Hello listeners! On today's show I speak with Jono Forbes from Defective Studios. Jono is working on an application called VRMT which allows you to create vr inside vr.

Here is a preview of some of the things we talked about.

1:00 Intro and how VRMT works.

2:00 The inspiration for the interface.

4:50 The intended audience for his creation tool/game.

6:47 What's the point of being inside vr to create vr?

13:40 Working with Unity.

15:00 Learning about Jono's background.

16:40 The hardest part about making games.

22:20 Why VR?
