I just had one of the best and scariest weeks of my life. Over the last 10 days I was in Venice, Italy developing a new skill I've been avoiding for years: screenwriting.
Screenwriting has always been something I feel like I need to master to pull off my storytelling ambitions long term. &n...

Been working more and more on my interactive puppet comedy \and now finally getting to the point where I can do some improv writing with all the stuff I've built! Here's a #NSFW scene I'd like to share with you guys.
It's been quite a challenge to find the right tone for this kind of experience, so this is one of many e...

One of the comedies I'm working on involves a lot of.... let's call it touching. To achieve my desired outcome, I'm having to create a softbody system entirely from scratch with the Quest in mind and it's been quite the challenge!

Hey, all! So lately I've been working on 3 separate VR comedies at the same time, all very different from one another: and the one I've been focusing on the most this week is named The Massage.
Set in a future where all humans have become unfeeling blobs (and all physical touch is illegal), you play as a rogue ...

Hey, Patrons! Let me open up by saying that I'm so, so, so, glad you've continued to support me in the past few months. This income has given me a lot of freedom to continue to approach VR my own way and I'm so grateful.
While I have several projects in the works, the one that I've decided to finish over the next 2-3 mo...

All based off of puppetry. Thank you so much for supporting me and allowing me to build this!
Giving everyone who supports me access to the alpha this month. Hope you have fun using it!
Good news, Patrons! I'm making a sideloaded, early build of Where Thoughts Go on the Quest available for all of my supporters months before the game is out.
If you want it, just message me with the e-mail you use for your Oculus account and I'll hook it up for you right away ^_^

Over the month of July I've reserved 10 full days to work on the Where Thoughts Go sequel... and when time runs out, I need to have a fully playable prototype from end-to-end to submit to film festivals. Talk about pressure!

Some of you know that I've been working on a sequel for Where Thoughts Go for a few weeks - well, last week I was at the Cannes Film Festival and had an epiphany. It was another idea for a WTG sequel, but much simpler, elegant, emotionally powerful & easier to make than my previou...

This week I got to build a Cyberpunk alley where the first half of the story will take place in and I'm pretty happy with the results. Of course, it's not going to be the ...
