American developer Spry Fox has joined Netflix. Now the serial colossus has six internal game studios.

Epic increases the portfolio of published games. Today it became known that the Fortnite developer has taken on publishing future projects of two studios — from the veteran of the indie scene Spry Fox, responsible for the emergence of the merge genre, and from the newly launched Eyes Out team, organized by the designer Spec-Ops: The Line together with the guitarist Nine Inch Nails.

Spry Fox, the creators of the game Triple Town, announced the trial launch of a new project called Alphabear. This word game is already available on the App Store and Google Play in New Zealand.

The death of retail, the ease of releasing games on the shelves of the App Store and Google Play, the monopolization of digital PC retail by Steam, the cheapening of development tools, the popularization of free-to-play – all this raised the indie movement a few years ago and, in fact, killed the publishing model. But it is quite possible that very soon we will witness its return to the market.
