over the hill is out today on Steam! 🐻🌲 we self-published, self-funded this game and our 🤘badass🤘 team and partners worked so hard we are super proud of what we created and hope you will enjoy it!

Truss sending DMX direct to Unity via the VRSL OSC receiver. Also showing off the live DMX monitor window and Truss Relay running in console mode (instead of logging).

The Rust media player engine in Basis (basisvr.org) now reads H.264 SEI user data that Truss (github.com/towneh/Truss) writes into a live stream, and hands it to the C# code. My URP fork of VRSL uses it for DMZ, so the lights are synced with the frame they are sent with. No pixels required!

FluxPose runs natively on Steam Frame! We're also working on a proper mount, plus a tiny new dongle designed to plug straight into the Frame. More soon👀

Spent the last few days cycling around Sparta in Wisconsin with the wife and in-laws. We finished a satisfying 50 mile ride from Bangor to the burnt out bridge outside Trempealeau. Now we’re heading north of Duluth in Minnesota to ride mountain bikes at Goosebury state park! 😅

Big video update! You can now post videos up to 10 minutes long, and they'll upload 2–3x faster. That's on top of the recent increase in maximum file size to 300MB. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create! NOW PLAYING: "Rent Control," by @shing.bsky.social and @jayackley.bsky.social

Looks like the UK just received one of those extremely rare national emergency alerts on our mobile phones. The country is essentially a tinder box and everyone was just told not to start any fires.

There's definitely something to Minneapolis if cycling and urban transport video creators keep praising the place.

That massive ball of light floating in the sky & giving off limitless energy is really something! We'd do well to make use it.

Remember that today (8/7/2026) is Bandcamp Friday, the day when fees are waived & the artist gets all of the money from purchases of their music. If you've been waiting to buy a piece of music then today is the day to do it. #ambient #music #bandcampfriday #electronic Support the artists!

30 miles in to the ride, it would be rude not to pull over and try the lemon drizzle cake.

TFW you realise you must be following the right crowd on Bluesky when you see a round of posts from people saying “could everyone just chill for a moment” and you never actually see why.

Update: I needed it. So far it’s been an absolute dream to ride and the SRAM Force E1 XPLR 1x setup has been able to tackle the North Downs comfortably!

Two-thirds around my local countryside and had to stop in at Speedgate stables cafe for refuelling! 🚴‍♀️

Pssst: We bumped the video upload limit from 100MB to 300MB to make posting bigger videos easier.

New York city was fun but now it’s time to head back home to London. I’ll be seeing wifey again in 3 weeks!

Hoping to drop a couple of big features for @basisvr.org soon… 1) Tracker puck/chip support for Props 2) Creating an optimised motion driver that replaces Animators for cosmetic/secondary movements (e.g. ear twitching, tail wagging). Huge frame-time savings at 1000 CCU.

Drop any existing Animation Clip, that stores complex key frames rotations for bone chains, in to the converter to create a BasisMotionClip.

The sun was out this morning so it was a great opportunity to break in the new bike! The larger 40c Gravel King semi-slick tyres managed to deal with the North Downs potholes quite well.
