You'll be able to quickly toggle between the original & remastered graphics in Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster when the game releases on all platforms November 20th! 🤠

In our latest Deep Dive interview, we sit down with original Outlaws level designer Kevin Schmitt to learn more about his work on Outlaws, working at LucasArts in the 90s, approach to level design, advice to new developers, and more! 🤠 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nXI...

"My father didn't live long enough to find out what he could've been..." Who is James Anderson? Find out by playing Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster when it releases on PC and consoles later this year! 🤠

Finished up the 1980 Kenner Snowspeeder. Next up is a TIE Something… need to find panels.

Some 30 years ago, I bought “grown-up” clothes for my 2-day interview at Lucasarts. The shirts & pants are long gone, but I have worn this belt since. Finally wore out on me.

Spliced in a new bulb for my 1980 #Kenner Snowspeeder. Still kind of amazed 45 year old electronics still work in these things.

With nothing left to lose, James Anderson sets off on epic journey through the Wild West to save his daughter and avenge his wife's murder in Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster - available on all platforms later this year! 🤠🐎

So many late nights battling the #Lucasrts QA team during development. My memory says we held our own, but I'm probably way off. I do remember living in fear of a few testers who had mastered the knife...the swing sound haunted me in my dreams.

1984 #Kenner #StarWars B-Wing disassembled, cleaned, electronics working, repro decals (since the old ones faded like Thanos dust when I touched them) & complete w/ my original pilot. Next up, this 1980 Snowspeeder.

Who's excited to play Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster later this year? 👀

Thank you to @pcgamer.com for highlighting our mission to bring back lost gaming treasures and our upcoming release, Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster! "The reason why Outlaws is such a good game is because it's a great story," Kuperman says. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ou...

Retrofitting/restoring an old Kenner B-Wing. Gotta love that simple grinding plastic noise.

Watch Andor S2 again. "Make It Stop"...so good. Now I really want to watch a show & play (or make) games centered around Kleya, Vel & their band of commandos.

This just happened. Bounced off my finger & I’m icing it down with my Jack & Coke glass.

Exciting & surreal to see the 1st game I worked on to get a Remaster. Nice way to celebrate my (almost) 30 years in the biz. Do you think they kept all our Easter Eggs?

@masonthompson.bsky.social next 4th, we should invite some food trucks & park them right here.

Are those the 80’s Star Wars Kenner Radar Laser Cannon & MLC-3 mini rigs for $7?! Even the n that condition, it’s a steal!

In many ways, I owe my career to Blade Runner. Back in '95, working on a design test for Lucasarts. Was at a creative block. Interview on Monday. Watched it at a local theater the weekend before, spent the rest of the time creating a story, game, & levels based on BR. Got the job from that.

Happy Father’s Day!

Amazing to see all the #NoKings protests today all over my various socials. Probably means network news is just airing the fascist parade.

#NoKings #BothellWA Pretty big turnout for our small town. And a wide variety of ages.

Listen to Cap. No Kings!

Mrs Beast.

Happy Anniversary to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Remember kids, Nazis suck.

Oh man, didn't know my favorite heavy metal cat band was touring!?

I know Andor is all the rage right now, but don’t sleep on Paradise (Hulu). Acting is great & the story goes where you don’t expect pretty quickly. youtu.be/tCObCpYScdE?...

#Andor is hitting many notes. Been wanting to see the birth of the Rebellion since forever & even more so after a small group of us at #Lucasarts were read in to Ep1 from LFL in '98 & we speculated that it was going there. Talked about gamifying it w/ WWII French resistance as the inspiration.

Been in the game industry a long time & can say that most BTS dev stories you see/read are bunk, fabricated from hearsay or carefully chosen bits given by a select few. Even anonymous sources from damning exposes dont know the whole truth. We need to recognize growth through failure and do better.

Finally some free time to spin a RSD find. House of Love B-Sides & Rarities.

Can't imagine why the algorithms are showing this in my timeline...

Happy 28th Birthday to my 1st game #Lucasarts #Outlaws I will forever be grateful that I got to be part of an amazing company at an amazing time, working with exceptionally talented people. And I think we made video game history with one of the 1st sniper rifles! "Where are ya' Mashall?"

I think our local Hands Off rally is bigger than our annual 4th of July parade.

Gvmnt agencies reporting DOGE access like Gandalf reading the Book of Mazarbul. "We barred the gates but doubt it can hold them long. If there is no escape it will be a horrible fate to suffer, but I shall hold. They have taken the bridge and second hall. We cannot get out. They are coming..."

Really nails the point that we should all play more board games. Kids who play Wealth of Nations or Civilization have a better understanding of trade that this administration.

"On your left..."

Found some old #ILM #Lucasfilm Halloween Party invites. There were costume contests, but it was hard to compete with a pro FX house. Although one year, a #Lucasarts alum won for his incredible Iron Giant costume. It wasnt a costume per se, but a full-on robot model that he stood inside on stilts.

DREAMM 4.0 will be heading to beta pretty soon, which means I've finalized the list of supported games. 15 new titles this time around, including all the Lucas Learning titles and the glut of Star Wars titles released around the launch of the prequels.

Remind me again what the sales tax on something like this is? Oh...right....

Part of the magic of Adolescence's one-shot technique for me is forcing those long periods of silence showing real human interaction. From joy to awkwardness to pain to... Barantini's direction crates more introspection, thought, etc in those moments. So well done.

In another example of Elon not understanding a single piece of media he ingests, he is the initial apocalyptic narrative we the hero, the player, are choosing to fight against.

Work trip to NC, stopped in to Nick’s Trains to get some parts & now my 1978 Kenner “Battle Damaged” TIE Fighter is back up & running. www.nicks-trains.com

It’s painfully obvious now who watched The West Wing & who didn’t.

Back at the home office for an onsite design meeting.

Small haul from #ECCC this year. Artist of the print (Rich Wojcicki) said he wants to do a whole series. He showed me his WIP Indy ToD poster & it looks really good so far.

The moment everybody who doesnt support this administration realizes we are against a party who has abandoned ethics, morals, truth, et all for the sake of power & unifies with the same ferocity is the moment we start to move forward. We have to stop eating our own. We are our own worst enemies.

Given the fact he talks about Social Security like he did the election (lie after lie), probably a good idea to print out a few statements ASAP before Republicans try to steal it away. You can do that here, or set up an account if you haven't already. www.ssa.gov

Broke the electronics when I reassembled. Turns out almost 50yo corroded connections & wiring break easy…but it’s clean & decals are secured. I’ll repair it soon, but for now, I’m happy how it turned out. Worth the extra effort to save @$80.

Repaired the electronics in my TIE Fighter.

So begins the restoration of my recently acquired 1978 Kenner TIE. Wiping down everything I can break apart. Soaking to scrape the battery corrosion. Double sided tape for the loose decals.

Wife went to a craft convention so I decided to explore the town. Scored some cheap vinyl oldies & this 1978 Kenner “Battle Damaged” TIE Fighter for half of what it usually goes for online!
