On September 23-27, 2021, the 6th annual Game Devs of Color Expo⁠ will feature sessions with Oculus Launch Pad developers Fishean Studio (creators of Our America VR) and No Static Games (creators of Supersonic Rhyme Chamber).

Game Devs of Color Expo is “dedicated to amplifying the creative power held by people of color in games.” The Expo will feature microtalks, presentations, panels, and interviews with creators of color from around the world. This year’s speakers will cover a wide array of topics, including game art and design, community do’s and don’ts, remote team management, how to start your own studio, and more.

Featured experiences⁠ from Oculus Launch Pad developers include:

Our America VR⁠
Fishean Studio
What starts as a simple commute for Malcolm and his dad quickly escalates into a life-or-death encounter that both father and son must be cautious to survive. Put on your VR headset and see life through the eyes of a Black father in the U.S. as you take a ride in Our America.

Supersonic Rhyme Chamber⁠
No Static Games
What is the Supersonic Rhyme Chamber? That’s a great question! Some know it as an ethereal dimension that you are transported to when you engage in a rap battle. Others recognize it as a centennial tournament where the greatest rappers from around the multiverse gather to compete for the chance to be crowned the Supersonic Rhyme Champion!

Supersonic Rhyme Chamber (aka SRC) is a VR rap & rhythm game where you are dropped into a world that is ruled by rhyme and flow, and you must learn the ways of hip-hop to make your way back home! Rap battle your way through colorful lands as you encounter strong rivals and the dopest of friends. As you improve your skills and collect all the keys, will you be able to become a legendary MC?
