This is such a fun game. Highly recommended, especially if you're someone that's introducing MR and VR games to for the first time.

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We don’t shy away from sharing our process with the world, because it shows we’re human. We’re imperfect artists who put our all into the work, and we let that passion flow onto every screen around the world 🌊

Tl;dr If it's silly to attempt to solve a semi-complex algebra problem in your head, it's even sillier to try to solve life problems that way. Whip out the paper and pencil

Most problems are actually downstream from a lack of information (clarity/context/etc) and the best way to solve it is to seek specificity and disambiguation as quickly as possible. This goes for art, emotional dilemmas, technical problems and more

I'm continuing work on our OpenXR mixed reality tool called "MR Magic" Here's a screenshot of what that looks like with meta bounding boxes in my room + the tool I made to help me visually debug my surface2surface pathfinding algo Surfaces are nodes connected by edges, which is what's shown :)

While I'm working on the new game my team is working on finishing up Galactic Traffic Control with a 1.0 official release! Plus! Doing some very cool collaborations. Very excited with where we're going and what we're doing.

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 28/07/2025

I can't show anything yet but after 3 months I started working on this again and we're making lots of cool progress! Hopefully something shareable soon. Specifically looking forward to sharing my room-pathing solution in Unity. I'm pretty jazzed with it.

VR + Mini Mode update is out NOW for Galactic Traffic Control! I ❤️ this update. You can play while seated, standing still, on a unicycle, wherever! I like mini-mode even better than room-scale. We also added VR Mode. Quest 2 users, rejoice! Try it! Lmk ur thoughts www.meta.com/experiences/...

For the past week I've been working on a surface-bound pathfinding package in Unity for mixed reality apps. I'm hoping to release it for other devs to use as well once I have it a bit more polished up! Spoilers -- we're in the early days of a tower defense prototype for our next game 👀

Want the XR community's thoughts on this: the way I see it, it would only be good for Meta to support XR development in Godot. I don't see a way in which they wouldn't benefit from this. And while they're at it, maybe they should replace Horizon World's editor. It's very unwieldy.

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 18/12/2024

I constantly feel like a beginner in everything I set out to do. Like I'm constantly re-learning things from first principles every time I set out to make a new game, website, story, etc... And even after the fact it all feels duct-taped together. Not a bad thing maybe, just interesting!

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 18/12/2024

I want to redesign my website again soon to optimize for making it easy to quickly write & post, plus some other stuff. But design-wise, unsure if I should strip it down towards minimalism, or actually go for maximalism. I'm talking an interactive map, VFX, etc

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 13/12/2024

AndroidXR's release solidifies it -- I'm going to have to build all future XR apps using Unity XR Interaction Toolkit. Honestly, I should've done it for GTC too but I wanted to play with Meta's toys

I know on Meta's *only* discontinuing Scoreboard and that technically Leaderboard still works. Ideally, they're going to re-build the scoreboard functionality into the OS and all the other associated APIs will keep working as normal. Just worried about implementing bc of this. Any tips / advice??

The unfortunate truth of a fear of inadequacy is that if you succumb to it, it fulfills itself. The fear makes you pull back, it whittles away at your resolve, makes its basis a reality in many little subtle ways. Because fear, like hope, always seeks to affirm itself
