There are a few things in my career that have allowed me to grow, and if you were to ask me today what those things are, it truly comes down to 3 simple beliefs: 1. Always stay humble and remember where you came from. 2. Focus on your goals, and make sure everything you do contributes toward them.
Woke up around 4:30 AM today, mainly to exercise & to make progress on my upcoming Meta Connect session. I also literally worked all weekend on a new Unity video, and Iโm very, very excited about this one!!! ๐
๐จ NEW XR Developer Showcase! This time, I want to showcase Crafting Crimes, an MR true crime experience that blends podcast storytelling with hands-on model-making, turning your physical world living room into a forensic investigation. ๐๐งฑ #indiegames #gamedev #unity

Iโll be talking about this in my upcoming video. The Runtime Pipeline Manager allows you to execute C# code remotely from the Unity CLI which means you build your executables & the CLI can send C# commands as follows: > ๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ฎ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ก --๐ง๐ช๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ [๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฎ๐๐ง] --๐๐ค๐๐ โ[๐พ# ๐พ๐ค๐๐]โ #unity #gamedev
Breaking walls in Mixed Reality is one of those features that always feels magical to me! Hereโs a great example of how I took inspiration from First Encounters. ๐ฅ For a step by step process take a look at my latest video: youtu.be/eS0f7W6Y6cE #gamedev #developers #meta
Sounds like I am going to be extremely busy but in a good way, I've to build 3 different demos for a Meta Connect session covering VR/MR and wearables development!
๐ข Iโm excited to walk you through the process of building & launching a full VR/MR game on the Store. Iโll share what worked, what didnโt, and the AI tools & prompts I used to create the hoop, net physics, tabletop gameplay, leaderboards, and more. ๐ฅ youtu.be/eS0f7W6Y6cE #vr #developers #gamedev
It feels so great to wake up early every day and exercise. I always say this is the best energy I get throughout the day. It doesnโt matter if Iโm on a work trip or at home, the rules are the same, and I truly recommend it to anyone trying to increase their focus and productivity. #productivity

So far, 2 days at XRCC in Berlin, and it has been an amazing hackathon event! We ran 2 talks and 1 panel. One talk covered WebXR (IWSDK) tools, and I personally ran another session on VR/MR dev tools, both focused on agentic workflows.
๐ I told everyone I was working on a few videos for the official Meta for Developers account, and today Iโm super excited to announce that our first episode is now available! I talk about dev success stories, platform updates, and deep dive into the Meta VR CLI. ๐ฅ bit.ly/4bd4ei3 #meta #developers
๐ฃ Weโre going live tomorrow at 2:30 PM CET! Weโll be talking about the lessons weโve learned while growing in XR and now navigating the AI boom. Be sure to tune in ๐ www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEf4... #meta #xrcc #xr

I donโt share productivity tips often, but I have a morning routine where I create 4-5 tasks that I can complete that day. I wonโt end my day unless everything on my list is done.
I showed this skill during my AWE talk, but at the time it wasnโt populating release notes. Now it automatically summarizes my commits into bullet points and all I have to say is โsubmit my gameโ ๐ Bumps the version > Builds & signs the APK > Uploads & passes the release notes to the Dev Portal โ
๐ฃ Our team is heading to XRCC in Berlin! ๐ Excited to join hundreds of XR builders next week and support the developer community. #developers #vr
Simplicity beats complexity, but building something simple that truly makes sense is very, very complex. Remember this.
