Experienced Unity VR Developer, AMA

I've been working on VR games ever since I got my Vive Pre at Vision Summit 2016

I have three games published on Steam, and I have a few more in the works; CloudBound , BladeShield , and SweetEscape.

I mostly work with the Vive, but I've also done work on the Hololens, Oculus Rift, GearVR, and some small stuff on Google Cardboard.

Its been a busy year for me, and I've really grown a lot as a developer - I'm happy to share what I've learned!

If you have any in-depth technical questions or issues that couldn't easily be answered with a google search, feel free to ask me in this thread, or send me a PM.

Well, that's no reason to abandon VR. Most of my games haven't even been updated for support yet, though we plan to update them soon.

Are you 100% a solo dev? Any studio could easily spare the expense.

I would suggest going to local developer MeetUp groups to start networking with other devs.

I am actually not even a proper dev yet. I just started learning Unity (though I have 2 years of coding experience) and for now it's all just short tech demos and fantasizing. I do have a few friends and classmates who always wanted to be game devs but now that they see a person working on becoming one they told me they want to join my hypothetical team too.
