When you consider this work alongside the awesome volumetric ideas of @notsuspicioushq.bsky.social & @tovanbo.bsky.social it is like these developers are building for a mixed reality platform that isnโ€™t architected (yet) just for these kinds of ideas.

Platforms must shift to meet devs here.

The Daily Spell by jamwitch, Celia Drop letters into place to unscramble today's magical headline. โœจ New puzzle and story daily!

For @thinkygames.com's #ThinkyCon jam, I made The Daily Spell, a daily puzzle with an ongoing narrative. โœจ

My goal was to combine satisfying word puzzling with a story you'll be excited to see unfold. Try it and let me know what you think!

The reception for the first #VRForever has been great so far. Some folks asked what else they could do to help the devs besides purchasing the games? Here's some ideas:

- Leave a positive review if you like the game
- Follow their socials accounts
- Spread the word about the Festival
- Have fun!

Weโ€™re currently targeting Quest 3 / 3S, but will try for a Quest 2 version if thereโ€™s enough interest. The game is designed for hand tracking first, but controllers will be supported!

Someone wearing a device on the beach wonโ€™t be cause for concern because weโ€™ll know how powerful and enriching the tool is.

In the future, I hope we use this technology to stay present in the real world while enjoying experiences that are only possible with natural input and scene awareness. And I hope we evolve our understanding of mixed reality devices to be more than escapism.

Someone said, โ€œThatโ€™s sadโ€ as they walked by. Why would I escape to the metaverse when I could be watching the beautiful sunset in front of me? I was wearing a Quest 3 with passthrough enabled, so they didnโ€™t know I could see the sunset.
