Expeditions: Samurai Dev Vlog #1 - Behind the Art rpgcodex.net/forums/threads…

@shikamaru317 I happily play games with outdated graphics all the time. The art style itself repulses me, even more than the first game which I also found a bit unpleasant.

@RPGCodex @ChrisAvellone @aquiloniandream @Mr_Rebs_ The art I saw seemed fine, it was the graphics that were out of date, that would be on the lead graphics programmer, Matt Campbell, as well as whoever the Lead Technical Artist was. Daniel Alpert would have been in charge of the character artists and environment artists.

Obsidian Enterainment was hit by the XBOX reset layoffs. This includes their art director who worked there for 21 years. #Xbox

@ChrisAvellone @aquiloniandream @Mr_Rebs_ He may be a good guy, but The Outer Worlds 2 is one of the most visually unappealing 80 GB games I've ever seen. Someone who shouldn't have been an art director if that was in fact his responsibility.

@aquiloniandream @Mr_Rebs_ No, that was Hansen, who is now gone. Daniel (who's a very good guy, was great during the Fallout DLCs) didn't post anything like that I'm aware of.

@ChrisAvellone @TuYuanlLUh The Outer Worlds was successful, but when they gave the sequel a lot more time and money, they got back a dud. Avowed was underwhelming, but it has potential. Figuring out where TOW 2 went so wrong despite all its advantages, that's a mess.

@TuYuanlLUh @MalikLabz @Obsidian @CompulsionGames There most certainly is an Avowed 2 in production, with even more Avowed than the first I was a little surprised Avowed got a sequel and Outer Worlds didn't, but I've given up trying to make sense out of the whole thing.

Apparently, MS studios who had been told in the past that layoffs wouldn’t affect them are getting a different message now after the recent announcements – formerly “safe” studios now are telling employees they aren't sure how the management changes will impact the studio. Lot of uncertainty, even with studios who have had steady releases under MS. Not sure if/when layoffs are coming, but if you think you might be affected, let me know here or on DMs and I’ll signal blast any resumes or job offers I can. <3
