I got a chance to sit down with some of the developers of Jedi Outcast for a 2 hours long video interview! They are very passionate about that game and their time making it. Check it out when you have a chance!


It's been 20 years since the video game Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast launched in 2002, if you can believe that. This masterpiece of a game truly defined what it means to be Jedi in a video game, even to this day, with its intricate lightsaber combat and Force powers. Continuing the Dark Forces story, Outcast follows the mercenary turned Jedi, Kyle Katarn, after he shuts himself off from the Force and returns to being an agent of the New Republic.With such a milestone anniversary, I really wanted to do something special, and unfortunately I did not get this published in time for the actual day, yesterday. I'm hoping I will be forgiven for being late with how great this project turned out.I got a chance to sit down with 5 of the developers of Jedi Outcast over a Zoom call and not only did they take time to talk with me about this wonderful game, but they talked to me for nearly 3 hours. I cut it down to just 2 hours. It's clear from the very beginning that they were truly passionate about this game and consider it their proudest achievement. Take a look at the video below and listen as they reminisce and chat about development and that era of their careers!Jedi Outcast Developer Retrospective Video InterviewNews post on JKHub.org via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/oys4OVN
