Summary: Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my bestest of best friends! :) This week, <a href="https://www.alienpickle.com/">Jim</a>, 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, <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/383800/">Close Order</a>! 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.<br> 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, <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1481023416/stellar-tactics-sci-fi-rpg" class="broken_link">Stellar Tactics</a>! As always, if you have any questions or comments, you can hit us up below, email us at <a href="mailto:hail@spacegamejunkie.com">hail@spacegamejunkie.com</a> or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening, and again, we hope you enjoy the show!<br> <br> Show Notes<br> News Items<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.galaxyheistgame.com/donation/">Galaxy Heist now taking Pre-Orders, or “Donations”</a><br> * <a href="https://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=74dea282ad9defbc0d2ad33ce&id=c0d4e93bbe&e=1183479ee5">Iceberg signs Stars in Shadow</a><br> * <a href="https://us5.campaign-archive2.com/?u=74dea282ad9defbc0d2ad33ce&id=51ee41077e&e=1183479ee5">Dawn of Andromeda now Taking Beta Applications</a><br> * <a href="https://everspace-game.com/shop/">Everspace Closed Alpha Buy-in Ends 4/30, Alpha Starts 4/29</a><br> * <a href="https://www.marketwired.com/press-release/ccp-games-eve-onlines-citadel-expansion-builds-dreams-and-wrecks-them-2118975.htm">CCP announces Citadel Expansion for EVE Online</a><br> <br> Games Mentioned<br> <br> * 3030 Deathwar Redux<br> * Dawn of Andromeda<br> * EVE Online<br> * Everspace<br> * Galaxy Heist<br> * Stars in Shadow<br> <br> Miscellany<br> <a href="https://raconteurgames.com/traiteur/" class="broken_link">Traiteur Link</a><br> <br> <br>
