Great fun having a shared experience solving puzzles in SharePlay!

We will now continue sharing behind the scenes screenshots as part of #ScreenshotSaturday.

Celebrating Day 30 of this series with a gameplay recording from a recent hangout with Josh and Oliver. 

It really shows the magic of co-presence on the Apple Vision Pro. ✨

A screenshot of The Green Spurt game side by side with the Large Text Accessibility setting on Apple Vision Pro, with a SwiftUI view extending beyond the equipment.

Building natively using SwiftUI allows us to support Dynamic Type, which is great even though it adds an additional dimension of concerns when working on 3D.

Screenshot of The Green Spurt logo. On the left, a side panel reveals a hidden clue within the USDZ file, with named entries such as “So_you're_seeking_for_clues_,” “While_we_prefer_not_to_provide_any_details__we_believe_that_such_dedication_warrants_a_hint_,” and “Some_things_serve_as_portals__while_others_are_used_to_focus_or_blend___”.

Would it really be an escape room style game, if we didn’t sneak a clue into our logo? 😄
