- Hey all! We're on the looksie for a Graphics Engineer. Awesome humans, great benefits, VERY interesting work! 💪 (Please apply below to Lauren at HR) 😜 🔸 A Fully Remote Studio 🔹 Unlimited Health Days 🔸 A Culture of No-Crunch 🔹 Professional Development Days cloudheadgames.bambo...
- bsky.app/profile/dil... Being very close to the bone on this (hope to share more in future!), I can confidently say that this works great for some things, very poorly for others. What it indicates is an VR/XR future that brings with it both hand-tracking & controller based tactility & haptics.
- www.threads.com/@upl... I've always felt that MR/AR's real superpower was its potential to reskin reality (not just float widgets). These baby steps into real-time spatial mapping will eventually turn your dirty living room into a beach bar, your cat into a parrot, your couch into a jetski 1/2
- Congrats on the vote fellow Canadians 🇨🇦🍁❤️ Not a majority BUT the Block & NDP are more likely to work with the Liberals anyway. Canada united. From here, we build and secure! To celebrate, settle down for a relaxing sleep with a secret Canadian treasure "Old Time Hawkey" youtu.be/deX9Es-FbkE?...
- Being "born rich" diminishes the value of money. Creating without earning the knowledge to "create", diminishes the value of creativity. Value within this context = a deep sense of accomplishment and pride in ones work. Remove that and humanity has no purpose.
- www.roadtovr.com/met... Pistol Whip sitting at the #25 spot just above Resident Evil 4. Not too shabby considering all the great company :) Now do one based on number of ratings which is yet another interesting indicator! I think we hit 10k, which is higher than most titles.
- Re: Blue Checks. I hope there is an XR community verifier this time around. I found "old Twitters" check system quite exclusionary and a bit snobby.
- youtu.be/4e5DgSrN3E4?... Not a huge Metallica fan but had genuine "feels" watching this (& recommend you do so if you can). Some of the best immersive video content I've seen on some of the most uncomfortable VR hardware I've ever worn 😅
- Its that time of year again "Google, what are the best VR mods for Skyrim?"...
- Some of the team from Cloudhead Games was lucky enough to take a tour of James Cameron's Light Storm studios recently. The museum area with the Power Loader and Queen Alien...drool :)
- www.cnn.com/2025/04/... Human ambition matters. When AI replaces "workers" across all segments (& it will...including self referencing art, media, entertainment without human inputs), we *might* have UBI but be left with no meaning/purpose. Government funded eating machines.
- Guess who finally ordered a Bigscreen Beyond 2 with all the fixings? Every HMD has its benefits and sore spots but I love exploring the ambition & innovation of all HMD makers, to get a bead on the future. Every development an key step forward for XR. Can't wait to add BSB 2 to the collection :)
- www.uploadvr.com/hal... "Rather than commission Cloudhead Games to make a 15-minute Portal-themed demo, why not a 15-hour Portal-themed game?" I can neither confirm nor deny that this conversation happened. IF it did, it certainly would have been cool huh? Probably even good/great for VR growth.
- LET'S GO!
- #TRONARES FEATURING ORIGINAL MUSIC BY NINE INCH NAILS 10.10.25
- R.I.P Val Kilmer. Such a genuine creative that made everything he was in better. I will always have a soft spot for Real Genius...which if you haven't watched, now is the time.
- Excited to announce an open role for Technical Designer at Cloudhead Games. Fantastically talented creators & collaberators, people-first supports, ambitious games, earthy company that values its voices! Join our 56+ person VR team on the next great adventure 🥰: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41...
- www.wired.com/story/... We need to move away from B&W thinking when it comes to input. Just like VR/MR/AR, I prefer to see these things as complimentary forces, which future users will smoothly slide between depending on the use case. Input is no different & should be a constellation of choice.
- shorturl.at/auMI2 One of our awesome HR peeps is out for maternity leave soon and will need cover at the studio during that time. If you're looking for a 7-month gig with wonderful people let us know!
- So...the reason Canadians are taking a US invasion scenario very seriously, shouldn't be clearer than it is today. With DT effectively saying Ukraine could have stopped the war by giving Putin what he wanted. DT will use exactly the same logic on Canada...a 157y/o sovereign country.
- Building a game? Have you considered "how much is enough?". You want 9000 accolades, big revenues, or its a passion project, genre disruptor? "How much" is a question the entire industry should be asking. "BIG" successes aren't always financial but putting the creative first can make them a success.
- Keeping you screaming into the void, perpetual existential dread IS THE STRATEGY. Current political climate = Social media is "unfilterable". Too many keywords, angles, daily offenses/assaults, etc. Turn it off, change your world "at home". Refocus on your circle of control & real-world influence.
- Deleted Reddit today. I refuse to be played by the overtly designed, daily outrage. Refocusing on tangibles and things within my control. P.S. I've been working through an op-ed on the state of VR for 2025. There's so much I can't say, so finding the things I can say has been a bit of a challenge.
