One of the cool projects I've been quietly working on! No IP here. Just a wildly fun original idea that came out of my unstable mind! Grateful for this team and for anyone who continues to take shots on original ideas.

Beyond pumped for this and super grateful to be part of a team of actual gamers/developers who deeply love System Shock as much as I do. SHODAN is coming. See you soon, insects⦠#bygamersforgamers

What I can tell you is it followed RE7 into RE8. Basically Ethan, Mia, Zoe, Eveline, etc. But there was uncertainty at the time as to how RE7 was going to perform. This was early 2017. In hindsight, it performed really well. Idk. Would have been fun. š¤·āāļø

āSquid Gameā creator Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote the show in 2009 but was rejected by studios for 10 years. He once had to stop writing the script + sell his $675 laptop due to money struggles. Today, itās #1 in 90 countries + set to become the most-watched show in Netflix history.

Greg Russo: āThe story idea really is everything. Itās the beginning of everything we do, everything follows that idea. To me, I think thatās the hardest part of screenwriting. Finding the idea.ā #screenwriting

Iāve heard only 40% of wannabe screenwriters finish their first script so getting to the Fade Out puts you 60% ahead of the pack when it comes to other try-hard writers. Get to the end no matter what. Fix that shit on the flip side #screenwriting

I love how it is in the movie, but here's a fun alt line of when Kano discovers his eye that didn't make the cut ;) #MKWatchParty @MKMovie

The fireball running joke was probably one of the first jokes put into the script. After five years, it never got cut. We all loved it too much ;) #MKWatchParty

There's actually a few sneaky references I buried in there. "Next time, be more punctual" was an easter egg to Goddard's "I love punctuality in a woman." I think someone caught that one. #MKWatchParty
#mkwatchparty Kano wins. @WriterRusso. I have to say the dialogue for Kano brought back memories of the late Trevor Goddard from the 1995 film.

I wanted to find a way to throw some love to the kreators, so I thought that was a fun way. As a side note, it's 806 West Washington Blvd. because I thought that was the NetherRealm address in Chicago, but I think I might have gotten it wrong, lol 𤣠#MKWatchParty
Did y'all hear Jax mention Eddie Tobias? Who kould he be talking about š#MKWatchParty
