genuinely one of the thrills of getting to work on a life sim is opening our playground\gymnasium maps and flying through them

at Spry Fox, we're interested in designing games that answer meaningful questions and inspire conversation. ..and sometimes that conversation is: what if there were little guys everywhere??

In case you missed it in all the holiday noise, we're teaming up with @lostincult.co.uk to bring you a physical edition of I Am Your Beast! We highly recommend zooming in on the details for this one - it's a beauty. Available to pre-order now: lostincult.co.uk/shop/p/i-edition-gw2stamyb

we've got weird little guys

this has felt like an important project to work on as someone who grew up immersed in virtual community-building + recognizing the now-more-than-ever importance of being offline and finding local community. I celebrate the idea of virtual spaces as complements to your daily routine vs. replacements

At a point the thing that helps most is not Endless Information but doing something real. And having something to nourish that will in turn nourish us for having put our attention there does genuinely help. At least it helps me. Find or reconnect with (or just enjoy) what gives you this feeling.

The danger is you become self-satisfied by tossing some money to charity and shrugging your shoulders but if you recognize that you need to do more but can do something good at this second it really does make a difference for this feeling of helplessness to just do something good, even if it’s small

and there's tea, clothing, books, medicine, and (somehow) instruments inside of vending machines all on the same block

friend & i have been working on a visual novel w/ bug characters for a while and i found some of my "it's 9pm and my brain is fried, how do i want to characterize a bee" doodles

i'm not sure where all of you are coming from but hello !! if you're here for doodles then the good news is it's a habit i plan to pick back up more regularly this year. anyway happy new year everyone

I will be looking for new employment in 2026 — it’s been a great 4+ years with Spry Fox, but I am ready to explore something new. If you have any engineering roles you think I’d be suited for, please let me know! I am a jack of all trades with a strong focus on empathy, and experience as a lead.

everyone I've worked with has taught me something but I am especially grateful to Chris for encouraging me to retain my whimsy

Manda somehow made entire mountains move with this project so you should try to make this one if you can ❤️

That's a hell of a lot of video games to enjoy over the break! Also, look at the little Clickold @christapaolucci.com drew! She's the best at "lilguyification".

The Winter Gathering is live through 12/25! That means there's still plenty of time for photo ops, gingerbread castles, and giant, merry fluffalo chains in the Village Center (though you can really do that last part whenever you like..) ❄️ ☃️ playspiritcrossing.com

The Indie Game Awards air on Dec. 18th, streaming on IGN, GameSpot, and Six One Indie. It’s not a night for new trailers, but a night to celebrate global devs who swung for the fences with unrestricted creative freedom. 🕐 IGAs Countdown: 6:30 PM ET 🏆 Ceremony: 6:50 PM ET 🔗 www.indiegameawards.gg

Winter time is such a cozy vibe in Spirit Crossing ❄️🏔️

it's been a delight to see all the ways you're embracing Camera Mode. 🧡 here's just a couple examples captured by our Discord members! some of you are spending time capturing the winter scenery.. others of you are documenting mismatched NPC socks.. (yes, we see you)

i just watched my entire life flash before my eyes

little bit of wintertime

There’s never been a better time to jump in and try the alpha :) Also keep your eyes peeled for the Wholesome Snack showcase!

interesting weeks ahead. 🫂 anyway, catch the Wholesome Snack showcase on Tuesday. and be kind to each other :)

Thanks so much to @startmenu.bsky.social for having me for their Winter Spectacular! This was my first time being asked to write a guest feature, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out! Blue Prince isn’t just my personal GOTY, it felt like THE game that captured the absurdity of 2025. 🏠🗝️🚪

this came out looking so good

🎁💛

so proud and excited for anything this team does

still thinking about Frankenstein's creature. what's he up to

meandering toward december .. somehow ..

yeah i rolled a pea and then immediately gave it to this guy who had no idea what to do with it

watching the new defunctland WHY'D THEY MAKE ALL THE LITTLE GUYS BE LIKE THAT

my favorite open-exploration game activities: - perch on top of a high point and stare down at everyone like a weird corvid - be surprised by giant moon
