Just landed and got my #MetaConnect badge!
The last few weeks have been among the most intense weeks of my entire life, but I am sooooo excited to finally share what I’ve been working on with y’all on the 18th! 😉

Elysian.fun just got picked up by @uploadvr.com !!

Surreal to see my game featured. #WebXR let’s go!!

Elysian on Meta Quest Shield. Rocket. Charge. Fire. Step into Elysian, a fast-paced VR shooter where you become a battle-hardened robot on the deep-space battle frontier, facing off against rogue drones and rival combatant...

This represents a fundamental shift in XR distribution. Players can try Elysian instantly in browser (zero downloads!), then get it on Horizon Store for easier access. WebXR now competes with native apps on equal footing 🎮 www.meta.com/experiences/...

The journey here feels surreal.
Started as my weekend obsession 2+ years ago—a playground for WebXR experiments. WebRTC mesh networking for multiplayer, runtime navmesh generation for AI pathfinding. Building in the open connected me with an incredible community 🥹 #GameDev

🚀🤩 IT'S HAPPENING! Elysian is officially live as the first-ever #WebXR #PWA to ship on the Meta Horizon Store! This has been, in more ways than one, a dream come true—though I'm equal parts thrilled and terrified shipping my first game to a store 😅

Excited to speak about my game Elysian and share insights on WebXR development at the #WebXR Mixer during #GDC! If you are in town, I'd love to see you there and connect. Completely free and only a few tickets left 🔗 eventbrite.com/e/viverse-we...
