SGJ Podcast #93 – Smart Talk with Derek Smart

SO MANY LASERS!

Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! This week, Jim and I sit down with famed space sim designer Derek Smart to talk about the upcoming free release on Steam of his Universal Combat Collector’s Edition 2.0 (or possibly out by the time you read this Edit: It’s out!!!)! We spent a lot of time talking about the history of the Battlecruiser series and also play quite a bit of Universal Combat Collector’s Edition 2.0 as well. Later in the year 3000AD will also be released Universal Combat Advanced, with an even further updated engine. We talk about all this and dish out hot firey laser death as we do so. While I did spend a lot of time playing the game, I also tried to help conduct an interview as well. ;) This hopefully makes it as fun to listen to as it was to record. :)

As always, we hope you enjoy the show, and hope you’ll pick up and enjoy the game once it’s available on Steam. Finally, don’t forget that if you have a guest or topic you’d like us to cover, hit us up at hail@spacegamejunkie.com. Thanks for listening!
