The last few months have been a whirlwind between GDC/Tokyo/Star Wars Celebration, so I never posted that my GDC talk on Date Night in SWTOR in now live in the Vault! Enjoy all the squee'ing over cute romance moments! (I know I did πŸ’œ) gdcvault.com/play/1035205... #gdc #swtor #romanceinganes

Meet me at the creative place where we know this idea isn't efficient and hardly anyone will notice but it sparks excitement when bringing it to life and that's why we do any of it.

Have you seen the new armors inspired by the Disney+ series #Andor coming to SWTOR? The Imperial Director Armor set will be coming to the Cartel Market with Game Update 7.7 "Dynamic Worlds"! It also comes with a "no cape" version of the chest piece!

YIKES @soundcloud.dev no thank you

Decisions, decisions... πŸ˜„ Get yourself on the PTS and take a look! #SWTOR

Game Update 7.7 "Dynamic Worlds" content is now available on the Public Test Server! www.swtor.com/info/news/%5...

We talked about SO MUCH exciting stuff from the team this update! Also I can't wait to see what y'all think of the Eras window πŸ‘€πŸ’–

Cast more trans women in your games, shows, etc. Cast them as trans women. Cast them as cis women. Cast them as the helpful cute creature. Cast them as the groaning zombie sfx. Cast them as the narrator. Cast them as anything they feel comfortable auditioning for.

Shoutout to @teamaudio.bsky.social and @chrisrickwood.bsky.social for the epic new track featured in the latest @swtor.com story teaser. Chris’ blend of the Malgus theme and Main theme truly elevated this piece! youtu.be/7Hst-cfWAGE

A day at Tokyo Disney Sea, as told by bb Malgus πŸ’œ

bb malgus is ready for Tokyo adventures!

Sorry yall Im gonna be annoying about South of Midnight for the next month. But representation matters and seeing reactions like this reminds me how important it is to make authentic games. People want to see it and your audience will find your stories. This made me tear up.

Crafting some last minute homemade swag goodies for Star Wars Celebration before heading to Tokyo!! ✨ #swtor

Literally every company now youtube.com/shorts/hL9pl...

I went to a couple of genAI talks at GDC and came away feeling very secure in my job. The amount of labor that goes into "co-creating" stories with AI simply isn't worth the effort.

Already feeling the post-GDC blues? Head to our Flickr page to view hundreds of photos from #GDC2025! www.flickr.com/photos/offic...

It's always a good day when Iron Circus graphic novels show up at my door πŸ’œ @ironspike.bsky.social
