Gravitas Crunch is my take on the next news medium:
• a personalized radio network built from feeds
• on-device narration that sounds like radio
• one tap to the original source
• Crunch for summaries
Not AI slop. Not a wrapper. A source-first broadcast and reader.
Experimenting skinning different types of environment and lighting scenarios. Yeah this was dope. Being able to play game on your own two feet, flank, parry. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
@tom_krikorian Right right. I heard devs spout the same AVP video game nonsense at WWDC. Let’s just say I don’t believe that’s Apples stance. Good luck with Now on Vision :)
@tom_krikorian The current hardware is better than meta quest. What’s your point. The market state is teenagers haven’t had a reason to talk mommy and daddy to get them a $4K device because there’s nothing for them to do with it.
@tom_krikorian There’s like 5 games on AVP. You don’t develop on AVP for money right now unless you’re getting paid to do enterprise or just love the tech. I love the tech and the AVP destroys meta quest. People don’t make games because games are hard.
@tom_krikorian Right right I misunderstood that you played too many civilization games. My point is there are no good games for spatial computing because games are an entire production surface. AVP could use capable game devs but there are none I guess.
@tom_krikorian That’s too bad. It’s an untapped niche in Vision Pro because gaming is about 50x harder than the tech demos everyone is making. AAA gaming wont even touch AVP which is a more then capable device—because Meta left a bad taste in everyone mouth and didn’t do it right
Gravitas Plague for Apple Vision Pro. Finishing up Horde Mode. Story Mode still to come targeting an October release. An episodic Zombie Horror done right. TestFlight available: https://t.co/iKLC5TcIUv
@AlexChaumet Hey thanks feedback would be great. I still need to set up discord for this one and I’m out of town right now. I think you can leave feedback via TestFlight though which would be fantastic
Check out Horde Mode which I intend to bundle with a free version of the game. Starting to incorporate visionOS 27 features. Would love any suggestions, ideas, requests!

Sound design. I brought hell into my living room. It's crazy to feeel like you are actually in a battle with zombies surrounding you, but the sound just put it over the top. I can't even advance because I am panicking so much more. Holy cow.
@tom_krikorian I made a simple python tool in blender to scrape animations from Meshy USDZ exports and prep them to work in swift runtime. You can transition and build animation library directly from Meshy and have swift manage the animations programmatically.
Made a procedural glyph system which creates a cool transition around the portal. Also paves the way for persistent blood splatter on walls and floors.
Had such an incredible time in Cupertino at Apple WWDC hope to do it again sometime thank you so much Apple for giving me such wonderful feedback on my apps and for providing developers with amazing technology like you’re reaching into the future and pulling something back for us
