Gaming

There’s a new VR trend called “fan games”.

Some VR games like Gorilla Tag have open-sourced their games so players can remix them. This is so popular that 90% of uploads to SideQuest are Gorilla Tag fan games made by teens.

Some fan games make millions.

I believe fan games are the future of VR gaming

There are currently problems with VR fan games:

1) Hard to publish
2) Using free multiplayer tools limits scale
3) no shared backend allowing for monetization/scale

Throwback Studios is building a solution for these problems.

More to come.

Yes! Loved this take on the solution Roblox provides. We need something like this that is VR-native

issues come with exploitation minor devs' labor when 20+ year olds are employing 18- year olds to do the labor

The Roblox generation loves doing this.

Remixing is something that we'll see in more places beyond games.

Doing just fine building our VR technology with our community 🙌

So true. Their offering is truly insane but it’s weird how their players don’t LOVE Rec Room. It’s so odd

Rec Room custom rooms and games have come a long way. Hadn’t tried it in a few years and was impressed to see what people have built with their tools.

I always wished halo would let custom map makers charge for their maps. This sounds like that.
