I wrote 4 books about then switched to . I am Tea Monster Games. I love , and I'm obsessed w/ racing games 😎 🏁

@psychicparrot42 Hi, welcome to Mastodon!!
Very good :D
Good luck in here!!

Woah, I've never seen a socialist hippie gamedev. Hello! How do you deal with um... uh... every video game ever created ever?
RC Rush
ah, driving games. Makes sense. Not into them myself, I haven't had good experiences with motor vehicles, and also have unusually terrible reflexes.
I love #VR, #retrogaming and I'm obsessed with racing games 😎 🏁
I was in love with VR a while back. There was this awesome virtual reality called Second Life, that was even open source. Unfortunately the company thought a rent monopoly was a good idea, and the only ones who can pay rent for fake land is online casinos. Someone reverse engineered the SaaSS server software to make OpenSimulator, but the client was written in C++, so it quickly became uncompilable since no one has time to update a giant virtual reality software with C++‘s bullshit.

And that’s like my best experience with gamedev. Everything else was worse.

Does Second Life count as retro gaming, yet?
@cy @psychicparrot42 Have you heard of VRChat? I've never used it, but it seems right up your alley.

@psychicparrot42 Five years in a game studio? I never made it two years.
