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

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 29/09/2025

writing this because I'm feeling really stuck and had to bust out the journal to start hashing out a path forward for my studio

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 29/09/2025

Once you write it all down, the chances are that a solution, or at least a path to a solution, become much more reachable and your problems become a lot smaller!

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 29/09/2025

Journaling & writing (making art in general, even, but specifically writing down your problems) is incredible cognitive tech bc it forces you to make your problems, which are nebulous and large and looming in your head, into concrete, specific words

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 29/09/2025

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

So far: - Surfacebound Pathing -Surface Snapping - Surface Queries (Get surface of label X and type Z, or GetSpawnInRoom) - Surface Zones (configure "valid" surface areas) - Configurable Surface Grids (using this to smooth out pathing rn) Want to add oct-trees next for better performance & pathing!

But for now, here's the path that's represented by the nodes in the first post. You can see that it goes Wall11 -> Floor -> Table2Right -> Table2Top and the corresponding nodes are highlighted in gold in both the 2D and 3D view

Juan Lam @juanlam.com · 06/09/2025

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 👀

My reading goals this year are: - More Ursula K Le Guin (always her!) - Latin American books, read in Spanish (need to work those muscles more -- Borges, Allende, Marquéz) - Russian Lit (was gifted Master & Margarita, want more Russians) - Tolkien - Mythology (Odyssey?) - Rushdi And ofc, Calvino

I was tempted into buying and I LOVE it. I spend all day making games and working on my desktop PC, so I don't really want to spend my free time there, even if I do want to play games. Steam Deck has been a great investment. I finished Outer Wilds on it finally! Playing Hades now & Dave the Diver
