Space Game General All-Platform Thready Discussy Thing :)

I actually just read that article. I’m pretty pumped about that game–not that I’ll necessarily get it–but I like that someone’s doing it. It has a chance of being really awesome.

I must have missed the planned expansions being boarding/FPS? That’s a bit too bad, seems like everyone’s doing that. I guess he’s got the idea where if stuff really goes wrong you get out of the chair and start fixing things yourself so it’s not much further from that to boarding.

Brian Rubin:

Beyond Sol - It’s gone through a ton of changes since I last played so o should revisit it and let you know, but the early version I played on the podcast was lots of fun.

Any new thoughts?

BrianRubin · 2015-08-21T08:15:14.000Z

Sadly no, just haven’t yet had the time to revisit it, but it’s on my list! Damn full time job and such. ;) (Not really oh god I like my job.) ;)

Go get Endless Sky. Its free!

I’ve only been trading and exploring. Its a riff on Escape Velocity.
From what I’ve seen, its really well done.

I just both saw that for the first time today aaaaaaaaand just got an email from the dev, how funny. Can’t wait to try it, and hopefully I can get him on the podcast too.

Contest: Win One of Five Copies of Gran Vitreous! (Closed) | Space Game Junkie

So friends, one of my favorite shmups of recent years is Gran Vitreous, which has procedurally generated DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING! Weapons, maps, whole sectors, other types of loot, you name it! Well, the developer was nice enough to send me some Steam...

So thanks to the addition of a Wii in the household, I finally snagged the second and third Rogue Squadron games that EVERYONE has been telling me I need to play. I loaded up RSII: Rogue Leader tonight and god damn if that isn’t some damned good shit. Like, deeper than I’d expect for a console game, immersive and very pretty as well. Can’t wait to play more!

Twice in one day can’t be good though (see also Pacific Rim)

Nah, I’ve seen him exploding a lot more in one day. He’ll be fine.

BrianRubin · 2015-09-16T12:04:15.000Z

Nah guys, I’ll be exploding later after I have these chicken soft tacos from Del Taco.

Ok, I can’t see anyone taking a lot of explosions of that kind.
