Played my first hour of Star Wars Outlaws…
It looks amazing! (gameplay is OK, misses some finesse but I definitely had fun).
Story is bombastic but interesting. I wonder if the open-world gameplay is going to keep its pace.

Just drove through Death Valley yesterday, the only thing that was really dead there was the phone reception.
With all the rain of the past weeks there are flowers thriving. :-)
Hope to see some of you at GDC next week!

Exactly 8 years ago I took a break from creating a (procedural) snowboard game to do something cool in VR. This was the first screen I posted. I would have never believed that this Space Pirate Trainer game would go so hard it kickstarted a -way better- snowboarding game called Shredders
