SGJ Podcast #158 – Falling Stars: War of Empires

I WANT ALL OF IT.
I WANT ALL OF IT.

Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my friends! Sorry for the slight delay on this one, but it has been one HELL of a god damned week, IRL as the kids say, for me this week, so thank you for your patience. :) This week, Jim and I welcome Philip Devine, Founder of Riveted Games, to talk about his 4x strategy board game thing of awesomeness, Falling Stars: War of Empires. It’s a great discussion about the perils of indie gaming and expectations, finding a publisher, learning about engines we’ve never heard of before, balancing having both single and multiplayer, and quite a bit more. It’s a fun show covering a fun game, and we hope you enjoy it.

Next week on the podcast, at a special time (6:00 AM PDT), we’ll be talking to the folks at Crunchy Leaf Games about their recently published space game fantastique, 3030 Deathwar Redux! If you have a guest you’d like us to bring on, or a comment or question, you can leave it below in the comments, email us at hail@spacegamejunkie.com or hit us up on the forums. Thanks so much for watching/listening, and enjoy the show!
