SGJ Podcast #163 – Sol Trader

Hello my friends, and welcome to this week’s episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! This week Hunter and I (sans Jim due to the early hour) sit down with Chris Parsons, creator and developer of the space game and personal relationship management sim, Sol Trader. This game is a fascinating mix of interconnected relationships, space combat and trading, and living a life inside this world, from your birth to your death. We talk a lot about the game’s creation and revision, the double-edged sword that is early access, DLC vs. expansion packs and much more.
