SGJ Podcast #157 – Ascent – The Space Game

Welcome to this latest episode of the space Game Junkie Podcast, my friends! This week, Jim, Hunter and I welcome back the developer of Ascent – The Space Game, James Hicks of Fluffy Kitten Studios, to talk about their game and a host of other stuff. We had James on two years ago, and back THEN, the game was primarily browser-based and had JUST arrived as a separate executionable on Desura. Ha ha, Desura, poor things. Anyway, the game has matured quite a bit since then, and has even recently left early access! We talk about the journey the game has taken between our last podcast and this one, the perils of early access, the joy of a great community and much more! It’s a very fun discussion, I think, and I hope you agree.
