Trans Thursday Update
[h2]Happy Thursday, Spirit Swappers! [/h2]
Spring is in the air, today is officially Trans Day of Visibility, AND we’ve got an update special for YOU!
With conventions and events cropping back up, we’ve been busy both developing the game AND participating in a few digital panels and talks. But before we get into that…
[h2]Movin’ and Groovin’ [/h2]
This month, we wanted to put together another devlog for you to watch and enjoy! Fashion and customization is a major component of our game -- and one y’all have been SUPER excited to hear more about -- so we wanted to show some behind-the-scenes on how this system is coming along, and how it works.

Thanks to our Lead Technical Artist, Chris, for taking some time to share a bit more about how we get the cast of Spirit Swap dancing, and just how important that is for the foundation of our fashion system.
As always, thanks to Sam for the WIP clothing selections, Khei and Chris for the animation, and Morgan and Réjon for the wireframes and implementation featured in the video as well!
[h2]The MIX 2022 - Black Voices in Gaming[/h2]
Chris also had the opportunity to be on another broadcast! We also were featured on The MIX during their Black Voices in Gaming stream a couple of weeks ago: be sure to check that out via their VOD!
They're a great org that highlights a wide variety of indie games and their dev teams, so be sure to check out the rest of the show too!
[h2]GDC 2022 - Unity Panel[/h2]
While a bit more developer-centric, Alex and Réjon also participated in a panel during GDC! Thanks to Unity for hosting, and friend of the studio - Josh Boykin - for moderating, and be sure to have a listen if you want to learn all about designing impactful games!

That’s it for this month! Hope you enjoyed this update! Got questions? Let us know via Twitter, our Discord, TikTok, or here in the comments! And see you next month!
Love,
The Spirit Swap Team
