WIP: Open palm to show the palette of pieces. Grab a unit/defense and place it. This is what it looks like w/ about 300 units placed.

Thankful for Unity's ECS/DOTS & Meta's spacewarp feature for making this performance possible. Recorded on Meta Quest 3.

Ahh gecko poop in the computer. At least it means they're eating the bugs.

Imagine a Game Jam… but in a Castle…
That's Castle Game Jam!

And for it to make its comeback in 2026, we need at least 100 reservations to make the event a reality, so if you would like to embark on a week-long Game Dev journey filled with whimsical fun, head over to www.castlegamejam.com

WIP: More finger slingshot action w/ hand-tracking in #XR. Smoother and the rubber band conforms to the object being launched. Also there's fun sounds! #GameDev #HandTracking

My monitor turned off (idle power saving mode) right when that third slingshot block hit it! It was purely coincidental timing.

Something really unexpected & spooky happened when I was recording a little demo video for some hand-tracked #XR interactions for finger flicking & sling-shot gestures on the #MetaQuest3. Watch til the end...

They must like the extra warmth of gaming PCs. They usually hang out behind the fridge where it's extra warm. It's probably more common in tropical places. Many geckos here in Hawaii. I hear them inside my home late at night during their mating season. They eat all the bugs, poop, and then leave.

Something my friend David Snopek is working on, make sure you watch till the end because the first part of the video is looking at functionality we already have.

Live editing in VR by manipulating objects in VR space. It's early days but has so much potential!

I was cleaning/dusting my computer case, and from those droppings on my graphics card, I think a lizard might have been using my graphics card as its toilet! I hope it's been eating the bugs at least.

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.
Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared."

The hypocrisy from Trump's FCC Chair is staggering but unsurprising.

It should be clear by now that to MAGA, protecting freedom of speech was always secondary to wielding the power to punish anyone who questions this regime.

Sign that says "Wonder what you'd do during the rise of fascism? You're doing it now."

I made this protest sign back in April. Now it's September, and late night hosts are being silenced for being critical of the regime. In America, we've now arrived at the point where the government decides what you can laugh at.

Yes. Do you happen to also have strong high-index glasses? I find that it makes the chromatic aberration effect more intense.
