🐸 If this isn't the cutest game universe ever, then what is?!

🪟 We're giving you a little peek into the world of Paw-Rangers.

💚 This is where adorable frogs live (and we're still naming them, remember?). And they're exactly who our furry squad is setting out to rescue. Admit it — you just want to squeeze these green guys!

All guests at our VR arenas will get to play as brave Paw-Rangers this winter.

📺 But now you can check out the full video the little frog is watching. Just head over to our YouTube channel to find out who these cuties discover in the fridge 🥶https://t.co/2BBZ0yYHkO

🚪 You've probably walked past an empty storefront and thought: "something should go here." Here's what the numbers say it should be.

📈 There's a market that keeps growing steadily — through global crises, recessions, and everything in between. Location-based entertainment: arcades, VR arenas, immersive experiences.

🚀 Analysts project it will reach $5.6 billion by 2031, growing at a 17.6% compound annual growth rate.

And it's not just VR. The global Family Entertainment Center market is set to grow from $34.57 billion in 2026 to $47.93 billion by 2031 — with AR and VR gaming zones growing at 8.17% per year, making them the fastest-growing activity area in the entire FEC market.

🤔 So it's no wonder many of you are thinking about opening your own VR arena.

📝 In our new article, we've broken down a detailed portrait of the ideal owner for this kind of business.

🐸 This December, families all over the world are going to be rescuing this frog and his friends. And you know what? He still doesn't have a name.

But just look at him. Is it fair that this cheerful green guy has absolutely nothing to write in his passport? (If he had one, of course.)

So we're handing this part over to you 👇

💡 Drop your name ideas in the comments
🏆 Our team picks the favorite, and that's what we'll call him from now on
👕 The winner gets a t-shirt with our new friend on it (yes, you'll be wearing a frog. Stylish.) — we ship anywhere in the world
⏳ We'll introduce him properly as soon as we hear the right one

The cuter, funnier and more unhinged — the better.

Follow so you know if you won, and so you're there when he shows up this winter.

The frog is waiting. The frog believes in you. The frog is already practicing his autograph.

RIBBIT 💚

🤔 What if your next game session actually made you sharper?

We at BATTLE START noticed this a while ago. Now science is catching up 🤓

📊 Here are a few details.
Almost 700 people took part in 18 trials conducted by researchers from Yunnan Normal University. Some trained in VR, some did traditional exercises, and some did nothing.

😴 No surprises with the last group.

🔥 But here's the kicker: VR training matched traditional workouts for motor skills — and even beat them on complex moves like reaction time and full-body coordination.

🔍 How? Two reasons:

1️⃣ Instant feedback
You move. You see the result. You adjust. That loop is exactly how your brain rewires itself.

2️⃣ The fun factor
When it feels like a game, you do more. Simple as that.

🏋️ Of course, VR won't replace your barbell. But for movement-based training — no equipment, just you and your body — it's a total game-changer.

💬 So here's the question:
Ten boring reps in the gym or saving the world in VR? 🌍

🚀 VR isn't just about gaming!

🧠 Here's some news that both surprised and fascinated the BATTLE START team.

✨ A recent pilot study tested VR for stroke rehabilitation, and the results were pretty incredible.
Virtual reality combined with electrical stimulation delivered twice the improvement of traditional rehabilitation techniques!

💬 What do you think about that? We're personally thrilled and can't wait for larger trials to back this up!

🚀 Can VR actually make you a better person?

😲 The team at BATTLE START came across a study from the University of Oregon that totally blew our minds. Researchers wanted to know if narrative-driven VR games could boost empathy and altruism. So they built a game called "Empathy in Action", where you meet a little boy named Alden who's lost his dog, Buddy. Your mission: find clues, comfort him, and help solve the problem.

Sounds simple, right? But here's the wild part:

After playing, participants showed increased altruism – they were more willing to help others. Their cognitive empathy (understanding WHAT someone else feels) went up too. But their affective empathy (feeling sad WITH the person) actually went down.

That means they understood the boy's struggle and wanted to act, but they didn't get drowned in his sadness. They helped because they saw a problem they could solve.

So where could we use VR like this IRL?
🎓 Schools – empathy through experience, not textbooks
🫂 Support for individuals on the autism spectrum – a safe space to practice recognizing emotions without social stress
🩺 Medical & police training – understanding patients/victims without emotional burnout

Now, you don't have to wait for special releases to test your own empathy. Here at BATTLE START, we're kind of scientists too, because so many of our co-op games are built on mutual support.

🫶 But seriously, the real takeaway is this: empathy can be trained, and VR might just be one of the most powerful tools for it. We're excited to see where this tech goes, and we'll keep bringing you games that bring people closer, one mission at a time.

👋 Hey everyone! We have a small confession to make.

😪 Last Monday, we were so pumped to announce that BATTLE START is moving to a newer Unity version that we threw together a video way too fast, without giving it the time it deserved.

You guys probably didn't even notice anything off, but we spent the entire week (no joke!) mulling it over. The visuals we showed ended up looking totally unrealistic.

😎 So this time, we recorded a first-person POV clip for you. It shows the game running on the old Unity build versus the new one.

🔍 Take a close look and drop a comment. Can you spot the quality difference?

🔝 In the upgraded version, Ambient Occlusion works much better, shadows feel deeper, texture quality is noticeably sharper, and all of this while keeping a rock-solid framerate. That means your brain can sink even deeper into the action, and the virtual world will feel that much more real.

As for what other improvements the latest Unity version brings, we already covered that in our post from a week ago. Scroll down if you missed it! 👇
