Summary: Howdy folks, and welcome to this week’s episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! This week, <a href="http://www.badmoviepodcast.com/">Jim</a> and I sit down with Producer and Lead Designer Ole Herbjørnsen and Art Director Garret AJ to talk about their currently Kickstarted game, <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1964463742/the-mandate">The Mandate</a>. We learn a lot about the game, its evolution, its history and even play around a little with its ship designer and such. It was a damned fun podcast to record, and should make for a fun listen. :)<br> As always, we hope you enjoy the show, look forward to your comments below, and invite you to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes or RSS. Thanks for listening! :)<br> <br> Podcast #34 Show Notes:<br> Space Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.ftlgame.com/">FTL</a><br> * <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1964463742/the-mandate">The Mandate</a><br> * <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leafygames/pulsar-lost-colony">PULSAR: Lost Colony</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/star-trek-klingon-academy" class="broken_link">Star Trek: Klingon Academy</a><br> * <a href="http://sto.perfectworld.com/">Star Trek Online</a><br> <br> Other Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/entry" class="broken_link">XCOM Enemy Unknown</a><br> <br> Miscellany:<br> <br> * <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Jenkins'_Ear">War of Jenkins’ Ear</a><br> <br> Note: I’m swamped this week so rather than listening to the entire show again and building the notes from that — which I sadly don’t have time for — I’m building these from memory, so stuff might be missed. My apologies.<br>
