@SpaceTomatoGG This was and is the ONLY thing I can show for my last 3.5 years lol sadly Prince of Persia sands of time remake got canned, I did get to update the Astrolabe (but can't show). This image is me combining other people's assets and selling the dream :)

@PaulJonesAD Just went back in our history to confirm you were. Terrible memory lol Phenomenal work as always.

Ok, that's done, I'm out, last day at Ubisoft and we fly back to Manchester next week - onwards!!!!

@TallinJH Well it's been averaging about -7 all winter here, but least we've had sun and blue skies, gonna miss them!

@PaulJonesAD Looking forward to seeing you back in Manchester! We currently have some awful cold weather so hopefully by the time you're back it's warmed up a tad!

@StarCitizenDan Haha is it still not done? It's a complex ship tho, I could see why it's been stalled (I don't have any insider info, I've been under a Canadian rock here)

*coughs* finish BMM plez 👀

/ Be me / Manage to get a sci-fi indie movie made / Secure global theatrical release. Wow / Covid hits. No cinema. FML / Movie unceremoniously drops onto streaming with no marketing / Five years later: collider.com/archive-78-rot… / Never give up

@SaltEMike heh, nope, was never on the inspiration board for the F8 but cool ship, like Gav, not seen that before :)

This 100% came up in a meeting when making the F8

RT'ing this because it's very rare to see people in the gaming industry talk so openly about how a cancelled project effects them and their career. You were fantastic Eman, and I hope we get to see a performance from you in the near future!

@SpaceTomatoGG Ya, I was just about to go into full marketing dream selling mode, shame, the team worked hard.

@PaulJonesAD My god, you were working on one of the projects I was most excited for. Sands of Time was a shaping experience for the little TOMAT. Sorry to hear we won't be able to see the passion you poured into it. Games tend to be ruined by those who don't actually love them.

The reality of not working on an open development game like star citizen is, I have nothing to show for the last 3 years even though I created a massive amount of work :( Sadly, one project was an unannounced title and the other one just got canned (Prince of Persia remake)

@RobotHomestead Heh yes there is, plus I got one image out. In my heart i know what I created and i learnt some new stuff, so all good 👍

@PaulJonesAD Created a lot of work ? But not finished anything ? I’m sure there has to be achievements for the resumes

@AmaimonAkihiko Aw thanks :) some fine looking images there ☺️ 😍 🤪

I dont know about everyone else but I cant wait for the Railen next year, and Im super excited that Pre-Prod started on the Liberator. I was just rewatching the old announcment videos with @PaulJonesAD presenting (we miss you!), and I just cant wait!!

@TheBristolBoy88 I know right, 4 office locations, 17 desks, 2 cities and 3 apartments, two products, it's not what I signed up for...

@PaulJonesAD 16 too many, i do think a switch up every few years is ok. but 17 in 3 years seems excessive. Unless its also a position change?

17 desk moves in under 3 years, does anyone think that's a teeny bit unreasonable?

@AnthropicDualiT @TheRubenSaurus There's a party too?!?! No one tells me anything ;p

@TheRubenSaurus @PaulJonesAD He's late to the party lol

Um, this looks verrry familiar...#starcitizen is it legit?

@SolCitizens thank you :D, I continue to live under a rock in Montreal but one day may venture back out :D

@PaulJonesAD Hoping all is well from the SOL Citizens We miss you Paul! ❤️

Has CIG got a bar in Manchester yet? I feel a Star Bar is needed :D (no need to ship final game, just serve alcohol pls thx)

@RogueSim but it'll be a good pint though :D

@PaulJonesAD Hope not. It might take them 10 years to pull a pint lol.

@DanDexterTaylor Get on it DDT! :D

@PaulJonesAD I will get this sorted for you lad ahaha
