SGJ Podcast #204 – Discovery Freelancer




Space Game Junkie Podcast show

Summary: Welcome to episode 204 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>, Spaz and I sit down with Sindroms, one of the server admins behind the genius Freelancer mod, <a href="https://discoverygc.com/">Discovery Freelancer</a>. We talk about the long history of the mod (a decade at least), the ins and outs of Freespace modding, why Freespace isn’t available digitally and so much more. We had a really fun discussion because Freelancer is such a fun game, but also because Sindroms is a really colorful fella. :) He was also kind enough to join us in the middle of the night, Latvian time, which was nice as it meant almost all of us could join in. Overall we had a phenomenal time, AAAANNNND, we didn’t drop any frames during the stream! Yay!<br> Next week we’ll be talking to the folks behind the Master of Orion 1 (yes, not 2, thank god, everyone’s trying to do 2) remake/homage thingy, <a href="https://remnantsoftheprecursors.com/">Remnants of the Precursors</a>! If you have any questions or comments, please hit us up below, email us at <a href="mailto:hail@spacegamejunkie.com">hail@spacegamejunkie.com</a> or hit us up on the forums.<br> Also, finally, the review contest is over. We had a solid amount of entries, and I’ll be contacting the winner soon.
