I\u2019ve been at Double Fine for almost 20 years!

Like most, I thought a lot about isolation and connection with others. I\u2019ve always been into hiking, backpacking, and spending time outdoors with my family. During the pandemic, it became even more important to me. I wondered if the wildlife around me would be all that is left in the future. Would it continue to develop, to evolve? I thought of the mycelium, the vast underground networks that connect fungi, and how they are also used by trees to share nutrients and communicate with each other.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"uploadedSrc\":\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/KEEPER-screenshot-011-Green-Sanctuary-c5c6993e24ba6609e0f7.jpg\",\"figureClassNames\":\"wp-block-image size-fullsize\",\"figureStyles\":null,\"imgClassNames\":\"wp-image-210843\",\"imgStyles\":null,\"targetWidth\":1920,\"targetHeight\":1080,\"scaleAttr\":false,\"ariaLabel\":\"Enlarge image\",\"alt\":\"\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/KEEPER-screenshot-011-Green-Sanctuary-c5c6993e24ba6609e0f7-1900x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-210843\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>I imagined an isolated island in a far-flung future without humans.

Some of my favorite movies, like \u2018The Dark Crystal\u2019 and \u2018Nausica\u00e4 of the Valley of the Wind\u2019, are about strange, otherworldly places and unusual forms of life, and both present as family-friendly films but have weirder, darker undercurrents.
