talk to me about how you can take 2d human input and get results like this out. This is not slop. It's something new. And exciting. 000

Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I'm working with Claude in Unity trying to figure out a lighting issue. And without me asking it makes a contact sheet of the movie. It looks like a Pixar color story. I love Claude more than some family members. 042
Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Today is a really fun day for me! After many years of working on making a theme park style VR dark ride. We finally have an early access demo to try. If you want to give it a shot, it would be great. It's free!

Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Working on a VR game I occasionally... you know, search for "VR" on here and then think wtf is this industry right now? VR can transport you anywhere you want to go, and that's what you pick? -Cool, do your thing I guess. 160

Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Check out the tip of the iceberg. The other tip, the bottom tip. From the ride we're building all of in one week. We have a theme where there are very large statues that extend outside of the bounds of the physical spaces you occupy, hinting at more. #darkride 000
Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 15/12/2025This week in our last week before going on holiday break. We're trying to build an entire theme park dark ride for VR -in a week. One week. We've done it before, but crossing our collective fingers that we can pull it off again. This year's theme is "The Oracle." 010

Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Minor milestone for the team. But it's proof that we can ship a game (that's very small and on just one platform and etc.) But how many people have made a little world you can strap to your own eyes and be inside of. VR is still magic. 061

Joe @crashlanded.bsky.social · 05/09/2025To be fair. No offense to the "marketing department" but you can't eat any of this in VR. Which is a limitation imo. 030
