Happy US Pride month 🏳️‍🌈 Screenshot taken from the game Spirit Crossing by @spryfox.bsky.social , which just launched its Open Beta phase on Steam!

Wishlist the #SpiritCrossing Steam Beta! This game is about building community together, helping each other, and weathering the storm together. It’s got all the building, customization, and creativity you crave - but it’s also just got a lot of heart. Please help us get it out to the world 🧡

What @justinoaksford.bsky.social didn't mention was the IMMEDIATE reaction of the playerbase when this concept art was shared on the #SpiritCrossing discord 🤣

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

New update for #SpiritCrossing is out on mobile! There are a ton of features in this build (many of which are setting up some even bigger changes to come during our Steam Beta... 👀) But mostly you should play this build because new Frog Hat. 🐸💚 #Art #GameDev

Turnip butts are a visual pillar of #SpiritCrossing. We are not taking questions at this time. 🧐

Spry Fox@spryfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

artists: come quick it's urgent me: what happened?? artists: we gave the turnips little butts :)

I was super excited to get to build Marj, one of our queer NPC's. There's one easter egg in #SpiritCrossing that I think has gone largely unnoticed and might be my favorite...the tattoo on her arm is Violets - Lesbian Violets, iconography that started with Sappho. 🥹🧡💛🤍🩷💜 #Art #CharacterArt #GameDev

This cinematic is one of my favorite moments - it helps welcome new players to the Crosslands by teasing some of the interesting things you'll discover in #SpiritCrossing! The Fluffalo mounts and Sky Whales were SO much fun to make. #GameDev #Art @spryfox.bsky.social

We're so excited to bring Camp Spirit to Steam! If the world is feeling overwhelming right now (understandably...) this game is a beautiful space to spend an hour a day to let your mind rest a bit. Also, look at @yuemi22.bsky.social's gorgeous art. 🤩 #IndieGameDev #Steam

A cool thing we added to Spirit Crossing recently is ✨emissive clothing ✨! All in game clothing is dye-able (with the exception of a few very special items), but there's a set of Mythic dyes that give your outfit glowing neon details and it's been really fun to see players be creative with it!

Looking to achieve the ultimate sassy hair flip? ✨Enter: Anim dynamics ✨ #Art #CharacterArt #GameDev #SpiritCrossing

This is a simple one! There's flashier stuff to show, but sometimes you must eat your vegetables.🥦 For characters, a solid foundation includes clean edge flow and understanding how you want it to deform. This is my fav method for joints (from Spirit Crossing character documentation).

Spirit Crossing 14.7 is now live! 🧡 we've got.. 🌳 big tree changes 🏙️ new decor and hairstyles 🚂 fluffalo train ride boosts 🎨 art changes & improvements + requested Quality of Life updates! available now on Android and iOS (via Testflight) + more details here. ↓ spryfox.com/spirit-cross...

Spirit Crossing | Patch Notes for Version 14.7

Greetings, wanderers! Spry Fox is turning 16 years old today! 🥳And we have even more reason to celebrate, with the release of the 14.7 update that brings with it balancing changes to waystation tre…

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/

As promised: Faces! 😁 Here's a thread about some technical details for how stylized faces get made in Spirit Crossing. 🧵 The game is inspired by media like Ghibli and BotW, but our faces are unique. There was lots of early discussion about face style & we landed on dot-eyes early...

Tami is an ✨amazing✨ producer - she is going to be sorely missed at Spry Fox. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

tami lam@cuppy.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Hey folks so I’m not good at this but, I’m a Sr. Producer seeking work! 💼 20 years of game production XP across Netflix Games/Spry Fox, Bungie, Blizzard, Zynga, Riot Games, and more ⭐️ indie, AAA, PC/console/mobile, 8-400 person teams, internal and ex-dev www.linkedin.com/in/cuppycake...

A huge part of Spirit Crossing's visual style is the cel-shading and outlines! Everything is modeled for the appearance of these shaders and how it renders in Unreal. That means using soft edges where you don't want an outline and hard edges where you do.🧵

here's a peek at something special- our improvisation system for musical instruments! moving up\down\left\right adds improvised notes & shifts pose per instrument, expressing the deepest movements of your soul 🎵 And when accompanying others, we give like instruments varied tracks 👀

In case you've been like "wow justin sure is posting about Spirit Crossing a lot"- it's because the spinout from Netflix means we are indie once more, and not only that- but are now joining the ranks of employee-owned indie studios! A very big step.

Daniel Cook@danctheduck.bsky.social · 7mo ago

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. spryfox.com/a-16-year-ol...

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 😊
