"the new official"

Hey. Enough with the "unofficial"!

Awww. Darn. Thanks for testing. I'll add that to my to-do list then.

Give it another go if you get a moment. Let us know if it works.

Have you tried sideloading the APK? :)

You're forgetting a bunch of tedious other stuff! Every store has its own submission rules and red tape and assets to generate and forms to fill in. That's what takes the time.

Yeah. It's just finding the time. So much to do and not enough volunteers.

We just released version 0.4 on Steam and Meta stores. Greatly improved performance - especially on Quest. Post-processing restored to PC VR. Next release will focus on new features!

It's very cool and expands the features of Open Brush in a lot of interesting ways. We just want to get multiplayer officially released before we hit you all with this :-)

PC VR / Vive is already on Steam. Pico might just work but we haven't tested it or published to the official Store yet.

Can I just reiterate that Oculus Medium, Google Blocks, and Gravity Sketch VR are the best 3D modelling tools I have ever encountered?

In 2018 I was learning blender and one of the 1st thing I made was this low poly Metal Gear mk. II from #Snatcher! It was sculpted in VR using Google Blocks which is still free and available on Steam. I just did the camera and lighting in #Blender. #lowpoly @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp

Managed to squeeze out another room today! This one is called The Royal Landing. For reasons.

Also, lighting is such fun!

Would love to chat. We're really interested in education as a use case for Blocks. It's perfectly suited for that.

The Icosa Gallery will launch soon - our replacement for Google Poly - with full integration into Open Blocks and Open Brush for remixing, sharing and publishing (plus support for Godot, Hubs, Blender and more to follow) @icosa.gallery

Just a reminder - this is an early access release. We have a lot of potential optimizations still to make and we are focused on improving performance and memory usage.
