@siracusa been fighting this all week. Incredibly lazy and weird of them to not look back.

I heard that if you ship with this flag the AppStore will use your old icon so I'm stripping it out and just doing what they want :(

So fun talking and sharing everything Blackbox from 2014 to 2024! Love everything Antoine does for our little indie world. youtu.be/yGcmr591rVI

This leap into your living room would never have been possible without @arobertlong brains and tenacious problem solving, @danfountgames beautiful math and game design wherewithal, Gus Callahan's ear and attention to delightful sonic details, countless friends, and all the folks at Apple that helped us out along the way.

It is incomprehensibly wild to me how working on what was meant to be a side-project to learn iOS has utterly transformed my life, opened countless doors, and introduced me to the most talented, kindest people; some of whom I now get to work with daily as Shapes & Stories, defining and exploring the future of play :)

It's continues to be absolutely *unreal* that Blackbox is nominated for an Apple Design Award AGAIN, this time seven years later for visionOS!

Like many people, I had my Apple ID locked last night, and it was a big hassle trying to get it unlocked and working again.

One tip - when you go through all the rigmarole to get it going again, one thing that doesn't switch on by default is receiving iMessages or FaceTime calls via your Apple ID. So, like me, you will probably be missing messages until you reenable those in Settings. Also, if you send somebody a new iMessage it will default to your phone number which may not be what you want.

Would love to make a whole app out of synesthetic experiences—has anyone seen something like this in the AR space yet?

Without fail this ALWAYS makes me feel like something is blowing gently into my hand—anyone else? My brain has experienced this interaction in Blackbox 100 times and I still never get used to it! ✹

Blackbox by @warpling is an absolute masterpiece and a true “Spatial Computing experience” đŸ€Ż

@michaelsteeber z-fighting, as I’ve come to learn it’s called, is the bane of our existence. It shows up all over the place. @robertlong or @danfountgames might be able to explain better
