Ep. #196 - Metro Siege

In this episode, we talk to Alex Brown, coder in the team that is creating the brawler "Metro Siege", the first of its kind which works on a vanilla Amiga 500 and includes multiplayer online crossplay (Amiga, web browser, Steam PC). We talk to him about the technical finesse and firsts the game is putting its toes in, while being a wicked game with fantastic humor and gameplay cherries as an icing on the cake! Enjoy! The interview section starts at minute 0:37 into the podcast
