Let us re-introduce ourselves: We're Spry Fox! We want to make the world a happier place and we’re using games to do it. 😊 Follow us as we make Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, a sequel to our cozy life sim game, Cozy Grove.

Scouts, meet Kumari, one of the first Bears you’ll run into in Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit! Kumari gets straight to business, but maybe you can help soften her papery edges. 💌

We're looking for a Senior Gameplay Engineer! (Note: the site says "USA" but we are fully remote and hire people all over the world, as long as you can respect our core hours of 10am to 2pm PST.) jobs.netflix.com/jobs/332319698

🚨LAUNCH DATE🚨 After 2 and half years, we have a launch date for Kamaeru!! ✨🐸 See you on June 8th during #WholesomeDirect !

I've been made redundant from Roll7 alongside a host of wonderful and talented people. I'm a better dev and a better *person* for having shipped games with them, and I'm heartbroken that we won't ship more. This goes for the studio heads as much as anyone.

Thank you to everyone who came by to demo Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit at #SummerGameFest this weekend! We loved meeting you all and received so much valuable feedback. 🏕️ We're just 2 weeks away from launch - It's not too late to pre-register! Link in bio ⬆️

This is the game I have been dreaming about building for thirty years. raphkoster.com/2024/06/28/ann… It sounds lofty… and it is.

After designing Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride, I’m super proud to announce that my first solo game dev project Feed the Deep is out... NOW! Feed an eldritch horror before it feeds on you as you explore deep-sea caves and manage limited resources in this underwater roguelite.
