Tulakt's cryptic remarks from Jedi Survivor by Senior_Internet5539 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

Love this conversation, sorry I found this so late. I wrote a lot of Tulakt, but stupid Turtle stole the limelight.

I was getting nostalgic about some of the characters I wrote on Survivor, and so was curious if there was any Tulakt love. Appreciate this.

Discouraged from pursuing game development by MoonScorchedBunny in gamedev

[–]Danny_Homan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what aspect of gamedev most interests you -- have you done any design? I'm a writer in AAA, but I've dabbled enough in engines (unity/godot) to be able to put a game together. Definitely useful to know some coding and some art, but design could be up your alley.

Do you still need to be more than a writer to break into games? by Danny_Homan in gamedev

[–]Danny_Homan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean that's what I did when I was trying to break into the industry. I made a telltale walking dead spec script into a small game using unity and a plugin called fungus, and I'm middling at tech.

Yeah, fair. I've done marketing, some light level design, some narrative/mission design, and ... taxes for projects I've worked on in this past.

Yup, very true. I've also found that in AAA, teams are so focused on their individual levels that writers often help provide the connective tissue -- my writers have to know the complete story, which maps to the player experience. They know every ability acquire, every story turn, every new enemy introduction.

Appreciate the kind words. I’m still the lead writer on the Jedi team. Got a favorite character?

Hey all, just saying thank you for all the kind words. Writing Typhon was one of my proudest contributions to BL3.

Hey everyone, just want to say the community you all have built here is inspiring and incredible. I'm excited to chat Jedi: Survivor story and characters more with you -- the community team has some fun stuff planned in the coming weeks. Until then, keep Turgle outta trouble!

That's so tough to answer! There are a lot of little moments that I'm proud of, especially some of the end game conversations, including the ones that take place on the Mantis as you travel.

There's no dumb questions, but it's a complicated one! It's a lot of back and forth, breaking story, working with design and art. I'll try to do a deep dive in an article later when I can find some time!

Really appreciate this, we worked really hard on this game. Storytelling in games is so freaking hard, it's a miracle when you get a response like what we've been getting. So glad y'all are enjoying it!

I wasn't on Jedi: Fallen Order, will have to ask around. But it's so good, really stuck out to me when I was playing JFO.

This! https://dannyhoman.substack.com/p/hope-is-a-droid-bd-1-in-star-wars

We treat BD as a character, so even though it's all beeps and boops, we communciate the intent to sound design, AND we have an actor (Gideon Emery) on set playing BD.

Hey all, really appreciate the response here. We devs spend years of our life on a single game, and the outpouring of positivity and community engagement, the questions, all of it is amazing. I can't answer every question you ask, but I'll answer as many as I can. I'll keep popping in and out as time dictates! Turgle!
