SGJ Podcast #10: Infinite Spaces and Small Worlds




Space Game Junkie Podcast show

Summary: No, seriously. ;) This week <a href="http://www.badmoviepodcast.com/">Jim</a> and I sit down with Iikka Keranen and Rich Carlson of <a href="http://www.digital-eel.com/">Digital Eel</a> games (who first met while working on Daikatana, no lie), the folks who created the Infinite Space series of <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/starflight_1_2/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Starflight</a>-like roguelikes <a href="http://www.infinitespacegames.com/sais/">Strange Adventures in Infinite Space</a> and <a href="http://www.infinitespacegames.com/weirdworlds/">Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space</a>.  They have a Kickstater underway for their third game in the series, <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digital-eel/infinite-space-3-sea-of-stars">Infinite Space 3: Sea of Stars</a>, so we thought we’d bring ’em on and grill them with deep, probing questions about the game. Ultimately, we went all over the place, but we had a fun time, and we hope you will too.<br> As always, we invite you to leave your comments below and in the forums, and you can find the show notes below. Thanks as always for listening, and have an awesome day!<br> <br> Podcast #10 Show Notes<br> Kickstarters Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digital-eel/infinite-space-3-sea-of-stars">Infinite Space 3: Sea of Stars</a><br> <br> Space Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://endless-space.amplitude-studios.com/" class="broken_link">Endless Space</a><br> * <a href="http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/">Escape Velocity: Nova</a><br> * <a href="http://www.ftlgame.com/">FTL</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/homeworld-series" class="broken_link">Homeworld Series</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/rules-of-engagement-series" class="broken_link">Rules of Engagement Series</a><br> * <a href="http://www.digital-eel.com/sais/">Strange Adventures in Infinite Space</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/starflight_1_2/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Starflight Series</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/star_control_1_2/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Star Control 2</a><br> * <a href="http://apezone.com/starshipkingdom.php">Starship Kingdom</a><br> * <a href="http://apezone.com/starshipsunlimited.php">Starships Unlimited</a><br> * <a href="http://matrixgames.com/products/293/details/Starships.Unlimited.-.Divided.Galaxies">Starships Unlimited: Divided Galaxies</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/star-wars-tie-fighter" class="broken_link">Star Wars: TIE Fighter</a><br> * <a href="http://www.kermitmurray.com/trek73/">Trek73</a><br> * <a href="http://www.infinitespacegames.com/weirdworlds/">Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/wing-commander-academy" class="broken_link">Wing Commander: Academy</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/wing-commander-armada" class="broken_link">Wing Commander: Armada</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/wing_commander_1_2/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Wing Commander 2</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/wing_commander_privateer/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Wing Commander: Privateer</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/wing-commander-prophecy">Wing Commander: Prophecy</a><br> <br> Other Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.sega.com/alienscolonialmarines/">Aliens: Colonial Marines</a><br> * <a href="http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/">Borderlands</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/gameboy-color/john-romeros-daikatana_" class="broken_link">Daikatana</a><br> * <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/110500">Data Jammers: Fast Forward</a><br> * <a href="http://doom.chaosforge.org/">DoomRL</a><br> * <a href="http://www.dukenukemforever."></a>
