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 screenshot from the game Spirit Crossing from the studio Spry Fox. pictured is a small square-shaped brown bear with pink inner ears & pink blush below dotted black eyes. his large beige eyebrows give him a slightly blank, slightly perplexed expressions. in dialogue, he asks "I don't suppose you have any bagels in those human pockets of yours?" and your response options are "Nope, fresh out.", "All I've got is pocket lint. Want some?", and "I left them in my other pockets."

the bear stands on a wooden floor. behind him is a grey wall, a pile of rocks, and a set of wooden doors.

messy doodle homage to hanging out playing music in spirit crossing

digital illustration of a character with white hair and a ball cap wearing a fox-themed backpack which reaches out with its paw to a butterfly. they're sitting on a mossy rock playing a mandolin-like instrument. the colors are purple-tinted like a sunset. on their left and right side are two blue-tinted spirit-shaped creatures watching them play.

This game brings me so much joy 🍄

A screenshot from the video game Cozy Grove 2. The screenshot depicts my character wearing a cute orange dress, long red hair and a big red mushroom hat petting Snugula the snail, who has a similarly red mushroom on their shell.

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. 🧡
