I hope we'll get to see it. Ive been replaying the original two on my tablet on mobile and I fully believe those two games are the ones that turned me into a Star Wars fan.. the Revan & Malak story, and in the 2nd part Kreia and the grey jedi... amazing stuff, mysticism galore

I'm yearning for a new MMO that encasulates the slow pace that Classic WOW captures as well as making the world the main character. While being a true RPG. None have stuck with me as much as Classic did. The level of choice during the 1-60 journey is just unmatched.
Love the modding love a lot of studios are providing these days, BG3 tools, now the Hogwarts legacy tools.
If you want your game to sell forever and have a thriving community - give em then tools to keep it alive and itll keep your revenue stream alive. Even if you make a sequel!
Its one of the most interesting things in games to me, witnessing evolving player strategies, change in map knowledge as well as pushing/camping tactics, varying loadout usage, meeting different tiers of players and how much they buy into a meta, how tryhard people are playing in each bracket etc.

The first 150 hours I didnt know what the hell I was doing, the next 100 hours were "4 star gameplay", then the next 100 were legit 5 star gameplay.
Very fun how the game dynamic completely changes each MMR bracket!
Although I live in a different country than my german friends, our #D&D group is still going strong!
I can no longer DM (pretty hard as the only remote person in the party) but I can still take part in it as they are so kind to put up a laptop+webcam in my spot every week ♥️ What a gang!
Living the A24 lifestyle 🙏

Each studio is different. Some are design driven, some art driven, some engineering driven. That often makes a HUGE difference in decision making.
And there will be pain. Shit rolls downhill, as they say, and when the project encounters big issues that means those high up have the sad job of figuring out how to spread it out and who can afford to take the hardest hit. If you're that one, you take it on the chin and you deal. This is the job.
22.12.2024 03:31 — 👍 223 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0You also need to keep in mind that projects are constantly in flux. Problems that were thought solved need re-solving. The team falls behind schedule and scope needs to change. You are constantly in a dance, within your tiny box, trying to figure out sub-optimal solutions that cause the least pain.
22.12.2024 03:30 — 👍 219 🔁 6 💬 2 📌 0A fun way to check if you've got an original concept! Just try to generate concept art for that idea that you have, and if Midjourney & co are struggling to portray what you have in your head, you've struck gold & have something actually original on your hands, now go make it ;)

At some point the MC finds Maximus armor like a legendary upgrade 💀
