Spent months solo-developping Fideism, an art game questionning our assumptions about faith. Premiered at the @amazefest.bsky.social Shop-Gallery this year, here is a short vid showcasing my artistic vision and the bespoke VR mechanic I coded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIU_...

i know u r probably looking into blender and the likes atm but you should also consider looking up unity probuilder, that's a really nice tool to build levels quickly and instantly play them

My first shipped project - ASTRA - directed by Eliza McNitt and produced by Atlas V has been quite successfull for mixed-reality : 400+ reviews and ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars on the Meta Quest store, not bad for a narrative-driven project! www.meta.com/en-gb/experi... But you know what impress me even more?

In my latest game Staggered, there is an anthracite-textured clone of your player character that walks towards you - slowly, but constantly. Inspired by Carl Jung's "shadow", the choice is yours to either face it or run away from it. #indiedev #artgame #devlog

Used @vanilagy.bsky.social 's Mediabunny in supermosh.github.io for rendering. Perf gain for most devices (6s -> 0.3s for this video), but most importantly since I don't rely on the live <canvas> recording anymore, the output is deterministic & the same for all devices. Many ppl asked for this :)
