In 2018, I helped produce the tech and visuals for a brilliant re-imagining of David Bowie's final album Blackstar by Evan Ziporyn. Now, on the 10th anniversary of his passing, we are reviving Bowie Cello Symphonic at MIT on January 10.

Can't believe its finally out on Steam. Was a huge effort for our 2 person team to bring the game to PCVR and rework the game so it can shine on flatscreen with mouse (or gamepad) ✨
4+ years after we started, THRASHER is now available on Steam for $9.99 with a 10% launch week discount ✨ Play however you like on PC, SteamVR, and Steam Deck!!

I’m proud to announce that the talk I gave with @dougnorthcook in Shanghai at Let’s Vision ‘25 was just released! This is the most comprehensive look yet at the design, prototyping process, and journey to Apple Vision Pro for our game THRASHER.
This is Mike and Doug’s session from LET'S VISION, where they share the story behind THRASHER(@Puddle_Studio ), winner of the App Store Awards 2024.
If you’re building a game for visionOS, this talk is definitely worth watching!

Please wishlist the game, coming to Steam and SteamVR later this year 🙏

This was one of the most inspiring talks at #LetsVision ‘25 - the process Ryan took in entering an unfamiliar medium and adapting the design principles of his award winning iOS game into an award winning Vision Pro experience is fascinating!
So stoked and proud to share the design keynote I gave at Let's Vision in Shanghai!
Warning: this talk involves a puzzle ;)

I made a custom Unity app to create “projected AR” around live musical performers for the MIT Gamalan Galaktika performance yesterday! Would love to take this fully
volumetric some day with AR glasses 😍 @MIT_MTA @unitygames
Can’t wait for this to open near me, looks so fun 😍 …and clever use of Quest’s new camera access to align the visuals for everyone via QR codes and doing foot tracking to let you kick things!
Come on by for a peek at what's next for THRASHER!
We're super excited for THRASHER to be showcased at Day of the Devs in just about a week!!
We're showing a NEW version of the game we've been working on for a while 👀
Come by on the 16th, it's free 😍 @dayofthedevs
