July 31, 2015 Space Game Junkie Podcast #118 – Coffee Break/Beer and Pretzels/Relaxing Space Games
Welcome to this installment of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! In this episode, Jim and I (Hunter is in the midst of unpacking) talk about games that can be played quickly, either entirely in one sitting, or wherein you can get a lot done in one sitting. We talk about various roguelikes, adventure games, small 4X games and so on, and it’s a fun discussion of what makes a short game worthwhile, short games we’d like to see, and so on. It’s a really fun show in which we cover a lot of ground, which makes sense since we missed a week. ;)
The games I played on the stream include the following in order of appearance:

* Ascii Sector
* Weird Worlds in Infinite Space
* Infinite Space III: Sea of Stars
* Approaching Infinity
* Cogmind
* Sword of the Stars: The Pit
* 10 Minute Space Strategy
* Naev
* Galcon 2
* FTL

Join us next week when we discuss our favorite spaceships from popular culture beyond video games, such as movies, TV shows and more. As always, if you have a suggestion for a topic or guest, hit us up at [email protected]. Thanks for listening/watching, and enjoy the show!

Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! In this episode, we bring back friend-of-the-show Chris Stockman of Bit Planet Games to talk about their recently revamped, re-engineered and redone space combat game, The Battle of Sol. We not only talk about the game, but Star Citizen, game development, the possibilities of modding the game and much more. It makes for a very lengthy yet vibrant podcast in which we discuss a LOT of topics including the game, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did, for it was a FUN episode to record.
As always, we thank you for listening, and invite you to tune in next week when we lament the death of the manual and the strategy guide, as well as talk about some of the best examples the genre has to offer. See you then!

Welcome to the Space Game Junkie Podcast! In this episode, Jim, Hunter and I talk to Drew Morrow, designer/artist at Three Phase Interactive about their current build-it-and-lose-it space combat and adventure game, Defect. In the episode, we not only talk about the game, but movies, the differences between Australian and American culture, and much more. It’s a very fun episode focusing on a VERY fun game. Seriously, this game is a BLAST folks, definitely worth checking out. I mean, I can’t STAND ship building stuff because I am TERRIBLE at it, but here it clicks, and it works really well, so check out the game and watch it below on the vidcast as well!
Next week we’ll be bringing back Chris Stockman to talk about his recently early-access-released space game, Battle for SOL! Thanks for listening/watching folks, and we’ll see you next week!

June 26, 2015 SGJ Podcast #114 – Close Order – Fleet-Based Chaos and Hilarity
Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! This week, Jim, Hunter and I sit down with the founder of Raconteur Games, Nicholas Laborde, to talk about their upcoming fleet-based space shooter, Close Order. What resulted was a very entertaining discussion on indie development, space games, Mark Hamill movies and much more, and Nicholas was certainly an exuberant guest in his own right. ;) The game itself is also a ton of fun, and has a great amount of potential to be an amazing space shooter.
Overall it was a very fun show, and we hope you enjoy it. :) Tune in next week when we have the folks behind the currently kickstarting game Defect to talk about the player’s seemingly losing battle to keep their ship! Thanks for listening/watching!
