Got Something to Say About XR, VR, or Game Dev? We’re Handing You the Mic
Ever feel like you’re grinding through builds, launch loops, and marketing chaos—and nobody's talking about your kind of experience? At Clique, we believe the best stories in XR come from the creators who’ve actually lived them. So we’re turning the blog over to you.
The Clique Blog has always been a space for devs to get real; sharing postmortems, hard-won lessons, and no-fluff tactics that actually work. But XR is too big, too weird, and moving too fast for one voice. That’s why we’re opening up the mic to developers, artists, writers, marketers, and anyone else building in the trenches of immersive tech.
If you’ve been through it—and have something useful to say—we want to feature your story.
Why We’re Doing This
Clique wasn’t built to be another gatekeeper brand—it was built to empower creators. Especially the scrappy ones. The indie ones. The underdogs.
XR is still niche, still misunderstood, and still evolving fast. And that means the most valuable insights aren’t coming from studios with PR teams. They’re coming from you: the builders making it work on limited budgets, weird pipelines, and pure persistence.
Your story matters. We’re here to amplify it.
Who This Is For
This is for creators with battle scars. For people who’ve shipped games with $14 and a dream. For devs who’ve bricked a build 10 minutes before launch—and still found a way to ship. This is your space if:
You’ve solved weird technical problems with duct tape and prayers
You’ve launched, pivoted, ported, or rebuilt from scratch
You’ve got spicy takes on the current or future state of XR
You’re building now—not just talking about it
This is not a popularity contest. We don’t care if you have 20 followers or 20,000. We care about the story you tell, what others can learn from it, and how real it is.
Sound familiar? Then this mic is for you.
What You Can Write About
We’re not looking for perfection—we’re looking for truth. Here’s what makes a great Clique post:
How you broke something, fixed it, and lived to tell the tale
What happened when you launched, pivoted, or ported
Dev logs, postmortems, or juicy case studies
Player psychology, storytelling, or design insights in immersive spaces
Tactical tips for marketing, pitching, or surviving VR Twitter
Strong opinions on the future of XR (no fence-sitting allowed)

Final Word
XR doesn’t need more sanitized think pieces. It needs truth. It needs your story. Your weird solution. Your failure-turned-lesson. Your opinion that no one else has the guts to share.
So if you’ve lived through it, and you’ve got something to say, this mic is yours.
Let the underdogs speak.
