Starcom: Nexus, and What It’s Like to Live with an Indie Game Developer
Today Kevin’s game, Starcom: Nexus, releases in Early Access on Steam. It’s a thing of beauty, and also a lot of fun. If you like games that take you into outer space where you get to explore mysterious worlds, build a powerful ship, and explode bad guys, you should buy it, and play it, and let your gamer friends know about it. Yes, I’m biased, but reviewers and streamers - who are not his spouse - also love it :o). (FYI those last two links go to youtube streaming vids.)

Conversation at the dinner table:
Kevin: How was your day?
Me: Okay, I guess. I still can’t figure out how to get this girl to accidentally set her house on fire, then cause an explosion and get stuck in a window grille.
Kevin: I believe in you.
Me: Thank you. How was your day?
Kevin: Okay. When my enemy ships get within a certain distance of each other, they spontaneously explode.
Me: Oh!
Kevin: It’s not supposed to happen. It’s a bug.
Me: Oh.
Kevin: I can’t figure it out.
Me: I believe in you!
