2018 represented a shift in focus for our team’s capabilities, away from sharing our prototypes at events, and towards focusing our efforts on develop Microdose VR into a platform that players can download and enjoy at home. In the future we plan to expand our Events presence significantly, though even while focused on production we managed to bring our latest prototypes out to several events and installations.
