We are hard at work on our game centered on Snake Eyes, the legendary ninja/commando from G.I. Joe, and we wanted to share a glimpse of the awesome work our team is doing. Here is a peek at our Snake Eyes character model rendered in-engine. #gaming #videogames #gamedev #GIJoe

This past week we had our annual team summit @atomicarcadestudio ! It was great being to host our team and friends from @wizardsofthecoast . It’s amazing to be able to get together in person and collaborate on our GI Joe Snake Eyes game.

@IttyBittyPixel Versus books were always the best. The Resident Evil guides were great, too.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@TheCartelDel One of my all-time favorites. It's a shame how underappreciated it is.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@YunalesckaGames Severely underrated, easily one of my favorites. You'll be thinking about it for years.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@eyesonbee I think about this one a lot

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@noobde I think Tetsuo would fit right in

@MikeDrucker It's hard to believe he's not intentionally trying to tank the site

@MikeDrucker I miss Tips and Tricks. I used to do the pencil puzzles in class.

I had a lot of jobs outside of the career path, but the game industry was always the endgame.

@kellyAREKAYyeo I used to go all the time until I moved to Huntington Beach. Even without that drive Santa Monica is just so busy anymore.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@horrorvisuals I think we'll get RE9 before the next remake, but I think CV is the next remake. I could even see a re-remake of 1 at some point to make it more accessible.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@moons_artwork I always use Unpacking as a recent example of a narrative you couldn't really do in another medium. I mean, you could, but it wouldn't have the same effect.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@kellyAREKAYyeo You, the one person that made one feature that I specifically don't like, should be fired.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@heyjenbartel Now I'm crying again.

[Rob Watkins @MessyPizzaBoy]

@heyjenbartel And it's just as emotionally effective, too. That last scene with the mural hit real hard.
