Upcoming

this thursday i will assist tonfilmuser in his Rapid Prototyping for VR workshop at the lovely Retune festival in berlin. hope to see some of you there!

What the VL?

oh glad you asked, big time! all is back on schedule. please first read our vl-midsummer-nights-dream update and then: so you can now follow our daily progress again using the alpha builds and we’re very happy about feedback in the alpha forum at this stage.

we’re now hoping for a beta35 release including VL as a first class patching language around new-years. all the bigger concepts are in place and we’re now already giving them a second spin looking at ways to improve workflows for you (ie, spare you some clicks and the need to understand every technical detail to get things going). there’ll be blog-posts with updates as we progress..

ovvvver and out. anything missing? please add it in the comments. have a good patch!
