  1. BTW: Here's the full 2hr 12min interview. (They apparently played a lot of 'Empire' which was an amazing DOS land conquer game using ASCII text. I played the heck out of that game.)

  6. I learned how to write music on a ‘Polyend Tracker Mini’, which is a portable battery powered tracker that you can take with you and has everything to write music on the go. I’ve played with #ImpulseTracker some back in the DOS days so while learning the interface took an evening, I got most of a song written in about two days.

    Very fun inspiration for experimentation! So here’s a quirky song inspired by #StarControl and the kind of theme songs they wrote for all the different races you can meet and really neatly communicated the feels of the kind of a society you were in contact with.

    A chance to imagine a whole new first contact! aviancer.bandcamp.com/track/ha

    I also swapped over to Bandcamp from SoundCloud after they opted everyone in on the whole AIGen training train, so I guess this is the launch of that also! All the #creativity! ❤️

  9. Q: Does anyone know if #PaulReicheIII is on social anywhere? I've gotten to chat w/ some of my fave game developers of all time & the creator of:
    1️⃣ #Archon
    2️⃣ #StarControl
    3️⃣ #Skylanders
    ...would absolutely qualify! 😁
    (I also playtested EA's Starflight, one of his inspirations for SC.)

  12. I'd never learned the outcome of the battle between #Stardock / #BradWardell & #PaulReicheIII / #FrederickFord over the IP & trademark for one of my all-time favorite games, #StarControl.

    Until today.

  15. Why is there so much controversy around Scarlett Johansson's voice being used for AI assistants when we all really want the voice of the Ur-Quan?

  23. I almost never pledge to a kickstarter (I think the only one I have ever done was the giant sized Ogre game from Steve Jackson Games), but Star Control II was one of my favorite computer games ever so I did the new sequel Free Stars (just a couple of days left):
