It has been a long time coming: The official website for Wobbly Duck Studios has finally been launched. Look forward to industry events, technical articles, and project updates!

Wobbly Duck Studios Exhibits at Dell World 2018

Our team collaborated with the Top3sixty team to produce an interactive media application for Dell. We were priviledged to be invited to the annual Dell World exhibit in Las Vegas and got to give hundreds of demos to the public. We learned a lot from user feedback and incorporated the input into the next version update. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Dell and Top3sixty.

VR Guest launched

Our friends at Chronos Global Academy have officially completed and launched "VR Guest" on Oculus Store and Steam, for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Gear VR, and Oculus Go. Wobbly Duck Studios assisted with performance optimizations for mobile VR, porting to the Oculus Rift, and deploying the application to Steam and Oculus Store and assisting with numerous build errors.

Spellbound

Spellbound is an immersive virtual reality game which supports full room scale tracking and has an innovative artificial locomotion system. You play as a red wizard who has been living as an outcast deep within the blackwood forest. One night, strange magic begins to make his head buzz. By morning, it is gone. But the magical curse returns every night. It is impossible for the red wizard to sleep, so he sets out on an adventure to investigate the source of the disturbance. To his dismay, he discovers undead zombies wandering near a haunted crypt and must throw fireballs at them and put the magical disturbance to rest.

The development of Spellbound is ongoing, but the initial prelude chapter of the Red Wizards Tale is available in Early Access on Steam and will give you a taste of more to come.

Introduction to Octrees

What exactly is an Octree? I will take you through the steps necessary to create an octree data structure through conceptual explanations, pictures, and code, and show you the considerations to be made at each step along the way. I don't expect this article to be the authoritative way to do octrees, but it should give you a really good start and act as a good reference.
