👋 Hi, I Am Simon "Darkside" Jackson

  • I am a developer focusing on Mixed Reality Solutions and the MetaVerse.
  • I have published several Unity titles, including Mastering Unity 2D Game Development and Unity UI Essentials, more to come in 2023!!
  • I built the Microsoft Mixed Reality Toolkit V2 (with friends) and then evolved to the XRTK and eventually the Reality Toolkit, further evolving multi-platform XR development.
  • I also maintain and publish the Service Framework (in the Reality Collective) which is the best and most performant way to build projects in Unity.
  • I have been a Microsoft Mixed Reality MVP since 2014 (Since 2004 with the change in programs)
  • I am honored to be one of the first Microsoft Game Development Ambassadors since the program launched in 2021, helping devs with the MS Game Dev stack.
  • For several years I have been an Xbox MVP helping the dev community get up and running with publishing to Xbox/Windows. Sadly the program is being retired in 2023 and being replaced with another Ambassador program. (hoping to join that journey too)
  • I publish and maintain the Unity UI Extensions project, packaging up the best the community has to offer for Unity UI components, utilities and "stuff".
  • I blog "fairly" regularly on my Personal blog about all things game development related or just cool tech.
  • Amongst the various public projects I have worked on (sooo many) the one I was most proud of is the Fizzyo project, making games and a game framework to gamify the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis for kids, so much fun.
