I launched the first multiplayer RPG for
@playdate, PointlessQuest, a week ago. The response has been kinda mindblowing:

270 players have scored at least 1XP
80 returning players a day
Lots of stories of grouping up and helping each other

20 years ago today, Microsoft announced XNA Game Studio, a free set of tools for game development, worked on Windows, Xbox 360 and Windows Phone. This tool helped thousands of devs getting started, including well know companies today. today would be very different w it.

@vr_sam @SideQuestVR @BanterVR ...and I missed you're at Unity now! Congrats 🎊

[Gareth Williams @GarethIW]

Officially on xmas break! Been quiet over here as I worked through a whirlwind first 6 months at @SideQuestVR, working on our social VR platform @BanterVR. In that time I've:
🖥️ Ported Banter from Quest-only to PCVR on Steam
🎮 PCVR support for knuckles, Vive wands and Touch

[Gareth Williams @GarethIW]

And I did all of the above working a 4-day, 32 hour week, fully remotely.

So yeah, happy holidays and here's to my fellow gamedevs in 2024 refusing to crunch in an office when there's no need for it.

p.s. check out Banter: it's out on Applab, Steam and - of course - Sidequest!

[Gareth Williams @GarethIW]

🖱️ FPS-like kbm controls for flatscreen users
💡 Ported to Pico 4
🌴 Went to Madrid with the team for funsies
🛜 Moved the entire voice chat and avatar networking from a previous solution to Photon Fusion
⚽ Added network-synced objects
🎉 Smashed my probation and 6mo review!
