Meta isn't giving up on VR, but it just evaporated any goodwill it had left Meta has made a lot of mistakes over the years, but the latest round of layoffs is the straw that broke the camel's back for many.

Myself, and a bunch of devs talked with Nicholas Sutrich, from Android Central, after the devastating news of the last few days...

Right in the middle of QA! If everything goes to plan, in less than a month, on September 4th, you'll be able to play Drakkenridge.

And if you are interested by a 10% discount, well, the game is available for pre-order ;)

A preview of our "main" island... While there will be many "main quests" reasons to be there, hopefully you'll want to stay a little, touch some grass, and enjoy some fun side-quests as well...

As I'm wrapping up our latest game, Drakkenridge, I'm wondering what type of market our game is going to hit when it releases later this year.
So it's as good a time as ever to look back at what brought me to VR in the first place ...
Let me know your thoughts,

I haven't posted regularly because we are on the verge of being done with the "creation" part, and about to start the "tuning" part - expect an onslaught of content then :)

With more than 90% of the content done, I'm finally able to finish all the island minimaps: displayed on the player grimoire they feature major landmarks, quests or zones of interest.
I can now experience Drakkenridge as a whole, and hopefully soon, you too!

One thing can be heart-breaking when you are a dev: content you made that needs to be cut out, because of time left, because you can't fit it in the "polish loop", because it's "unfocused"...Bye bye Ork Island, maybe see you as an expansion?
