Hey so! I'll be doing a streamed talk at DCG201 (DEFCON New Jersey local) this Friday, 7PM EST, as part of a program on VR tech: https://defcon201.medium.com/dcg-201-online-meet-up-may-2021-virtual-light-d858732751d0
My talk's subject: https://LOVR.ORG (the open source VR library I use); nuts & bolts of VR dev, and how to get started; my game SKATEGIRL DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE (
@mermaidindustries ); and a look into SKATEGIRL'S internals.
The talk after me (7:30) is by Nevyn Bengtsson, talking about https://alloverse.com, another LOVR project.
ISAAC'S SOUNDTRACK FOR "SKATEGIRL CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE" IS FULLY GENERATIVE, THE MUSIC SOFTWARE IS TIED IN WITH THE GAME MECHANICS SO IT REACTS TO YOUR ACTIONS AND EVOLVES GRADUALLY FROM PHRASE TO PHRASE BASED ON YOUR RATE OF PLAY. IT IS INCREDIBLY COOL. I CANNOT OVERSTATE HOW COOL THIS IS
THE GAME IS THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF THE UBISOFT TORONTO "INDIE SERIES" FOR 2021: https://twitter.com/UbisoftToronto/status/1392163697402032130
ANNOUNCING "SKATEGIRL DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE", A GAME COMING SOON FOR VR PLATFORMS!
"SKATEGIRL" IS A PUZZLE PLATFORMER, LITERALLY. THE GAME IS PLAYED ON JIGSAW-PUZZLE LEVEL FRAGMENTS YOU CAN GRAB AND MOVE AROUND WITH YOUR HANDS IN VR TO REARRANGE THE LEVEL GEOMETRY AS YOU LIKE.
IN ORDER TO WIN THE GAME YOU MUST FIRST CREATE IT.
THE GAME FEATURES ART DESIGN BY TYPHAINE URO AND MUSIC BY ISAAC SHANKLER.

This looks *more* interesting in VR, but not so much more interesting I feel like I've got something I can use #sdfidk

It looks kind of interestingly stylized but mostly it just looks like the light ray is refracting at some slightly incorrect angle when it touches the bounds cube #sdfidk
