I belong to those who feel that International Women’s Day is about celebrating the pioneering women who paved the way; reflect on progress and my efforts to date as well as strategizing my next moves toward a more inclusive world.
Can I Play Demeo on Apple Vision Pro?
You’ve seen us bring the game to PC, PlayStation 5, Pico, PlayStation VR2 and most recently iPad and Mac. And now you can use the iPad version as a compatible app to play on Apple Vision Pro. Imagine playing Demeo on the largest screen possible with intuitive gestures for rolling dice and moving minis! This version is complete with direct and indirect input gestures as well as full gamepad support.
The Long Road to Demeo Battles
When we first envisioned Demeo – long before its 2021 release – it was more than just a game. Demeo was conceived as a whole world filled with stories and adventures. But even more than that, it was conceived of as a system. A toybox where we could take the pieces everyone would come to know and love and find new ways to play with them, delivering more excitement than could ever be contained to just one release.
What is Mixed Reality?
With new headsets coming to the market, including the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3, there are a lot of buzzwords and confusing terms in the industry right now when it comes to everything under the “XR” or “spatial computing” umbrella. So, we at Resolution Games have set out to clear up a few things.
How We Approached Map-Making in Demeo Battles
Demeo, the first game in the Demeo Action Role-Playing System, introduced players to five distinct environments to explore: from the dangerous depths of the Elven Necropolis to the sewers under Sunderhaven, the druid-filled Drych Forest, the sun-scorched Ronth Desert, and the tainted town of Ends.

What does a Narrative Department do?
“You write the story, right?”
Well, sort of.
The idea of a narrative department is still surprisingly new in the games industry. Even within development teams, there’s not a lot of knowledge about what people involved in narrative for games actually do and what they can do.

How Demeo’s Lore Came To Be
There’s a master doc I’ve written for Demeo containing all of the lore for the game.
It’s 130 pages long. I know that’s a lot. It’s almost like this massive beast that feels a bit daunting once you meet it the first time.

Creating Dedicated Mixed Reality Mayhem with Spatial Ops
At Resolution Games, we’re always experimenting to discover what’s possible when you combine big ideas with new technologies. Sometimes these experiments make their way into the public eye, like when we showed off Demeo running on next generation Snapdragon-powered AR glasses at AWE, or when Meta showed our early Quest Pro experiment Fish Under Our Feet in a showcase for their Presence platform.
