Yesterday I spent nearly five hours designing the sound for a 10-second sequence. Sometimes it takes that long to get things JUST right. If you experience Secrets of Gara next year, see if you can spot this moment!

You can now generate arbitrary raw triangle meshes inside of Resonite with ProtoFlux. Fully synced to everyone in the session. What kind of cool shenanigans will you do with this? :3 store.steampowered.com/news/app/251... #Resonite #socialVR #indiegame #sandbox

@frooxius.bsky.social added the initial building blocks for collection data structures to @resonite.com, and we've been playing around with it a bit. This is HUGE for creators. We've already made plotters, cool procedural shapes and even a full on voxel meshing system. #Resonite #GameDev #SocialVR

The MetaMovie@themetamovie.com · 4mo agoWe’re deep in development on Secrets of Gara and turning the entertainment dial all the way up. ✨ Rehearsals, world-building, programming, and plenty of magic in the making. Here’s a peek behind the scenes. 👀 youtu.be/PeNFOBfHvS8?... @resonite.com
Cool balloon body "collision" tech in Resonite using Spatial Variables! (Also, bug balloon.) I've been wanting to show off more of my cool experiments.
I'm looking forward to doing a deep dive on the state of our craft with some of the best practitioners of it! We all approach this stuff from slightly different perspectives but with shared goals and values. Friday, June 12th at 12pmET. For details on how to watch, go here: shorturl.at/AsHHB.
My 'day job' is teaching film, tv and VR at @brooklyncollege.bsky.social and tonight my undergrad multi-cam students went LIVE with "High Note": a live show where musicians with different backgrounds debate/discuss music and then play together. They killed it! www.youtube.com/live/J1KwZ3c...

I’m still buzzing with excitement from NewImages Festival in Paris last week. The networking, talks and panels were extremely well curated and organized, and I was thrilled to have a chance to share a bit of my own work and to moderate my first panel at such a prestigious event.
Headed to @wearenewimages.bsky.social in Paris today, where I'll be giving a talk on our process for designing MetaMovies for audience agency and emergent behavior. Can't wait, it's such an amazing festival/conference!
My favorite place to write and think: the New York Library of Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Today: rewriting some of the 3d Act of Secrets of Gara, avatar visual references for the 2nd of four Hero avatars, planning Saturday’s rehearsal. Good times!
Last weekend’s playtest was a big one. Every time we bring this many people together, Secrets of Gara becomes a little more real. Huge thanks to our dev team, collaborators, and especially our playtesters — your feedback & energy is what makes this possible! Sorry for the occasional yeet 😅😂😱!
1) @jackthefoxotter.bsky.social thanks for sharing info on your python wrapper for @resonite.com Link! I'm now curious about any work you're considering for a Blender to Resonite SDK? For anyone curious, ResoniteLink is a new core piece of Resonite, allowing for external SDKs!
We are about 1 year out from launching Secrets of Gara! I’m excited with what we already have, and there is so much more to come. This is where my head has been and is the vibe I’m after. We do play testing: for a sneak peek, join our Discord, and get invited! discord.gg/2TjAWhsb4W
Congresswoman Crockett is one of the few strong and powerful voices on the left who consistently calls out and stands up to the BS coming from the current administration, and I love her for that. Crockett 2028!

As usual, @ferrymanvr.bsky.social breaking ground and showing traditional media that there's something special beyond the fourth wall. Bravo y'all!
Ferryman Collective@ferrymanvr.bsky.social · last yr.We were privileged to perform Uncanny Alley for the folks at Sony Interactive. It was great to show our work to people who are working hard to improve immersion and interactivity in Sony games and products.Thank you all who came through the show and thank you to Tanvi for setting this up
Development on Secrets of Gara is coming along so well! Our talented team is busy building worlds, creating avatars, putting our systems together. The cast and I are rehearsing and this is shaping up to be something special!
🧵 ahead! In the first week of my Directing for Virtual Reality class at @brooklyncollege.bsky.social, I had my students watch Our Precious Autumn by @khangaluwu.bsky.social (watch here: shorturl.at/R9dd4). The film won Best VR Film at Raindance Immersive this year, and it’s a powerful, beautiful

This BTS video about Animal Company nails it. They get community engagement, embrace live service, and respond to players. A lot of this is baked into MetaMovie’s DNA already, but it’s great to see it discussed—and scaling so well. Worth a watch! www.roadtovr.com/animal-compa...
