Dude cmon. You can't talk about this without also talking about the driving force behind why its happened.
Wheres the Geoff who stood on stage and bashed Konami for not letting Kojima attend the Game Awards that time?
Speak up and actually use your platform to help devs.
The team at

Hey folks.
Gonna be pausing development on ROOST for the foreseeable future as I may be affected by the layoffs occurring at Sumo.
It's taken a toll on my mental health and I can't handle game dev stuff outside of my day job work commitments.
I'll be back soon 💔

Still praying the studio does something with the massive foundation that was The Skywalker Saga.
It's got explorable planets, space combat etc
A shorter dev cycle, 'asset flip' sequel in the veins Majora's Mask, New Vegas, Vice City etc would be so welcome right now.

During development, I ended up working on blaster combat, mainly working to improve the core control & feel of the shooting gameplay. I wanted to move away from the old style of aiming found in previous TT titles, to allow players to move, aim and shoot as freely as possible.

Had my first "god I'm old" game dev moment yesterday.
Was looking at an amazing student project that was like a blend of DOOM 2016, Titanfall 2 and FEAR.
I said I love how much FEAR DNA it had.
The student replied.
"Oh I haven't played that, but my dad has."

ODST's diegetic waypoint system still impresses the hell out of me to this day. All of the monitors and adverts becoming directions is just *chef's kiss*. Never understood why it wasn't more widely adopted in other games.

This is evident of a larger issue at play with how players have been conditions to interact and play games.
There's an entire generation who have never been "asked anything" from a game in the mainstream.

I really hate how games are still viewed as this time wasting apparatus.
Games have some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard across film & TV combined.
Not that it matters, but one could argue that video game soundtracks are a more impressive feat than scoring a movie.
Last night, 39-year-old composer Ludwig Göransson won his second Academy Award for his score to ‘Oppenheimer’. In a heartfelt speech, he thanked his parents for giving him his foundation in music.

Absolutely gutted about the character customiser not making it in the The Skywalker Saga.

Hi! We'd like to address this point directly. This interview was from 2019, and sometimes features change throughout development.
We can confirm that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga doesn’t have character customisation, but we do have 300+ characters for you to choose from.

I'd have to disagree. In my opinion, demystifying the process only makes the art of something even more compelling. Behind the scenes of movies, art books, making of vidocs etc all of these things made me more obsessed with film, games and art in general.
