Very Excite! Much Thrill!

Welcome to this week’s podcast, my friends! This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I welcome back Scott Brown, president of Wyrmbyte, former president of Netdevil and the creator of Jumpgate, to talk about his new masterpiece, Warp Nexus. Warp Nexus strives to be something very different from Jumpgate: a quick, accessible experience wherein everyone on almost any device can not only enjoy the game, but make a difference to the universe. Using the amazing economic model of Jumpgate as a basis, what’s being built is something very impressive, even in its early stages. We discuss not only the game, but finding the right free-to-play model, economics within a game, flight modeling and much more. We also throw a ton of suggestions at him. ;) It was a really fun time!

Next week on the show, we’ll welcome back the folks from Team Jolly Roger to talk about their orbital artillery masterpiece, Worbital! As always, if you have any questions or comments, please drop them in the comments below, email us at [email protected] or hit us up on the forums.

We also talk about Arcen’s other games, new-to-us terms such as “GPU Instancing,” all kinds of tech stuff, dealing with Steam in this day and age, and much more.

I Can’t Get Enough of This Game

Welcome to this week’s podcast, my friends!!! This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I with Elissa Harris, Lead Developer and Co-Designer of Objects in Space, a game we’re all horrifically excited about. We talk to Elissa about the long road from getting a game from conception to 1.0, arduino support in games, the struggle to be an indie developer doing something no one else is doing, the struggle to find the right pricing for a game and much more. It was a really, really fun conversation overall!

Next week on the show, we’ll be welcoming back Chris Park of Arcen Games to talk about their hotly-anticipated sequel to one of their biggest games, AI War 2.

Random Google Image Search for “Structure”

Hey friends, welcome to this week’s podcast! This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I don’t have a guest, so we thought this would be the perfect time to test out a new structure we’ve been working on internally. This allows us to not only focus on a topic or a guest, but to cover some news, some games we’re playing, and have a better, more consistent intro and outro every week. Tell us what you think!

We’re off next week — as I’ll have a house guest — so in two weeks, we’re hoping to have on an awesome guest, but they’ve not confirmed yet. It’ll be fun regardless, I’m sure. ;) As always, if you have any questions or comments, please drop them in the comments below, email us at [email protected] or hit us up on the forums.

FIRE EVERYTHING!

Hello my friends, and welcome to this week’s podcast episode! This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I sit down with Alex Mosolov, the creator and developer of the amazing space sandbox that is Starsector, to talk about that game’s long and amazing journey through its pre-release period. For about a decade, this game has morphed from a straightforward top-down tactical combat game to a fully-realized sandbox with factions, missions, quests, trade and more. We talk to Alex about the game’s journey, its design, and much more in what was a lengthy, engaging and overall really fun episode.

Next week on the show, we don’t have a guest, so we decided to use it as a test bed for a new format we hope to try. As we approach six years and three hundred episodes, we’re looking at ways to make the show more engaging, useful and fun, so please join us for that.
