it feels seasonally appropriate to highlight a very specific item that our community has been finding room in their hearts for.

meet.. the Dead Neep.

they've even received fanart (thank you snotater!)
a digital image showcasing several screenshots from the game Spirit Crossing of an item called the "Dead Neep", a tortured-looking old turnip with a disturbed expression.

✍️ our newest developer blog comes from Justin, one of our Art Leads at Spry Fox.

Justin sat down to walk us through the inspirations & thoughts that went into concepting the visuals for the Shrineworks in Spirit Crossing.

let's have a read!

A digital illustration showcasing concept art for "Shrineworks", living stone structures in the world of Spirit Crossing (a game being developed by Spry Fox.) The structures are beige-grey and covered with moss. An assortment of tubes is sticking out of them in a life-like manner.

anyway I'll never forget her remorse/attempt at apology after seeing me cry because it helped form my deep-rooted "I don't think people inherently want to be mean" belief that I've been desperately trying to cling to

it's also a fascinating memory for me because it involves an adult yelling and swearing at me, who was by all accounts technically a child in charge of supervising other children operating heavy machinery for $9/hr, trying to keep her children safe

Low key one of my favorite little tricks we do is, we designed our fog with a gradient on top to push tall skybox geo darker to make sure it would pop against the sky properly- and I realized we could use it to fake alpenglow during twilight making it brighter instead of darker.

While designing all the nooks and crannies of Spirit Crossing, we're embracing what one of our players has lovingly referred to as "aimless spaces."

Thank you all for loving these spaces as much as we do. 🧡

CRDM3 was my first project undertaking with strange scaffold. very near and dear to me. I drew a dinosona. I encouraged game developers to roleplay. I photoshopped a clown map that someone at The Guardian laughed at. and the wit, heart, and chaos is alive & well in CRDM1. super proud of y'all.
a picture of me pointing at the logo I made for strange scaffold to announce creepy redneck dinosaur mansion 3, which is a sequel to creepy redneck dinosaur mansion 1, which is now out on steam. the logo is shiny gold and involves a threatening little green dinosaur in it. it's also set against a match-3 game board.
