Overwatch creator tries showing off his new Rust-like open-world game but finds fellow dev stuck in a T-pose instead: "Don't show that on stream!"

A Legend of California player is stuck in a relaxed T-pose.

Overwatch creator Jeff Kaplan and ex-Blizzard engineer Tim Ford, both co-founders of new studio Kintsugiyama, keep flaunting their upcoming open-world cowboy game The Legend of California in beefy 10-hour streams, and if you watched the most recent one and saw a Kintsugiyama dev trapped in a T-pose, no you didn't.

"What's going on with Blanchie in the T-pose?!" Kaplan exclaims around the three hour, 57 minute mark in their March 21 stream about a dev's character Blanche – an homage to the Golden Girls in Kintsugiyama's Rust-like FPS set in mythological California. Blanche clearly couldn't handle being so far removed from her original universe, and the T-pose hemorrhaging began. You can watch the entire ordeal below.

"The irony when the animators get a T-pose," Ford says, amused. Kaplan adds, "The whole team right now is like, 'Don't show that on stream! Get it off! Get it off – look at the floor! Show them the lighting"

Ford points out "the beautiful moon" glowing somberly over Blanche's frozen T-pose as another developer announces, "16 Jira [bug tracking software] tickets."

"What's going to crash faster, Jira or the server?" Kaplan says. "We don't know at this point." It really is the Wild West.

The Legend of California's alpha period begins on Steam March 26, and it'll run through March 30 at 10am PT / 1pm ET.

Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan says Breath of the Wild is "the greatest game ever made" – "How can Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time exist and somebody make an even better Zelda game?"
