Notable quotes
“It took 10 years, but he finally managed. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. 10 years in a pandemic to slow everything down.”
“When I told that to the company, they were like, oh, then we have to get you in contact with Slash because we're going to do a game for Guns Guns N' Roses.”
“This is probably also why Jack put the game backstage back then.”
“That was almost the closest and the clearest and the easiest licensor I've ever worked with.”
“We had many sessions and brainstorm sessions and live sessions where we sketched out ideas... I started composing, putting them into place and composing and adding the colors.”
“I would project all these sketches on the play field and Photoshop so he could also get an idea of how this was going to look.”
“Well, can we also try rendering of ourselves? And that's why this back glass ended up like that.”
“I'm going to be surprised that they actually let us do this, mixing up the original logo like this, but they loved it, they approved it.”
