Virtual Experiences that Enrich Lives

VR Games and Web Apps

The studio's primary focus is to make Virtual Reality experiences, games, and environments.

One Use Spaceships

Created for VR Jam 2022, this was the first VR game that the studio ever shared with the world. As with many other games in this portfolio, this is more of a Tech Demo (for spherical gravity and spaceship movement). Available on itch.io!

Dan's VR Egg Hunt

This tech demo includes dynamic weather (which is challenging in VR, due to specialized handling of fog and other effects). Collect eggs, climb trees, and relax as the clouds shift and daylight fades. The weather changes every minute, and the day/night cycle lasts 4 minutes. Available on itch.io!

VR Card Game with Mechs

The current work-in-progress Tech Demo highlights a novel card-game mechanic along with visuals to bring the cards to life. Coming soon!

WebXR Demo with Godot

The studio created 3 WebXR Tech Demos, using 3 different engines. They are minimal, but functional. This one was created with Godot. Walk around and enjoy the atmosphere.

WebXR Demo with A-Frame

This WebXR Demo was created with. Of the 3 WebXR demos, this one wins in terms of load times and runtime performance. As a bonus, it also has built-in support for Keyboard (W,A,S,D) + Mouse for desktop users.

WebXR Demo with Unity

This WebXR Demo was created with Unity. It is 11 MB, so it is large by web app standards. No movement with controllers, just relax on the island.

Web Apps

Many of these are meant to be used as relaxing views into another world. They can be saved as full-screen web apps on iOS/Android, or used with full-screen mode in Chrome on Windows, MacOS, or GNU/Linux. On iOS, tap the share icon, then choose "Add to Home Screen".

Shooting Stars

Stars scrolling by slowly, with parallax. Created to practice JavaScript in 2016.

Relaxing Hues

Inspired by a screensaver from the past, randomly evolving solid colors (also created in 2016 as JS practice).

Cloudy Night

During a trip to a 'Dark Skies' area for casual astronomy, this came to mind. Clouds often obstruct the night sky, but it can still be beautiful (also created in 2016 as JS practice).

Island with Day/Night Cycle (Unity)

This was the start of a larger project, but this simple environment was surprisingly calm and meditative. Each simulated day lasts 2 minutes of real time.

Walk in the Woods (Unity)

This was created while learning to use Unity's Timeline feature and improving skills with the Terrain editor/painter. No user interaction, the camera takes a tour of the environment. At 46 MB, it is a heavyweight web app, but it performs well once it finally loads (no loading progress bar).

Non-VR Games

While the primary focus of the studio is on VR content, these other games are worth highlighting.

Dan's Meditative Journeys

"What's in there?" "Only what you take with you." Even I, the developer, do not know what you will find in these randomly generated worlds. So go forth to explore, and maybe explore your own mind along the way. Available on itch.io!

Other projects

While these do not fit neatly into the other categories, they are worth sharing.

Steam VR Home environment

This relaxing tree-filed courtyard was a great way to learn how to use the Source Engine's development tools in 2020.

Dan C in Space

In 2017, Danny created a web comic for a few months, focusing on odd situations that engineers find themselves in. In 2022, short format videos are more popular than static web comics, so checkout 'Dan C in Space' on YouTube for dry engineering humor and relaxing videos with machinima in space games.

Tools used on these projects

Game Engines

Most work is done with the Unity 3D engine, but there are some platforms and genres where other tools are better-suited.
