My next novel There’s Going To Be Trouble is coming next month on 4/9 from Random House. I’m told it’s a great novel to 1) wander around Paris while reading, 2) read in bed, while pretending you’re wandering around Paris.

This is a tremendously interesting, daring, innovative production, with many embellishments I've never seen in VR before. Well done Tender Claws

I broke down the story, gameplay, & design process of #StrangerThings VR with the Tender Claws co-founders.
Lots of immersive storytelling innovations and one of the more creative adaptations from a previous IP that I've seen exploring VR's affordances:

ICYMI: Here’s my interview with the Tender Claws co-founders breaking down the story, gameplay, and design process: voicesofvr.com/1351-stranger-…

We (FLOAT LAND) worked on the #mixedreality portion with our pals Tender Claws! So excited that it’s finally out!

Getting to direct VO for Stranger Things VR and work with these was really meaningful. Their expertise and talent playing these characters really brought the script home.

I guess it’s normal to obsessively read reviews and watch streams:) regardless, I feel pretty confident about the stability of the game and really proud of the project and eagerly want others to try it. From that sense it’s been a good week to finally get to share. :)

Baskin Engineering Teaching Prof. Samantha Gorman is the co-writer of the new game Stranger Things VR, released yesterday. Gorman specializes in interactive narrative and world building, which she brings to her teaching of UCSC students. Read more: bit.ly/48nwgmY

Stranger Things VR is out today. It was a journey these past few years really getting to know the show and write for this world. TC is an indie team and we've worked hard to stay true to the spirit of the show while innovating mechanics and story structures.
