When I see devs talking about and defending themselves using genAI I see them like a mr beast or the Paul brothers. You may find success but I’m never going to engage with what you make but I’ll definitely call it out for a net negative for the industry you’re helping to push for in the long run.

It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

Bobby Mars on Twitter writes: "If you wear a collared shirt and nice shoes out to the bar in the rust belt, multiple people will ask you if you just came from a wedding. Aesthetic standards for men’s attire are horrendously low"

This isnt for us. This is an attempt to capture new audiences so I understand its purpose, even if it is a little... Lucasfilm-ey Do I think Nintendo needs to like... Tell something new because outside of xenoblade and Fire emblem all their games is just the same game over and over. That's a yes

Kay Vess, ND-5, Nix, and the Trailblazer! #StarWarsOutlaws fanart, since it's been a while since a game has grabbed me this much <3

Star Wars: Outlaws videogame fanart by Eleonor Piteira featuring ND-5 a droid with a long coat, Kay Vess a young human woman with brown short hair holding a blaster, Nix a axolotl-inspired creature with fur and scales on Kay's shoulder, and a small spaceship called Trailblazer flying in front of them amongst stars. Orange/yellow sunlight illuminates them from the back.

Peeps saying we're about to enter a golden age for Star Wars games when Star Wars Outlaws launched 2 years ago today smh. Yeah. I'll say it. IMO Outlaws is the goat star wars game and I'm not asking for your rebuttals because you'd be wrong and I want to save you the embarrassment.

Two years ago today, and the statements below still stand. I really miss working on this game; opening the editor and getting to live inside Star Wars every day was such a thrill, and I'm still not fully over it. Not sure I will be. What a wild thing to be a part of and what a fantastic team it was.

While Zero Company has just been released, Star Wars Outlaws—the latest SW game that wasn't a remaster, a VR game, or a Monopoly spin-off—came out exactly two years ago today. It's too bad there won't be a sequel to the adventures of Kay and ND-5, because I had a really good time with this game.

While I'm still posting stuff I've worked on or made in the past, here's one I'm very proud of still: I reimagined Rimmer's Rest - the seedy Nar Shaddaa bar from Star Wars: Dark Forces II Jedi Knight - in Unreal Engine 4. It's very small, but free and playable! :) youtu.be/I-sSPI8jlUs
