I'm thinking of changing Butterfly A's colors from red/blue to a more orange/brown look (for my upcoming Solara One arboretum update). This clip shows both for comparing.
• Which feels more believable in VR?
• Which would you rather discover while exploring?
• What would you change about the losing butterfly?
Vote A or B and tell me why.
A short clip from my upcoming Solara One arboretum release.
I've been leaning into the contrast between towering trees and a more surreal, space-inspired atmosphere. Curious which side it lands on for you?
How about the forest sounds, do they feel right for the scene?
Obviously space is silent, but VR gives us a little creative freedom.
If you were floating above Earth during a spacewalk, what would you choose?
- Complete silence
- Ambient music
- Earth sounds (ocean, wind, rain)
- A cinematic soundtrack
- Mission-control style communications
I just released a music update to Solara One with 12 Original tracks so I’m curious what people think.
I'm not talking about rhythm games where music is the gameplay. I mean games where the soundtrack quietly enhances the atmosphere and immersion.
What VR experiences do this best? What games could benefit from better music?
I've been working on a music update for Solara One that adds a new album of atmospheric tracks, and it's made me appreciate how much the right music can elevate an experience.
How important is the role of music in games to you?

Working on a new level for Solara One (outer space journey)! I’m experimenting with two different skies for my holographic arboretum (it is part of the space ship, kind of like star trek holodeck).
Which sky do you like better & why?
(1) Earthy Cloud Sky (top)
(2) Sci-Fi Starry Sky (bottom)
The official Solara One shop is finally open. I’ve put together a collection of gear: tees, hoodies, hats, etc. You can now dress in style while exploring the cosmos!

I'm working on a holographic Arboretum level for Solara One and trying to nail that zen‑magical glow - something soft, ambient, and immersive without blowing out the highlights. The crystals in this cave are getting close, but I've been staring at them so long I need a fresh perspective.
More glow? Different colors? More/less shadows? Or do they look OK as is?
Any games you've seen that create a similar vibe?
Solara One lets you drift through space, explore the cosmos, and experience some of the best standalone graphics available. Launch for the stars! 😊
Shoutout to Don Hopper for capturing the vibe perfectly in this clip.
