Hello Steemit!

My name is Mark and I am an indie VR developer.

Me and my exploding balls

During the past 6 years time I have worked on and released several titles, including a physics puzzle game called Gravity Lab (see picture above) for HTC Vive, Oculus Touch (launch title) and Windows Mixed Reality (launch title).
The other big game I worked on is Blair Renauds cyberpunk VR adventure "Technolust". He's also here on steemit: https://steemit.com/@anticleric
I also won a Proto Award for my GearVR launch title "Nighttime Terror".

After 6 years being independent, I recently joined Sydney based VR studio "StartVR". They are doing some amazing work in partnership with HTC and Microsoft and I can't wait to share some of the projects. Just a quick disclaimer though: all my posts here are my own.

In short: I love VR and everything that goes with it and can't wait to talk more about it :).

Some quick other things: I love tech and tinkering and I get super excited about projects where I can combine them. Recently I built a variable backlight for my dual monitor setup and also my living room:

It's amazing how a few cheap leds can make content on a screen much more immersive.

And I'm a computer geek, that's why I decided to build my own external GPU enclosure with an integrated screen:

And obviously I'm excited about crypto :). I hold a few coins and I have a few mining rigs (which are currently off because its like 40C/104F here in Sydney). As a programmer I'm super interested in diving into block chain programming, now all I need is some time to actually do it ;)

I am excited to be here. Feel free to ask my anything regarding VR or my projects in the comments :).

Great intro.

Welcome! I tried Night Time Terror way back when all I had was cardboard, and was impressed by its quality compared to the (then dire) other offerings available. It was an actual game with original assets, which could not be said for nearly anything else on the platform for many months.

Sweet intro, exploding balls included!

Good luck to you!

I have also played with his exploding balls... briefly.
I'm not proud of it. They are nice though.

I guess that's why you wear a helmet 😁
