Hello my friends, and welcome to this week’s podcast episode! This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I sit down with Alex Mosolov, the creator and developer of the amazing space sandbox that is Starsector, to talk about that game’s long and amazing journey through its pre-release period. For about a decade, this game has morphed from a straightforward top-down tactical combat game to a fully-realized sandbox with factions, missions, quests, trade and more. We talk to Alex about the game’s journey, its design, and much more in what was a lengthy, engaging and overall really fun episode.
