Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

Camp Spirit is coming to Steam!! Super proud of this weird dead bear game; hope that players who loved the first game will find a familiar home and new players will be dreadfully delighted by our mixture of cozy fishing, emotional story telling, and institutional negligence.

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.

oh yeah, the flying alpaca are called fluffalo you uh. you throw cookies at their face to get them to land nearby so you and others can shear their gnarly butts for wool

BTW, Spirit Crossing is coming to Steam. The goal is to create a major Cozy MMO with a huge population of folks making friends in a safe and welcoming space. I deeply believe we can make the world a better place. If this interests you, please wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/2321960/...
