What if millions of teens were using next-gen wearables on a weekly basis TODAY! https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/09/survey-teenagers-using-more-vr-devices/
Hello, I’ve been building the next big thing right under your eyes my guy
Apple Vision ProThe Royal Family is so bad at PR that it makes me wonder if their strategy is to be purposely bad. Like be so bad that it’s wildly entertaining, which then makes the PR actually good? I have no idea. I love it though.
As VR devs, we try to connect with our players and show them the game dev process. What’s fascinating is that they really do try to negotiate with us to keep everything our game free.
I agree with you here. They should absolutely be doing this. Meta has a ton of cash to invest in studios every quarter to build out games/services that Meta wants to see on their platform. Apple should be doing what they do with Apple Arcade but on a grander scale for Spatial
Apple Vision ProIt is very good making a game for Meta Quest. Hoping Derby can be one of the first to be available on both Meta Quest and AVP

This post from the Crema CEO (makers of the game TemTem) is wild. Game dev is so tough. You need to constantly be serving and listening to your players. Sad to see a game go south like this. https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayTemtem/s/5nafJKGyxj
Chatted with a game dev last night. They said, “when working on the business of a free to play game, it’s helpful to sometimes view yourselves at war with your players. They have your money in their pockets and you need to figure out a way to get them to give it to you.” Definitely a different framing.
FoundersI share this because I didn’t know I needed to edit both the cover AND profile grid. I was only doing the cover up until December.
CreatorsI started getting crazy about thumbnails on IG Reels and we went from 800 to 9,000 followers in the last two months. Click “Edit Cover”, set the Reel Cover and edit the Profile Grid thumbnail. Cover helps with discovery on the Explore page. Profile grid cover benefits the viewer when scrolling your profile.
CreatorsMeta hates that TikTok is the best place to discover Meta Quest content and games. It’d be hilarious if TikTok executes a better immersion and discovery for spatial content
Apple Vision ProVR content does so well on TikTok. I wouldn’t be surprised to see TikTok create more immersive viewing opportunities for VR/spatial content with this app. https://x.com/tiktokcomms/status/1758129101800382905?s=46

FashionAppreciator/beneficiary is exactly it. It’s like “you’ve put all this effort into using our ecosystem, now look how delightful of an experience this enables for you.”
Apple Vision ProApple wants you to be a user of their computing ecosystem. Meta wants you to be a character in their world. This difference is felt in every interaction across both devices.
Apple Vision ProI am so biased to prefer the Meta Quest as a Meta Quest dev… AVP has a magnetic pull. I want to use it more and more every day. I find excuses to use it. I don’t have that experience with any Meta Quest product
Apple Vision ProAs a Meta Quest dev, this is not correct. They don’t have a clear process to get apps onto the Quest Store. Meta has failed to build their own OS so it’s all an Android wrapper… I could go on.
Building cameras inside Derby - Baseball VR so it’s dead simple for players to get content out to the world!
