Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are two of the buzzwords of the moment, since these ones are technologies that are forecasted to have huge success in the future, that will change completely our everyday life.

Another episode of my devlog, where I talk about my adventure in trying to develop a little game with my game designer Max (if you missed last episode, you can find it here). Today is like the last episode, I’ll tell you why. Max has come to my office and has tried by himself the […]
