SGJ Podcast #153 – Close Order

Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my bestest of best friends! :) This week, Jim, 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, Close Order! 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.
