Exercise Your Demons!
Exercise Your Demons! is a Mixed Reality title that I worked on for about 2 years. Funded by Meta as a "Meta Managed 3rd Party Development" From Concept to Completion, it was a very fulfilling journey with an experimental frontier.
Working with Meta was a very enlightening experience. Publishing a title on a storefront with stringent standards and requirements was difficult, but i'm happy it happened. Going back and forth with the Quality Assurance Team for a few weeks was rigorous, but rewarding.
The development was also a bit difficult too. We only had a year and a half on a low budget, and as our representative said "we're coming in hot" when it came to getting through Meta QA.
