that's the last thing I worked on at meta! bittersweet to see how cool it is, and how i didnt get a chance to help shape the final game that was demo'ed!

Roxy knows the boarder well, its not a kennel or cage situation. They run around in the yard during day I think. She seems happy to be there, when we drop her off she goes pretty easily.

Discovery: Dren McDonald creates a narrative-rich soundtrack for The Otherlands Stay: Forever Home is a virtual pet experience made by Windup Minds. As well as being a charming game; it has a wonderful soundtrack by Dren McDonald.

@windupminds.com soundtrack for @stay-forever-home.com is my current ambient working music, it could be yours too! yorkcalling.co.uk/2025/07/30/d...

Heheh I'd argue a technical artist or a modeler also "builds" :-)
The idea that only engineers build is a silicon valley conceit.

on my team everyone's a developer, do you mean engineers? so not technical designers or prototypers?

A virtual pet gets in the way of game development the same way a real-life pet gets in the way of household chores. The most surprising thing that sometimes slows us down.

Quest 2 compat has been... a bear. But, some workarounds to low level issues outside of our control, and now you can play with the best virtual pet ever made!

TX Rep explaining Jesusโ€™ teachings. I am not a person of faith, but these are solid moral values, and I appreciate hearing them from a Christian.

Hate to vaguepost but just saw an amazing AAA pitch from a women-led studio for a game that most certainly would pass the Bechdel test or whatever the equivalent is for games. I hope it gets made, because I'd play it.

LOL Roxy's DNA was 35% "mutt" (tangled mix) PLUS: GSD, Chihuahua, Shih-Tzu, Rottie... mostly cautious/small circle of trust group dogs!

Roxy has no interest in howling. When I howl, she barely seems to notice!
