A team without a field manual is a little like a boat without a rudder. It floats, but it probably won’t take you where you want to go.
The Field Guide
Principles for a Shifting World
The 1st edition of the Pixel Dreams Field Manual was published in April 2019. That was a different world, one that was being turned on its head.
At the best of times, you don’t need a fallback. You move forward, unimpeded and carefree. But veer off in the wrong direction, crack the face of a hidden iceberg, and the value of a grounding philosophy — a behavioral and attitudinal roadmap — becomes remarkably clear.
That’s what our Field Manual is for.
Our Field Manual won’t give you the answer to every obstacle or crisis. It’s not a solution to the problems you’re facing. It’s a context and a perspective, a set of guiding principles that have evolved with us over the years.
Our Field Manual is a handy reference to our core values, aesthetics, and purpose. In untrying times, it’s a comforting artifact, stashed in your wallet, inside-breast pocket, or in the hidden compartment of your shoulder bag. But when the dagger-like teeth come out, or your spectacular descent hits turbulence, it’s a lifeline.
