We named our mascot! FeLix the Ogre

Ironroot Games@ironrootgames.com

Our furry guy has a name! Introducing: FeLix the Ogre! Named by @karenjohana.bsky.social, not only does his name mean “lucky, successful,” but "FeLix" includes the atomic symbol for iron (Fe). We couldn’t have asked for a more auspicious name for our mascot!

Thank you for the amazing opportunity to be interviewed. Vic was so kind and generous throughout the whole interview process. @elainegomez.bsky.social and I both really enjoyed our chat with her. Great article!

Vic Hood (Parkes)@h00dwinked.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the folks at @ironrootgames.com about making their new studio a safe place for its devs. There’s no compromise, they want to put their people first and foremost.

Jonathan Cooper is a stand up guy. Love him for speaking up like this.

Jacob Geller@jacobgeller.com

I often think about Jonathan Cooper's posts about TLOU2, that the studio ran out of seasoned game animators because its reputation was so bad and thus had to hire film folks who had to be taught how to put games together.

NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

…and of course for our little ogre mascot! Here’s some “internal fanart” that Gabrielle Snow did of the logo she designed. What a cute little fella! Which has us thinking… does this ogre need a name?

Today I can announce an exciting collaboration of friends and former colleagues, we've formed Ironroot Games, a new independent game studio. We are a developer-owned studio where games are crafted by care for both developers and players in mind. We can't wait to show what we're working on!

CNBC: "Microsoft reported nearly $26 billion in net income on $70 billion in revenue for the March quarter. The numbers were well ahead of Wall Street’s consensus, keeping Microsoft ranked as one of the most profitable companies in the S&P 500 index, according to data compiled by FactSet."

That's my project... Looking for work now.
