See you D.I.C.E where I'll be doing my best to hold together a roundtable about the state of VR. My hope is that everyone who participates leaves with a new insight that helps to shape how they navigate what is going to be a WILD year for people making games for headsets.

Exactly one month ago @laserdancegame.bsky.social launched in early access on Quest๐Ÿ™Œ

It's been a busy month of gathering feedback and pushing out patches, but very happy with the initial response to the game :)

Here are some stats from the first month:

"Deadly Delivery is a clever, effective, and genuinely funny VR co-op that nails the feel of physical play in a spooky, comic world." (4/5 stars)

Since the first prototype that Flat Head showed to us, we knew Deadly Delivery was special. In every playtest, both myself and @dnorco.bsky.social would always leave with a big smile.

Congratulations @phillovanillo.bsky.social @derdani16.bsky.social @wellemelle.bsky.social DD is fucking awesome <3

A goblin dressed up as a pirate holds up six fingers in front of a lava waterfall. There are five fingers on one hand, and one finger on the other hand. It's the bad finger. The text on the image says "Six Days Left".

Listen, counting on VR fingers is hard. There's wasn't another good way to get six fingers, ok?!

Anyways, six days left, goblins!
