Developed by John Mileham, programmer and musician in the band The Franklin Kite. He’s even sharing the code over on GitHub. Now that’s a rockstar.
Direct from E3. Well, by way of Laughing Squid. This “epic moment in old republic history” is the first in a series of trailers for the new game from the old Old Republic franchise. By the looks of it, this time they mean business.
