[…] (which is excellent if y’all haven’t listened to it) have a new episode covering Starflight! Yay! The host also released videos of his playing the first and second game, which are […]
Exceptional show, lots of fun to listen to! I’m really glad you found the games to be as awesome as us fans do. 🙂 I don’t know if I can agree that the second game is better though, since it actually ends. 😉
Question though, how did you get all that awesome inside info on the development?
I usually start from Wikipedia and then google-fu it out from there. Sometimes it takes me to strange places that have scans of old magazine articles and lots of trips to archive.org for old web interviews. There’s usually quite a bit of info that’s pretty easily accessible.
