In case anyone would like to see a post today on Bluesky that isn't about the nazi AI from X, here's a blog post I did awhile back about the very cool VR racquetball game C-Smash VRS.

Excellent delivery day from @lostincult.co.uk. Love the soundtrack, so I'm happy I can add it to the VGM collection.

I'm also starting to build up a nice little C-Smash collection ;)

I had great fun and got things done at Reboot Develop Blue. @rapideyemovers.bsky.social’s cooking something amazing which I can’t wait to announce later this year. Had fun giving a talk and taking part in a vibrant panel, too.

This was so hard to keep a secret.

Check out the first look at a dark, gritty and photorealistic C-Smash VRS below!

Excited to announce our upcoming Dark Dimension update, a complete overhaul replacing Y2K minimalism with what gamers truly want: dark and gritty realism.

Made possible only by switching from Unity to Unreal.

No joke: C-Smash VRS is part of
@playstation.com’s Spring Sale right now!

I’m excited that RapidEyeMovers’ debut game, C-Smash VRS New Dimension, is about to ship on actual discs to thousands of folks all over the world!

After prototyping like crazy last year, we have now started dev on a game based on a beloved IP, and brewing a massively ambitious original title.

Together with an amazing partner we’ll be showing a project behind closed doors that embraces the spirit below with all its ❤️!

See you there?

Jörg Tittel ⏭️ Gamescom @newjorg.bsky.social · Feb 1

We need more games for people who aren’t “good” at games but who won’t be treated like brainless tap-monkeys.

Games that make you feel comforted instead of assaulted, delighted instead of distracted, invited instead of getting guilt-tripped by cynical FOMO-loops.

The world is dark and hard enough.

The new EDGE magazine has landed in people’s stockings. It features a report on how to fix the game industry’s problems. I was asked to contribute - and plan on putting my money where my mouth is in 2025. There is lots to do but first… HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

#5: C-Smash VRS

2023's best VR game finally came to Quest, and it's just as good as when I played it on PSVR2. But with the New Dimension update, you can play on flat screens too - and even play against VR players, which works really well. I'm now patiently waiting for the physical copy I ordered.

The score attack bug bit me on C-Smash VRS - and now I got a WR off-stream, apparently 🤷‍♂️ (Non-racing game WR at that)

Jokes aside, this game is arguably one of my faverite score attack games atm. Expect to see it more on stream !
