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

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

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??

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
This type of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities

(...incidentally, it's very legal in Spirit Crossing)

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

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.

Manda somehow made entire mountains move with this project so you should try to make this one if you can ❤️
With the GDC schedule live, I can let you all know that I will be speaking for the second year in a row. I'll be breaking down how we made TMNT: Tactical Takedown happen in 18 months. I'll talk big stuff, little stuff, challenges, and celebrations! schedule.gdconf.com/session/buil...
