minus-squareAgent_Karyo@piefed.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 month agoI wonder how much input Carpenter had into this game (beyond providing his name). That being said I don’t doubt that the motifs of the games are inspired by Carpenter’s movies, I am just wondering about his level of involvement. How did they even get Carpenter to partake in this? Sabre Interactive is a recognizable name, but it’s no EA.
