join something today and show up to the meetings. DSA, WFP, your local friends of the library, literally anything. Sublimate your despair into action.

Eh fuck it, I'll shoot my shot. If you need someone to helm voiceover for your project, I pretty much do it all: casting actors, directing recording sessions, helping navigate agencies/unions/etc, you name it. 100% "damn this voice acting's awesome" rate 😊

checking in on my baby animals in Palia

I interviewed Roblox's head of parental advocacy for Vulture about safety on the platform 👀

wheeeeeeeeeeeee

haven't had much energy to post anymore because i just want to non-verbally make tired sounds so pretend i'm doing that

old doodles

i like this lil game a lot

Eudora is the only Bear I designed for Spirit Crossing! I just love her so much. 🤍 I plan on showing more behind the scenes and fun details surrounding all the Bears I designed for Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit soon, so stay tuned for that!

deeply unimpressed

shutting my brain off for the first time in 80 years by playing Palia while 3 hours of Jeopardy plays in the background on the TV

our lovely artists recently dug up some early development footage for some of the systems in Spirit Crossing. we decided to put together a fun little side-by-side comparison to share with you all, starting with our glider system!

happy birthday to me & happy valentine's day to you

happy birthday @spryfox.bsky.social ! what a cool group of people to learn from and get to collaborate with. as we navigate returning to indie and quite literally *all* that entails, the best birthday gift is to wishlist Spirit Crossing on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/2321960/Spirit_Crossing/

the emoji reactions from the Pekis in Palia are burned into my brain

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. reddit.com/r/SpiritCrossing/

for the first time in a minute i'm putting together a themed drawing prompt list. haven't done this since mayshroom ages ago. i'd love your help though, could y'all tell me your favorite flowers / botanicals? 💛

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. www.tumblr.com/strangescaff...

If you're looking for an incredible producer who cares deeply about the people she works with and the projects she works on, then Tami's the one.

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. 🫂

can't express enough the joy this game and its development process brings me ..

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!

waiting for the sun

let the dam in your heart shatter, and the pain that floods forth compel you to action

saving this for later when people tell me we should move on or whatever

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

cosplay of my scared wet dog little man,, so happy to see it in my lifetime

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

i can't remember if i ever introduced her over here but this is Rooibos

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: www.inprnt.com/gallery/paol...

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

i made soup for like a month straight in october and i've been thinking about all that soup ever since

glad to nestle in next to all the other worker-owned studios out here as we try to make something cool together

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

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

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
