SXSW Updates

This week I'm taking a break from development to attend SXSW for the first time... And it's already one of my favorite festivals ever.

I have two goals: 1) meet as many awesome people as possible (if you are around, let's hang!). 2) start fundraising for the second major iteration of Where Thoughts Go, currently named Love Letters.

Will make a video about my experience here as soon as things start winding down. But it's so much fun! Creative people from all backgrounds coming t...

"Where Thoughts Go" Sequel - First Glimpse

Really wanted to bring this one to you Patreons. The project is still very early in development (still in the process of fundraising), but I found a sequel to Where Thoughts Go I'm really excited about building that improves the format in every single conceivable way. The project will be named Love Letters.

It'll probably be the last iteration of this project. We'll probably launch a Kickstarter for it in April - I'll keep you updated on how it's going and than...

New Video Sneak Peek - Top 10 VR/AR Experiences of 2018

Just finished working on my (very late) Top VR/AR Experiences of 2018 video. It took some doing but I think you'll enjoy it, it was one of the most difficult and fun to make.

With content like this, I'm trying to create things that are funny, full twists and informative, almost at the same time. Let me know if I succeeded! (or failed)

New Article! Trying something a little bit different

Hey, Patreons! I really want to get a lot more content out in 2019 for you guys while also pushing myself creatively, so I created new character called "Design God Chad" and had him write a VR/AR Design article for y'all. You'll find that this has a different... tone.

Dev Story: Recovering From Burnout and Finding Out What's Next

 2018 has been a fantastic year - Where Thoughts Go was officially released in the wild and it achieved more than I could have ever imagined.

But it was also a very difficult one. I've gotten sick about 9 times due to exhaustion alone, and one of my pledges to 2019 is to approach this year with a bigger emphasis in health and personal growth.

I've also been struggling with following up with Where Thoughts Go. I want to create something that's even more impactful and just as o...

Dev Story: Bringing Where Thoughts Go to MR

This week I started prototyping what a Mixed Reality version of Where Thoughts Go could look like on the Magic Leap. It's been something I've been thinking about for a while and I never quite knew how to approach it from a pacing standpoint. What are the gameplay/progression loops that feel natural in a context like that and how do you keep the feeling of "exploration" and "discovery" of a world alive in a MR context?

The answer seems to have users build the environment gradually, without full...
