@RalphEmmers I was not the model for that card or any other image of Dash Rendar. I "rendered" Dash Rendar from photos of a model we hired named Zeb (a great Star Wars name, BTW) https://t.co/tn6PMB6J0A

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

And the only sketch I did for the Shadows of the Empire box art, which I otherwise made entirely in Photoshop. But I needed to figure out what Dash Rendar's face looked like.

The Super Nintendo Star Wars trilogy was great fun to make. We had a great team at #LucasArts and at #SculpturedSoftware.

This review also includes an excerpt from an episode of the TV program "La nuit cyber" broadcast on the French Canal + in 1993 where Jon Knoles ( @jonk1969 ) appears explaining how they adapted the movements of Vader - https://t.co/AmiC7Kvjyv

@Lord_Arse I see my first game development job back in 1989.

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

@BMac_Attack_64 @retrogaminglive Try again, I updated settings

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

@BMac_Attack_64 @retrogaminglive Odd. This site has gone to shit, for sure. It's why I'm rarely checking it. I'm not verified, why should you be to send me a dm?

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

@Noonz Now that's the movie where Connery should have said "some things in here don't react well to bullets"

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

@XwingGameSeries @NightdiveStudio Today, I'd be accused of "copy-paste recycled content." But clever reuse of content was part of how we made so many games in such a short span of time back then.

I've generally been avoiding this site but wanted to express my sadness about the death of #CarlWeathers. Legend.

@DavidWCollins I provided the shrieks of the Bando Gora, doing my best impersonation of Roger Waters in some early Pink Floyd tunes. Of course now there's even a YT video of that: https://t.co/5FTt1Cht4l

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

@BardenBuilds Nice! I like yours a lot too! I've also changed mine to a nova cockpit (and most of my habs are nova, too).

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

Updated #StarWars Outrider replica in Starfield, this one more proportionally correct to my original blueprints and 3D model based on Doug Chiang's awesome design. Great fun to fly through asteroids in combat!

[Jon Knoles @jonk1969]

This is too awesome for words. Blind gamer slaying the track in #ForzaMotorsport :
