James Swiney from Pixel Art Games is hard at work bringing Void-X to the Apple Vision Pro. Void-X is out now for iOS and Apple Watch if you’d like to try it out before it launches next year on visionOS. We cover a ton of ground in this episode about gaming’s potential on visionOS, developing games for visionOS, is SpriteKit actually supported, launching a visionOS app from Australia (where Apple Vision Pro won’t be available), and much more!
