Summary: Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my friends! This week, <a href="https://www.alienpickle.com/">Jim</a>, <a href="https://playlegit.net/author/t42legit/">Hunter</a>, newly-minted co-host Spaz and I sit down with Mike (or MjnMixael as he’s known online) to talk about his extensive Freespace 2 total conversion mod continuation thing, <a href="https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=92575.0">Between the Ashes</a>. We talk to Mike for a while about the history of the mod, how he got involved with it, the ins and outs of Freespace Open editing, the community and a lot more. It all goes great for an hour or so…and then my Internet decides to take a dump on the bed, and the stream just has problem after problem. So while I was focused on trying to fix the stream, everyone else had a great conversation, which you can totally hear the entirety of in the audio version of the show. :)<br> I apologize profusely for the technical issues, and plan to spend time this very evening trying to diagnose and fix the issue. I hope it doesn’t get in the way of your enjoyment of this episode, though. :)<br> Next week on the show, we’ll be welcoming on the developer of the spacey procedural real time strategy game, <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/586920/Empyrean_Frontier/?beta=0">Empyrean Frontier</a>! As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel to drop them below, email us at <a href="mailto:hail@spacegamejunkie.com">hail@spacegamejunkie.com</a> or hit us up on the forums. Thanks so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy the show!<br> PS. Don’t forget we also still have a contest running! If you leave us a (hopefully positive) review on iTunes, you’ll be entered for a chance to win one of the many game codes I have, from the entire Wing Commander series on GOG to all of the X-Wing games on Steam. Once you’ve left a review, screenshot it and email it to <a href="mailto:contests@spacegamejunkie.com">contests@spacegamejunkie.com</a>! The contest runs for a few more weeks, so get on it! Every ten entries adds another winner, so ten entries will yield one winner, twenty entries, two winners, etc.<br> PPS. I fiddled with the ending song, be sure to check it out and let me know what’cha think. ;)<br> <br> Show Notes<br> Games Mentioned<br> <br> * Just Another Day Mod<br> * Blue Planet Mod<br> * Ancients Mod<br> * Wings of Dawn Mod<br> * Freespace 2<br> * Descent: Freespace<br> * Star Rangers<br> * Freelancer<br> * Discovery Freelancer<br> <br>
