UMBCast 035 - Master of Orion

Attention Blockers! It's time for episode 35, where we talk about the 1993 Simtex 4X strategy game, Master of Orion. Before that, news time: Bethesda announces the Elder Scrolls Anthology containing all Elder Scrolls games from Arena to Skyrim: Dragonborn. John Carmack joins Oculus VR as CTO. He is not leaving id however his work at Oculus will take priority. The history of Sierra Online film project I mentioned in a previous show did not fund. However the film will still be made. Finally, Precinct, Jim Walls' new game has cancelled its Kickstarter before it ended and is now adopting a tiered funding structure. Instead of trying to raise 500,000 dollars they are trying to raise 25,000 dollars to build a prototype. We then get into Master of Orion where we run through all the usual suspects plus some great emails from listeners.
