Interview with Proxy Studios on ZEPHON

Listen Later

Rob and Drexy sat down with most/all of Proxy Studios and asked them a bunch of questions regarding their upcoming post-apocalyptic 4X, ZEPHON, learning A LOT about the game in the process.

Quite frankly, we both left that interview more excited than ever about Proxy Studio's new project. It simply sounds like it could address some of the long-standing issues with the genre and the gameplay ideas are very promising.
