Remember that remake of Master of Orion 1 made in Java? The free one? It's been a while since we've heard anything from Ray Fowler, the solo developer of that project, so Rob pinned him down for an update. Rob finally managed to wrench some good news out of him and learned a lot about the project in the process. You can download the Alpha here: https://rayfowler.itch.io/remnants-of-the-precursors
