Solid contender for shot of the year

Travis Knight says the final battle in ‘WILDWOOD’ is the most difficult sequence ever made at LAIKA. “It required us to use every single technique… It's a combination of hand drawn animation, stop-motion animation, CG animation & it’s something to behold.”

Little late on today's newsletter, but I marked the untimely closure of Bioware with a trip back through moments in my life that will forever be associated with their games—14 flashes of memory, from Baldur's Gate to Mass Effect: Universe. A damn good ride. The best, even.

I hate to start flogging this again but that fuckass nursing home blew a massive hole in what little savings they hadn’t already taken. Any help you can give would be a huge help. Thank you and I am sorry. gofund.me/24368bad7

Recently had to replay Shadows of the Empire for a *thing* (finally beat for the first time!) and took a bunch of screenshots. Wanted to share some fun ones. #StarWars

Throwing it out there now for any who might see and might be able to help make it happen…we NEED more #MassEffect stories in general. Great time to bring back more novels. Let’s get it done. Would love to be a part of that.

Hot take: I’d much rather have Mass Effect than Battlefront 3, especially under the current circumstances with Kushner and his ilk owning EA

Empire Magazine@empiremagazine.bsky.social

Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is in active development from EA DICE and Respawn. News of the shooter franchise's latest entry comes amid today's announcement of company-wide layoffs at EA and the closure of legendary studio Bioware. Read more: www.empireonline.com/movies...

I know, I know it’s still spooky season, but there was a Hallmark store down the road that had the Maul in stock and didn’t want to risk missing out. Plus I’m a sucker for tiny stuff! #StarWars

Said it before, but cozy Stardew Valley game where you play as a foundling on Mandalore working to rebuild (following on from Mando season 3) the planet’s flora/fauna, would be incredible. Another RTS is well past due. Also, give us a Scott Pilgrim/TMNT style side-scroller set during High Republic

As for BF3, I want them to get weird and branch out. Give us wars in other time periods. Thrawn versus New Republic and First Order/Resistance sure, but why does it have to be limited to the films? Let’s do Old Republic era shooter, or even THR. bsky.app/profile/fant...
