Excited to announce "Hotel Infinity", a game where you explore a mysterious hotel in roomscale #VR

It's a follow-up to Manifold Garden and builds on a lot of the same ideas (portals, impossible spaces, etc)

Launching in 2025 for #PSVR2 and #MetaQuest3

Your work on the pieces was nothing short of a miracle!

I am so glad y'all were on board 😉 for the design and supported us in being ambitious with the game.

It really is a magical experience when it all comes together.

Now for the bittersweet part of any launch day as a freelance worker, with the game out, I'm out looking for work again. So, need a UI/gameplay programmer, a top-notch senior/lead QA Analyst, a technical or educational game designer?

I'm open to freelance and full-time positions, hit me up! Please!

Thanks Chris! I'm really proud of it. Didn't think we'd make a multiplayer board game but here we are!

We are grateful to Brynn Putnam and the incredible team at
Board for the opportunity to collaborate together on this project.

Designing a game that blends digital and tactile elements was a fun challenge, and we are so proud of the final result.

Strata is a game that can ONLY be played on Board!

We're excited to reveal Strata, a strategy game we developed for Board, a new game console that blends physical and digital play: board.fun

In Strata, you use physical 3D blocks to claim territory and outmaneuver opponents.

Tetris meets Chess.

Prune, my digital bonsai game about cultivating what matters, just turned 10!

In an age of endlessly fractured attention, I still believe it has something to offer--now more than ever. So to celebrate, I'm finally bringing it to PC.

Sorry to hear about this Mike. You and your studio have always been a big inspiration in how you've grown and built on past projects.

Hope everyone is able to land on their feet soon and I hope you yourself can take some time to rest in this difficult time.
