I'm looking for examples of games that intuitively let the player rotate 3D objects in multiple axes. Hopefully something more accessible than the typical 3D program "3-rings" gizmo. Currently I'm browsing build/decorate-mode UIs. Any recommendations?

hi!! do you make gameplay video content? are you interested in flying alpacas, tiny bears, dancing spirits, grizzled yet kindly wilderness men and beautiful women in tea shops with knives?? and if all of that were in cozy multiplayer game, would you think "dang I'd sure love to make videos of that"?

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...

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

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.

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...

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??

A 16-year-old baby is born! Miracles do happen.

After three years under the Netflix umbrella, Spry Fox is once again a fully independent studio. As a studio, we’ve managed to somehow survive countless industry upheavals and release a whole lot o…

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

BTW, Spirit Crossing is coming to Steam. The goal is to create a major Cozy MMO with a huge population of folks making friends in a safe and welcoming space. I deeply believe we can make the world a better place. If this interests you, please wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/2321960/...

dragon lady next to me at the second life rave was too close and her wings kept clipping through my player model. I didn't mind but she apologied each and every time it happened. chat was filled with hundreds of variations of "oop sowwie >_<!! xoxo" and "uaah! not again! orz" by the end of the night
