I was recently contacted by someone looking to hire me to Improbable. They linked this puff piece which made its way into Wired, and I had a chuckle: http://www

I was recently contacted by someone looking to hire me to Improbable. They linked this puff piece which made its way into Wired, and I had a chuckle: http://www.wired.co.uk/article/improbable-quest-to-build-the-matrix http://www.wired.co.uk/article/improbable-quest-to-build-the... > MetaWorld, a SpatialOS app being developed by San Francisco-based HelloVR, lets two people play chess in virtual reality together. MetaWorld is also persistent – which seemed like a great idea, until players started throwing virtual chess pieces into the grass, and the Improbable team had to crawl around on their virtual hands and knees to find them. Either Improbable made it impossible to add a reset button to object positions in their SpatialOS product... or they're hyping their product by showing how much busywork their employees are doing. Technology isn't the reason that nobody's making hyper-realistic video games, game design is. A lot of new game developers starts out with the idea of "the game where you can do anything", and then slowly learns why other games don't attempt to do that: real life is honestly quite boring and tedious.
