The sequel trilogy had a fairly mixed reception from Star Wars fans, what are your feelings about it?
They are the primary inspirations for The Outer Rim when it comes to gameplay design.
#EXANIMA MAP LVL 1 SERIES#
This TV series in its totality is arguably better than the movies.Īs I’ve mentioned earlier with the games, I highly recommend Jedi Outcast / Jedi Academy from the Jedi Knight series along with the Knights of the Old Republic series.
It masterfully fleshes out the Star Wars universe and gives a plasteel backbone to the characters in the prequels and what they should be remembered for. Specifically with the ‘Ultimate Episode Order’ (you can find that online) which restructures it chronologically. Fact-checkers are welcome.įor those of you who have not watched the TV series ‘The Clone Wars’, do yourself a favour and watch that. What are your favourites?įun fact, I wasn’t much of a Star Wars turbo nerd when I first started the project but I have had to do a fair amount of research into the lore, wikis, and books in order to create The Outer Rim in a way that respects both the Star Wars Expanded Universe / Legends and the canon. There are tonnes of games, movies and other media in the franchise. I’d encourage those who haven’t played some of these games to check them out, they’re pretty fun.īefore we start talking about your mods, I'm guessing you're a huge Star Wars fan. All of these games have left me with long term memories, unique experiences, and wield some kind of spark that just makes me want to hope for a rainy day or a good excuse to dive back into them. Without turning this into a TEDx Talk (call me TEDx if you want rambling subjective opinions on games), it mainly boils down to either enjoying the gameplay, the story, or the atmosphere/world building. Id Tech 3 classics such as: Jedi Knight series, Call of Duty + United Offensive, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series.Half-Life 1 & 2, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Black Mesa.I think I’ll just throw out a fly fishing line and reel off a big list of names and see if we get any bites. I suppose I’ve always enjoyed first-person shooters the most along with role-playing games. Ha, I’m not too good at picking favourites. What are your favourite games of all time and what do you love about them? I’m still not sure if I’d ever want to work full-time in the video game industry but I suppose there’s always a possibility if I change my mind? There are always opportunities out there. Modding was always one of the big appeal factors when it came to games for me since it essentially meant that the games were never ‘done’ as long as people remained interested it’s like an endless sunset. Without the internet you kinda needed to figure things out on your own, stumbling around through game files, seeing what you could change, trying to make the villains of the game bark like a dog for your own amusement. I’ve been pretty fortunate and grew up with computers and video games from a young age. It’s been said that I have ‘a bit of a personality’, and I’ve been blessed with many friends from modding communities over the years, notably from a now-defunct forum called Facepunch. I’ve been modding the game Blade & Sorcery for a bit over a year now and have obliterated any notion of ‘free time’ I once had since starting The Outer Rim.
