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

✍️ our next developer blog comes from Danc, our resident Designer Fox with insights on the connections we make in online games. Danc walks us through the primary goal for Spirit Crossing and the design elements we choose to support that goal. let's take a look! → spryfox.com/2025/11/21/d...

these are always a very fun listen and I'm excited we got @juliaminamata.bsky.social on for this one!!

there's also a tiny pirate bear.. and me trying to win the tournament

You'll find no shortage of ways to decorate the skies in Spirit Crossing. There's even unique trails that follow as you soar high above the trees. 💕 (Can you spot a familiar friend as well?) Now live in open Alpha at playspiritcrossing.com 🦊

You might be a bit off beat, but we'll get you back on rhythm! We launched our I AM YOUR BEAST OST last night, and it's already flying off the shelves! Limited to 500 of this colour variant, get in while you can! @strangescaffold.bsky.social @writnelson.bsky.social lostincult.co.uk/iaybmusic

MMO energy is when you can be a little goofball

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

Soar alongside majestic sky whales, or perhaps watch them from a grassy cliff with your friends at sunset. Come play today at playspiritcrossing.com 🧡
