Dwight Sullivan

"the worst part about that entire game is how Dwight butchers the narrative and the storyline. Like you're stacking modes and moments from the different movies on top of each other to get to pinball multipliers, it's almost like he thought that we wanted multiplied points more than we want to feel the magic of the Star Wars movies"

Dwight Sullivan butchered Star Wars narrative and storyline

"I just don't really understand if Dwight really knows how to communicate a storyline. I'm not really sure what's going on inside his head. I think he's a really smart engineer. I think he's a really smart coder, but I think Dwight needs to be paired up with someone who has a little bit more basic common sense storytelling abilities."

Dwight Sullivan lacks storytelling abilities and needs better communication partner

"I feel like Dwight, Dwight would make how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich confusing, confusing. You know what I'm saying? Like he just has this way when he's talking. It's like, oh, you get really nervous"

Dwight makes even simple things sound confusing when explaining rules

"30 seconds in to Dwight explaining a pinball rule set just makes me fall asleep. I don't think Stern should ever let him explain the rule set of a game... He is not a good hype man for pinball. That four minute video is not going to attract new buyers."

Dwight Sullivan should not explain ruleset in marketing videos because he's boring

"he is the right man for the job, you know why because he grew up being a big fan of Venom, now look I love it when people who are passionate about a theme get to work on the project, do you think Eric Meunier is super passionate about Godfather, you can't fake passion"

Dwight Sullivan is the right coder for Venom because of his passion for the theme

"He's probably the most polarizing coder over at Stern Pinball. Some people just won't buy the game if Dwight's coding it. He's got some people that just stay away from his stuff."

"if you asked everybody out there, who's the one coder out there that you don't want to make the Mandalorian, all of you would have said Dwight. Okay, most of you would have said Dwight. And here we find out today that it's Dwight."

"Dwight, you had your chance with the Star Wars. It was a swing and a miss. If coded by someone other than Dwight could end up being the greatest Star Wars pinball machine of all time."

Dwight Sullivan failed with Star Wars and shouldn't code Mandalorian

"I can't remember the last Dwight game in which people said you knocked it out of the park with the code. Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Monsters. Which one of those games gets held up as being a great coded game. None of them."

Dwight Sullivan's recent coding work has been disappointing

"I understand people's pain around Dwight being the coder of the game. He hasn't really had a lot of love over the last few titles"

Dwight Sullivan coding Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles concerns fans due to his track record

"we all know that Dwight is not the king of like continuing to work on code. It was like 29 months later and there's still no ghostbusters updates. So keep holding your breath for the monsters code and you'll surely die a death as you wait for that."

Dwight Sullivan doesn't continue working on code updates like other designers

"What is Dwight's issue with finishing code? And does he have an attitude of when I consider it done, it's done. And even if there is stuff missing from a game, or even if there are bugs, I don't care. I've moved on."

Dwight Sullivan has issues finishing code and shows lack of care for bugs

"You know who wasn't passionate about the monsters? Who didn't grow up loving the show? Who didn't know the show that well was Dwight Sullivan. And so the guy coding the machine doesn't share the passion in the guy who's designing the machine."

Monsters code suffers because Dwight Sullivan wasn't passionate about the theme

"So Dwight's track record of completing games, it's not great. I think he's different than Lyman Sheats... Whereas Dwight, I think, has the approach of, I'd go to this game and I'm done with it. This is this game's finished. I'm on to the next. I don't think he has that desire to bring the game to total magical level of fruition."

Dwight Sullivan has poor track record of finishing game code properly

"Dwight, I think I speak for the whole community when I say Ninja Turtles is in your hands. Please don't fuck it up. Please don't fuck it up."
