A friend of mine brought over his VR headset just to show it to me and I spent the first 3 hours just smashing bottles because I'd never experienced VR before.

What's up #gamedev & #indiedev friends!

I've entered my hardcore game pitching era and I'm curious if y'all have suggestions for publishers I should be getting in touch with. Any you're especially fond of lately?

Bonus points if they love RPG/narrative-focused games!
