Developers React to Meta Orion & Quest 3s ARtillery Intelligence https://lnkd.in/geiEPJeA

Sometimes you’ve just gotta shoot your shot. After many hours playing Mega Fireball on her Meta Quest 3, my daughter decided to reach out to the developers to ask for a job. My daughter is 12 years old. She didn’t discuss this with anyone. She just decided to reach out directly. Well, Marisa got lucky. The Lucky Juicebox team decided to invite her to their office. This is a team of XR and game industry veterans who launched Pokémon Go…. …and Mega Fireball was just featured at Meta Connect, the annual event where Meta shows off its latest and greatest tech… Marisa’s mind was BLOWN. She got to play one of her favorite games with the team that made it. How amazing is that? If you want to play too, you can access Mega Fireball’s free open beta here: https://lnkd.in/dvWPeD3q

This post from Lucky Juicebox was the top thread on r/virtualreality on Friday ?????? It's a real prototype for a new way to experience multiplayer games in mixed-reality for friends who live far away. We call it "Sandwich AR". Sandwich AR allows two users to ??sandwich?? their rooms together to effectively double the size of their space. Simply draw a portal on your wall and your room's mesh is sent to your friend. When the upload is complete, the portal will open and you can see a 3d mesh of your friend's room connected to your real-life room. Then feel free to hang around or play games together in your new connected space! If you want to follow more of these awesome updates join us on Discord to see the latest and greatest or even try a build. https://lnkd.in/eSWwyTsS #Virtualreality #augmentedreality #metaquest

Andrew Macintosh and Chris Stoski, founders of Lucky Juicebox and current members of the 2024 Techstars Anywhere Remote Accelerator, are building the future of gaming - and the industry is taking notice. Android Central recently published an article listing seven of their favorite Quest 3 and Vision Pro games from the 2024 Game Developers Conference. Lucky Juicebox made the list. Android Central's Sr. Editor of VR/AR and fitness, Michael L. Hicks, who demo'ed Lucky Juicebox's multiplayer "Mega Fireball" game, took particular notice of the game's "mesh" layout capabilities and how easy it is for users to use their environment as part of the gaming experience. Hicks writes: "What made the demo exciting was that it took my surroundings into account. The hallway was mostly empty, but I could still have my character jump onto water fountains and fountains or wall-jump off of walls", says Hicks. This won't be the last press writeup this dynamic founder duo receives.

Mega Fireball makes Android Central's best upcoming XR games of GDC ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/dkDhwNdQ

We had a ton of fun at GDC (Game Developers Conference) this year. We got to meet some great people and watch them playtest our game on Meta Quest 3. My fave part was watching a couple race each other and push and shove to get to the virtual beach balls and score goals. Here's a vid testing things outside Moscone on the headset. -Stoski #AR #metaquest #GDC #multiplayergaming #soccer Jacob Everett, M.S.
