UMBCast 025 - X-Wing
Hi Blockers!
This week, we're talking about the incredible space sim series, X-Wing.
Before we talk about that, the news:
The team that brought us the original Planetscape: Torment are kicksarting a new game, Torment: Tides of Numenera.
Lord British told us what he meant to. Check out his new game on kickstarter, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues.
Finally, the developers working on the new Shadowrun Returns game, which raised 18 million dollars last year, released 20 minute of alpha gameplay footage. Looks like they're on track.
Next, a quick email talking about Humungous games and where you can get them today.
Finaly we get to X-Wing. We talk about the story, gameplay and tech focus. In dev story, we go through the history of the series and a bit about each of the sequels. Then we hear a few listener memories of the games.
