Developed down-under is a feature series on Gameplanet Australia, but we're publishing this one in New Zealand as well as the developers originally come from Christchurch, and because damnit, the game just looks great. Sam Baird and Julian Frost are Barrel of Donkeys, the Melbourne-based team behind Toybox.
Wrapping up 2014 this time last year, VRFocus had this to say on the Oculus Rift: “It’s been nothing short of a whirlwind of a year for Oculus VR. No, the consumer kit isn’t yet available, but in its absence the company has only strengthened the belief that VR is here to stay this time and that this will be the company to bring it into the mainstream. 2015 will no doubt be another eventful year, even if that fabled consumer release still isn’t confirmed. As VR grows in popularity, Oculus VR isn’t going anywhere.”
Glad these things are not being rushed out.
Looking forward to see how VR grows throughout 2016, and how these companies riff off each other to build better experiences. Hoping to get myself a Gear VR before the end of January.
