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?

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.

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??

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

This type of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities (...incidentally, it's very legal in Spirit Crossing)

In the centered foreground, a player-character dressed in a green sweater wears a fox-themed backpack and fox ears on white hair. They're looking at the entrance to a "waystation", a small village comprised of other players. Trees are beautifully colored in orange, yellow, and red around the player to signify fall colors are here.

They're standing on a dark wooden balcony of a teashop overlooking nearby rooftops in the village. It's evening with a warm purple sunset tint to the cloudy sky. There are string lights and lit up windows + marquees to the nearby buildings. The player is playing a song on a string instrument and white music notes drift above them.
