Welcome to episode 217 of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! This week, Jim, Hunter, Spaz and I have an early morning (for us) show so we can talk to our guest Milos Zivkovic, Game Designer and Story Writer at Zero Gravity Games, who was calling us from Belgrade, Serbia to talk about spacey survivalley game Hellion!! In this episode, we talk not only about the game quite a bit, but science fiction in general (we’re all BIG Expanse fans y’all), the ins and outs (but mostly ins) of early access and more. While I am TERRIBLE at the game — as the video will attest — I have to respect what it’s trying to do. Full orbital mechanics with weapons, orbiting station modules and more! It’s an ambitious game, but it’s also a labor or love, which is completely clear after talking to Milos.

Up next week on the show, we’re having another early morning show to talk to the folks behind the upcoming 4X, Interstellar Space: Genesis! As always, if you have a question or comment, drop them below, email us at [email protected] or hit us up on the forums.
