@Matthias Gall Thank you that's great feedback! I felt honestly the same in another group about the Q&A's and rarely attended because of that! I wish you festive and chill holidays Matt! See you probably in 2025 take care!
๐ŸŽ‰ WELCOME! [Please introduce yourself in the comments] ๐ŸŽ‰
Awesome to have you here! ๐Ÿ™ Feel free to introduce youself below ๐Ÿ˜บ and your game ๐ŸŽฎ you work on. Let's get things rolling: ๐Ÿ”ฅ I'm Ben, a GameDev with 14+ years of experience. I have a Game Design M.A. and have worked as a solo indie developer, in a small team with Meta, and now at a VR games company. My goal is to make better games than Nintendo and create lasting value through games. I aim to grow holistically with like-minded people in all areas of life.

@Greg Dunn Wow welcome Greg! Good luck with your steam release for Rolling Blocks! Are you attending the next steam fest? Also is there any possibility to play a prototype, alpha or even demo? Funny thing I guess we discovered Unity at the same time and jumped on the train!

Genre: #ActionAdventure Description: Beneath The Order is a gripping VR adventure set in a dystopian world where players join a hidden resistance to uncover the truth behind an oppressive society.

Hey @Matthias Gall great to see you so active and crushing it with your game progress! I just recorded a short video for you talking about several points. Love to see and understand more about your world that you build!

Yes I already thought the Synty models are placeholders and that is exactly what I mentioned in the video. Sorry for the sound, during recording I wasn't aware, that the youtube audio is being recorded too! @Matthias Gall Oh no such a cliffhanger! I am super curious about your new startup idea, especially when it is connected to making games+VR! How is the transition going to unreal? Do you notice any advantages or downsides compared to unity?
