Five years ago, I released Air Hockey Arcade for Meta Quest.
Today, I'm excited to introduce its next evolution: Air Hockey XR! 🏒🥽
Built for Mixed Reality, with hand tracking, a full single-player campaign and a whole lot of arcade personality.
Available now on Google Play for XREAL Aura and other Android XR devices, with more XR platforms to follow!

Hot off the press for all #AtariSTE fans - it's Pole Position Remastered v0.99 for the Atari STE!
A ground up-rebuild of my 2017 version - this is bigger and better in every way.
✅ AI assisted
❌ Definitely not AI slop (in my opinion!)

A little weekend experiment with Codex!
Project Wayfarer is an early open-world VR prototype built on my own Reality Engine, originally developed for Air Hockey.
Codex has been extending the engine, adding hierarchical meshes and integrating Erin Catto’s new Box3D physics engine.
And now we have a drivable Jeep, running standalone on Quest 3! 🚙
Still very early days, but I’m rather excited about what’s becoming possible!
As primarily a VR developer, I was initially sceptical about MR devices.
But without the budget for an environment artist, I realised the real world makes a pretty good one! 😁
I adapted Air Hockey XR for the narrower FOV of XR glasses, but I’m genuinely impressed by how well XREAL Aura handles immersive VR too!

Hey folks, like a lot of people this year I've been affected by layoffs, and I'm looking for my next opportunity! I'm a Lead Unity Developer looking for a similar position. I have a decade of experience, mostly XR but in small and large teams, medical, simulation, etc. DM me!

Here's another sneak peek at the upcoming @RACECLUBVR multiplayer!
This dev test was carried out remotely, with me and Matteo, playing from different locations rather than together in the studio. And guess what? Multiplayer is running smoothly.
We've also been testing in-game voice chat, and it's working perfectly. Oh, and don't mind the Italian! 🤌
More to come! 🔥

Whether you love or hate @elonmusk and Tesla, the fact that so many people are talking about a “flying” Roadster just shows what a genius marketing stunt it was.
Love it or hate it, you’re talking about it!
I can now add standalone Steam Frame, Pico and Android XR to the platforms supported by my C + Vulkan + OpenXR XR game engine, Reality Engine.
Codex got Air Hockey running on Steam Frame while I was out getting my hair done! 😄
Just PSVR and PSVR2 left to support.
Claire Rogers retweeted
Correct.
Let's not go back to the bad old days of headset wars.

You do not have to agree with anything I say to sign that there should be a debate on the topic.
There has never been a House of Commons debate.
The legislation was pushed through by a change to regulations, in 2021 with Chris Whitty behind it.

Give us a slow mode for Codex.
Something like /slow where it runs at half the speed but uses roughly half the usage. It would put less strain on OpenAI’s servers and maybe even make the 20x plan possible, right?
It’d be perfect for /goals too, just send a task before going to sleep and let it work overnight.
I’d happily trade speed for more usage @thsottiaux

Basically the question is this.
Which scenario worries you most?
A) AGI becoming conscious and somehow killing all humans
B) a bad actor making a bio weapon in his garage with an open source model and releasing it on the world
C) corporatism between a few ai labs and government cementing extreme power in the hands of a few to surveil and control us forever
I’m going with C.
Get ready for all of the investors in frontier model companies to suddenly flip to regulatory capture mode today
Their investments in frontier model companies are currently at risk/capped because the biggest buyers of tokens are embracing open-source models: vertical AI companies, the government and enterprises
That’s all this is about: stopping open source — which I’ve been saying on the pod for two years
If you want safety, you want disclosure — and open source is the ultimate disclosure process
Air Hockey Arcade running natively @ 144Hz on Quest 3. Not quite up with @SkarredGhost yet! Sadly, anything higher would likely require considerable optimisation effort!
