Weird q. I always see video clips of this scene where Patrick and Mike are playing War or Goldfish or something and I've never seen it. Can someone direct me to the video?

Blayne Cuzner @blaynecuzner @biomarkdarrah I've been replaying dragon age origins again, and well my soul needs a port of it for the switch, maybe once DA4 is done?

World-building is an incredibly involved business, as you're not just serving the interests of the narrative but also that of the gameplay. More than that, you're creating an Intellectual Property, one that could potentially span multiple games and even products that aren't games, and there are many questions that will need to be answered beyond the simple details of the setting like history and culture. This lecture will walk you through the creation of the world in BioWare's Dragon Age, the successes and problems it encountered as well as how it evolved from one title to the next - and how the lessons learned could be useful for other developers building their own game worlds, whether they be for triple-A RPG titles or not.
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes Took week off Twitter for health and reflection. Coming back, seeing cosplay and fan art, is great reminder why I write, at work and home.
I can’t cure cancer, stop hurricanes, or fix politics... but as a novelist or part of a game team, I can make someone laugh for a night.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw And give them light in the dark, dude. Every fucking day.
No plans for switch or no plans for DA4? Damn those vague replies anyway.
If anything resembling MEA, the puny Switch doesnt have horsepower to run unfortunately. (Also I self dont see the point, but thats just me... cant imagine immersing to something so small on the go and there are better consoles/PC's at home with big screens.)
[ LegendCNCD / AsariLoverFI ] Waiting for DA4 & ME5 - Look's like sometime in 2186, everything went to hell. We got out just ahead of it! MEA & ME1 (>>>> 3 > 2) -- DAI > DAO > DA2 -- 3500h+ & maxed out all 02/2020 in MEAMP, APEX 137001+, DAIMP (576/761/201), ANTHEM, SW BF II - Drinking tears of MP lamers since DooM & Quake in 90's softknees.bandcamp.com/
John Epler @eplerjc The best six months of my career thus far. Miss you, Mike.
Well that sounds encouraging. Epler and Mike (and Weekes) seem to genuinely like one another and John doesn't strike me as a guy who'd dance on someone's grave of a career, so the fact that he just experienced best six month of being a DA narrative presentation lead may mean that, despite the high-profile departure, people on the team remain in high spirits.

The entire reply thread to PW's tweet is well worth reading. Huge outpouring of support and appreciation from fans, including stories of how DA helped with cancer recovery and the like.

One day, the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide. When he rises, everyone will see. -Sandal Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a world to save. Again. -Inquisitor
They started peer review already, right? PW said in an interview once peer reviews started when they had rough scenes put together already. I feel like this is good.
I mean the game is somewhat playable is what he said, so a section of the game is roughly playable. I forget what interview. Probably the how go write good games with VGS
I'm not on Twitter, so can someone please ask if they're ever planning on opening up promo item DLC, or even just the dragon decor? They did this after a time with both DAO and DA2, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. (I don't imagine many people are playing DAI MP much these days.)
And for the record, I'm not asking for myself, as I wouldn't even bother using that decor; it's not my taste. I'm also not seeking to get into any discussion over the merits of doing so and depriving the MP players of their shiny unique thing.
Mountains. Cold. "Let's bring Dorian!" It's good to be Champion!

Dragon decor was, imo, one of the few really good decoration options in DAI. A pity put it behind a MP wall (after promising not to require any MP content to access SP stuff)
It should have been a SP reward for killing dragons or something.
