Diecast #324: Star Citizen
This is an unusual episode. At an hour and 26 minutes, this is the longest Diecast since October 2016, when Diecast #171 ran for an hour and a half. I can’t be sure, but I also suspect that this is the longest time we’ve ever spent on a single topic, with the Star Citizen discussion running for over an hour. And finally, this is the first time where Paul did most of the talking and I did most of the listening.
This is the most fun I’ve had making a Diecast in years, which is why I let it run so long. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I really wish more companies did this sort of thing.
14:22 Valve Prototypes
Sometime a decade-ish ago, Vavle set their devs loose to build a bunch of prototypes. Some of the ideas wound up as part of Left 4 Dead and Portal. I can’t remember what this initiative was called, but I remember it was really interesting.
17:57 Mailbag: BioWare Exodus
Hi!
So, Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah are leaving Bioware (if IGN to be trusted — https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1334605241271136258?s=20 ). Any particular opinion on this development?
Best regards, DeadlyDark
23:22 Star Citizen
Join us as Paul takes us on a fantastic voyage through the universe of Star Citizen and all of the astronomical wonders this game holds. You will see things that no other game has shown us.
Although, maybe there’s a good reason other games haven’t shown us these things. I dunnno.
You might want to watch the YouTube version of the podcast, which has the footage of his adventure.
