I think one of the biggest things that sets apart #SamuraiSlaughterHouse from other #VR combat games is that it's very story driven. I'm afraid I haven't expressed that enough while marketing the game, so I made a trailer that teases a bit of the game's story. #Quest2 #PCVR

@thebiggestyee I have no particular love for content creators but I can assure you if they're working 12 hours a day, most of that time is likely spent editing, making graphics, and working to come up with new content. It takes me hours of editing just to make a couple minute trailer.

Slapped together a little side project over the weekend. It's basically 360 House of the Dead style gameplay with graphics inspired by classic GameBoy games. And of course it's in #VR because that's my thing. 😁 #HauntedAPK #Halloween

Testing out mimic chests that don't come alive until you try to open them. Chests that spawn in to an area have a small chance of being mimics. They're a lot scarier in #VR than I expected them to be, lol. Should be even better once I add sound effects. #SamuraiSlaughterHouse

A tip for developers trying to make nice looking games on the Quest: You don't need to worry too much about polygons and you need to worry even less about texture sizes. Your main concern is drawcalls. As long as you keep those low, you'll have good performance.

Really happy with how the batleth came out in #SamuraiSlaughterHouse ! Anyone have ideas for other novelty weapons that would be cool to use in #VR ?
