Tire Boy sits in the grass next to giant skeleton. It's golden hour and the lighting is pretty.

Thomas Tobin (@thomastobin3d.bsky.social‬) is art directing Tire Boy! But more than that, he built a pipeline for procedural map generation (using Houdini) that is getting more exciting features every week. Here's a talk he gave at GDC about it a couple years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN3P...

Andy Chmilenko (@lanowen.sucks‬) is building systems & tools for Tire Boy! Andy is a physics major but for some reason he is making Tire Boy. We appreciate him for it. He worked on a bunch of mobile games (LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, Uno & Friends) and other cool real time 3D projects.

Gerald Orban is writing gameplay camera code for Tire Boy! Also a co-creator of Cinemachine and Black Eye, Gerald also has a storied career in games (skate 3!!! jeez)

Adam Myhill (@adammyhill.bsky.social‬) is directing cinematic sequences for Tire Boy! He's best known for co-creating Unity's Cinemachine camera system and more recently Black Eye for Unreal, and is a legendary fixture in video games (he worked on NBA Street Vol. 2! i mean cmon)

Ian Wang is the incredible animator that brought Tire Boy to life! And many other things in the game. He's worked on NHL/UFC games, as well as the indie battle racing game Rocket Rumble.
