April 29, 2016 SGJ Podcast #153 – Close Order
Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my bestest of best friends! :) This week, Jim, Hunter and I welcome back former guest, friend of the show and all around awesome guy Nicholas Laborde, Founder and Chief Storyteller of Raconteur Games to discuss his fleet-based shooter, Close Order! This is the first show I’m not only using push-to-talk for the first time (after much cajoling, to be sure), but I’m also using pre-recorded footage I made for the game, rather than playing it live. I’m hoping this will make me a better co-host. :) As for the show itself, we talked about a lot of stuff, like the history of the game, the problems its faced, the philosophy behind its design and much more. It ended up being a really fun show that we hope you enjoy listening to as much as we enjoyed recording it.
Next week on the show — which will be back to its usual Tuesday night slot — we welcome back the developer of the currently Kickstarting space RPG combat game thing, Stellar Tactics! As always, if you have any questions or comments, you can hit us up below, email us at [email protected] or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening, and again, we hope you enjoy the show!

April 20, 2016 SGJ Podcast #152 – Vendetta Online
Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie podcast, my friends! This week, Jim, Hunter and I sit down with John Bergman, Founder and CEO of Guild Software, and one of the co-creators of the long-running space MMO, Vendetta Online! This game has been around since 2002 (it hit retail in 2004), and is one of the longest running space MMO games around. We talk to John about the game’s longevity, the underlying systems, how many changes that have been made to the game, making a game for multiple platforms, the game’s community and much more. It ended up being one of our longest podcasts because John is just such a font of fascinating information. We’ve really fallen for this game recently, so we were super excited to talk to John about the game, and we hope you enjoy the show as much as we did.
Next week on the show, due to the needs of our guest, we’ll be switching our Tuesday and Thursday shows so that the podcast will be on Thursday. We’ll be welcoming back the developer of the fleet-based space shooter Close Order! As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you can leave them below, email us at [email protected] or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening/watching, my friends, and again, we hope you enjoy the show!

April 18, 2016 SGJ Podcast #151 – Starpoint Gemini Warlords
Welcome, my friends, to this week’s late-ish episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! This week, Jim, Hunter and I sit down with Little Green Men Community Manager Zeno Zokalj to discuss their latest game in the Starpoint Gemini series, Starpoint Gemini Warlords! Unfortunately due to a scheduling snafu, our guest was 17-ish minutes late, so we had to fill that time with our own inane ramblings, but once Zeno showed up, it was off to the races, and we had a GREAT time. The game is a lot of fun, and we talked about their attitude towards early access and the community, how much larger their team has grown and much more. It was a REALLY fun discussion about what appears to me, so far, a really fun game. I’ve got three hours in so far and I’m having a really fun time.
This week on the podcast, returning to its usual slot of Tuesday night at 5:30 PM Pacific time, we’ll be talking to the lead developer and co-creator of the long-time spacey MMO that we’ve recently fallen in love with, Vendetta Online! As always, if you have a question/suggestion/comment, you can leave it below, directly email us at [email protected] or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening/watching, and we hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to this latest episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my friends! This week, Jim, Hunter and I sit down with Christopher Sheldon-Dante and Andrew Richardson of Mob Made Games, to talk about their grand generational space grand strategy game, Descendants: Voidborne. It’s been about a year since we had them on back in episode 102, and quite a lot has been added to the game since then. Missions, a new UI, trade, hiring of new operatives and much more, and more is still yet to come. In the show we talk about how far the game has come since the last time we talked, the joys and hassles of indie game development and design, what goes into a successful Kickstater and much more.
Next week we welcome back our buddy Chris Stockman for his third appearance on the show, to talk about his new fleet management game, The Fleets of Sol, which we briefly touched upon the last time he was here. Also, the next episode is our 150th, so we’re celebrating by adding an actual structure/format! It’s something we’ve been wanting to try for a while now, and will be a work in progress, so we can’t wait to give it a whirl. As always, we hope you enjoy the show, and if you have any questions or comments, email us at [email protected] or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening/watching!

PS. I did the audio recording and editing for this one myself folks, so if you have any issues with the audio, please let me know. Thanks!
