Hi I'm Shane and I'm the CEO of SideQuest. I've come all the way from Ireland to tell you we are giving away over $11,000 worth of goodies in a few days. 10 Oculus Quests up for grabs and tonnes of games, accessories and SQ swag!
Kicks off in a few days:
We did it! 1M downloads in less than a year! We are super excited and hugely thankful to each and every person in our community for coming along on this journey with us.
Here are some more SideQuest metrics from the last year! Here's to another great year for VR!
We are going to hit 1M downloads in our first year. That is unfathomable to us. We want to say a huge thanks to all our developers who have trusted us with their content and to all the users who have believed in us.
Unity keep saying this is only targeted at the most successful games.
The monetary threshold is $200k for most small indies. That's a GROSS amount, not NET. It means it includes all costs incurred by the developer. Let's do the math:
We want to acknowledge the confusion and frustration we heard after we announced our new runtime fee policy. Weβd like to clarify some of your top questions and concerns:
Who is impacted by this price increase: The price increase is very targeted. In fact, more than 90% of our
Well would you look at that, its been a tough year for a lot of us in the tech industry, and we have not been immune. It makes a win feel even better.
We are super excited to see what happens next. Shout out to
@Gymclassvr

Today we donated 2 Oculus Quest VR headsets to a local nursing home. We all have it bad during the pandemic so its easy to forget those most in need. I hope the patrons of Cregagh Nursing Home will get some enjoyment out of them!
Virtual Desktop has overtaken Pavlov as the most downloaded app on SideQuest.
Congratulations
@VRDesktop
on building a tool that is hugely useful and every Quest user needs. We have a copy for each of our team and we use it every day.
We're thrilled to announce our BRAND-NEW SideQuest Web Installer! π£
Now it's easier than ever to get SideQuest inside your headset. And there's a new feature added to out VR app...π€«

Unity in 2019: "When you obtain a version of Unity, and donβt upgrade your project, we think you should be able to stick to that version of the TOS."
@SideQuestVR
While I don't support what Unity is doing It's hilarious you think you can just opt-out of terms you don't like if you continue using their product. They won't be able to collect fees from anyone who built their game before Jan 1st, but after? You'll have to click "I AGREE".

We are building a new way for developers to release apps to Quest without sideloading or enabling Developer Mode. This will be especially great for folks like

because it will greatly reduce the friction of getting apps on your headset.
