we now have a subreddit for Spirit Crossing!

this is a great place to share longer videos, write expressive fan lore, ask the community questions, or discuss the large knife strapped to Marj's back that you all discovered using camera mode.

just normal stuff.

over the years I have been allowed to log into accounts and go into what some might call the flow state, but to me it feels like an out-of-body experience where I wake up to 3 - 11 paragraphs.

this blog I wrote back when CRDM3 launched sums that up.

SWBTS is the last shipped title I saw directly with these beautiful people, though they know I'll continue to haunt them all. I couldn't have possibly asked to be alongside a more dedicated lead, PR crew, and producer. 🫂
@chrisslight.bsky.social and @christapaolucci.com - Two of the hardest working comms folks I know. They have elevated everything about how we talk about our games.

Hey all! After 3 years working at Netflix, we're back as an indie!

I will still be part of the amazing team at 🦊 @spryfox.bsky.social joining them on their next adventure, and I'll try sharing as much as I can about my journey and the work I do!

let the dam in your heart shatter, and the pain that floods forth compel you to action
Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

but good news for careening off cliffsides into the abyss enjoyers: you can still get the satisfaction of doing that while gracefully pronking upward like a sky gazelle on a cloud trampoline
we found that careening off cliffsides into the abyss was decidedly UN-cozy... so we introduced

cosplay of my scared wet dog little man,, so happy to see it in my lifetime
Once again I am out repping @strangescaffold.bsky.social at MAGfest! This year I decided to go as J.J. Hardwell from CRDM3, easily one of the most me-pilled games ever made. If you see me around, come say hi! (And play CRDM3 if you like weird games for total sickos lmao)

A little char design thread:

I haven't gotten to do much character design in my career so far, so it was quite fun to get to design a bunch of the NPCs who call Spirit Crossing home.

One thing you learn is that sometimes after 20 different hairstyles, your original plan was not too bad after all

just found INPRNT still promoting my prints! I don't know if I'll have bandwidth to manually make prints and merch again for a while (I know the fox beanies need to come back, I am working on it) BUT they host some of my stuff if you want any of it in print form:

Hi!👋I've been leading character art on Spirit Crossing with @spryfox.bsky.social for the last few years and, as I'm new to BlueSky, I thought I'd try sharing some of the work that's gone into making characters for an MMO over the next few months! Follow if you like characters and lil tech details 😊

a group of fluffalo is canonically called a hork btw
wishlist spirit crossing so you and your friends can hop off your flying alpacas to help strangers mine ore nodes

the hopping is actually ridiculously fun- if you are in a fluffalo follow chain, you can "dismount" hop to where the leader is

glad to nestle in next to all the other worker-owned studios out here as we try to make something cool together
Something positive: Spry Fox is spinning out of Netflix. We are independent (once again!) and preparing to launch Spirit Crossing.

We wrote up a little blog post musing about this wild adventure. Worth sharing the good news.

One thing I've always been fond of is our windows.

Having contiguous exterior\interior spaces was important to us- but early on we realized interiors needed different ambient light from the exterior to feel properly cozy
