Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between is OUT NOW!

Hey Legends, I'm so excited to announce that our game that we've been working on for so long is finally OUT!

We've been working on The Gardens Between since 2012, and this latest instalment in VR I can honestly say is pretty bloody amazing (It's also a massive expansion of the game, but I'll leave that for a different post). 

Like okay... the original game released in 2018 was already beautiful, I'm just a programmer on the game.. I've been lucky enough to work with some very talented artists. But there's something about this game in VR that is a whole 'nother experience entirely.

The first time I put The Gardens Between on a headset it was just a big island in the middle of my room. I sat down cross-legged on the floor, and it was like "OKAY - this is how it's SUPPOSED to be experienced" - sitting on the floor and being surrounded by this mystical place connected me to my childhood self in a way the flat-screen version of the game never could. Which is exactly what the game is supposed to be about!

Now, getting the game to actually run on a headset at 4k 90FPS and still retain all of it's original beauty was a multi-year process of continual optimisation, shader refinement, and full render-stack rearchitechuring (yep that's a word).  But boy is it worth it.

Stop reading here. Just go play it. Seriously!
