one of the best @godotengine templates now just works with - getting better every week!.
new in โ immersive space + head-tracking-relative gamepad = passthrough visionpro platforming! feels good :). (thx @KenneyNL for the brilliant starter project)

@qoouep @jenistyping comes in hot, starts initiatives, re-traces the steps of and learns all the lessons the existing team learned over the previous year, loses momentum, arrives at the same dead-end they were hired to fix, moves on to another struggling company (maybe with a bump in title).

learning how to use @godotengine nav meshes & nav agents to add evil spider enemies. still figuring out exactly what this game is! there aren't any adventure old-school-zelda-like games built specifically for Vision Pro yet, so that's the general direction.

what an experience! i presented on building for Vision Pro with @godotengine (including a live demo on stage).
Another magical way to build a fantastic game on top of an open source game engine, @AdamWatters recommends Godot!

@NickADobos streaming Godot meshes and textures to RealityKit - repo coming soon! basically: make a scene in Godot and it'll run (with gestures etc) in a VisionOS volume. @kevinwatters and i are working on getting it into somewhat usable shape for other folks this week.

Fish Chat is real! It's a silly game where you control your fish by tilting your head and open your mouth to eat falling food. I'll be hanging out in here for the next hour or so - if you have a Vision Pro, come say hi.

ok! starting a thread of everything in the Vision Pro app store under the search "games" (currently 106 apps in there). in no particular order, but if you're a dev - reply with your game and i'll try to get to it sooner than later. now first up. .

loved the backpack pig so much i put him into a level. cant wait until there's an api for this!!!
Happy to announce DreamFusion, our new method for Text-to-3D!. We optimize a NeRF from scratch using a pretrained text-to-image diffusion model. No 3D data needed!. Joint work w/ the incredible team of @BenMildenhall @ajayj_ @jon_barron. #dreamfusion

learned a ton watching everyone figure out Defend Cow Castle in this persona chat - cool way to play-test!.
finally a free open-source game engine for Vision Pro. @AdamWatters built the first @godotengine game on VisionOS called Defend Cow Castle. now he's pioneering more with check out his SpaceTime with @cosmoscharf later this week to learn more

Visiting Beijing in a few weeks talk about using @godotengine to build for Vision Pro ๐ค๐ฅฝ.
What are the alternatives to RealityKit and Unity?. A new venture often brings new problems, but that didn't stop Adam Watters from sticking with his idea of making games using open source engines. As co-founder of Threezy Studio, Adam chose Godot to create game content for the

lol i captured a spatial video from on stage after the demo - it worked pretty well! now any time i need a confidence boost i can relive the moment and feel important (. maybe that's an app idea ๐ค)

psyched for this experiment!. if you're curious about making games for visionOS with Godot, come join us next friday. btw @cosmoscharf is doing a very cool thing getting people together for spatial chats with vision pro. even if you're not interested in GodotVision, you should.
I'm thrilled to announce the first community SpaceTime!. @AdamWatters will present GodotVision, a new way to create games for Apple Vision Pro using open-source game engine @godotengine! . Only three spots available 4/26 1pm et! RSVP link below ๐

Planning to try every made-for-Vision game in the app store tonight, but so far, my favorite thing is Lego Builders Journey by @LightBrickGames. The controls feel natural, it's beautiful, and playing it is super relaxing. ๐

@PuzzlingPlaces @tribandtweets @Soaring_Roc 5) Whereโs Ploppy by @michael_temper - extremely well done โspot the thingโ game that makes good use of 3D space. This is one to show your kids if you have them! $9.99 - well worth it - support an indie dev blazing the trail on AVP.

@PuzzlingPlaces @tribandtweets @Soaring_Roc @michael_temper @mouri45 @synthridersvr 9) New day, more Vision Pro games. @loona_app is currently the most reviewed app in the category with 198 reviews (4.5 stars). Itโs another chill puzzle game, and itโs lovely. Thereโs a cute little blue character you can poke. 10/10 recommend trying the free puzzle.

our app is still fundamentally broken in many ways (level editor, camera, dialogue text) AND STILL players are finding creative ways to tell stories in it ๐ฅน

Thrilled to announce Lumaโs $20M Series A led by @AmplifyPartners . We believe 3D is the most powerful creative medium, and our mission is to build AI to democratize it. The future is interactive, generative, itโs 3D. More here:.

Woke up this morning thinking about voice interfaces. I never use them. Most common way I've seen other people use them is, "Alexa, set a timer for 10 minutes". Does anyone on here do more complicated stuff with voice? I know some people like to dictate text messages.

maybe i'm late with this observation, but. part of what makes generative models fun (and addicting) is the uncertainty. they're like creative slot machines.

@PuzzlingPlaces @tribandtweets @Soaring_Roc @michael_temper @mouri45 @synthridersvr @loona_app 10) @DrydockDreams Wylde Flowers is a farming sim crossover from iOS, Switch, etc. The bit I played was the original in an AR frame, but Iโve seen screens of spatial stuff they added. As a dev, excited to see the floating joystick pattern from iOS works great! Will play more :)

gpt can do content moderation. we needed a simple way to filter out age-inappropriate usernames that muck up the vibes in our ugc/social game. made a quick site to test it out.

1) I did two 3D puzzles in @PuzzlingPlaces last night on my couch. Gave me that "one more piece" puzzle feeling, and I left the experience feeling chilled out. Great example of an app that uses the native spatial gestures well - placing pieces feels like magic. 10/10 recommend.

@PuzzlingPlaces 3) What the Golf from @tribandtweets is just as delightful as it was for iOS. Super cool how they mix 2D levels with fully 3D volumetric levels. I just played for about 30 minutes straight. Another 10/10. Side note: trying these games - my spatial gestures skills are improving.

this was a great - if you have a vision pro and you haven't tried facetiming with spatial personas. you really should!.
First visionOS Devs meetup a success! Got to try @AdamWatters' game built in GodotVision and congratulate @MattHoerl on getting @beautiful___xyz featured in the App Store! Also great to meet @akaash and Jonathan!
