Are you ready to journey through the universe of game development with Scott and Matt? This episode promises a thrilling exploration of the gaming cosmos, beginning with the recent release of Starfield and its comparison with Baldur's Gate 3. We navigate through the nebula of online reactions and delve into the intricate realms of game development and review bombing. As we orbit Bethesda’s successful game development strategies, we seek answers to high gamer expectations and discuss the mixed reactions Starfield has generated.

As we further traverse the gaming galaxy, we brainstorm an innovative game concept. Imagine a cooperative yet competitive city-building base management system. Two players, as aspiring mayors, work together for their city's prosperity but are simultaneously fierce rivals. We ideate on adding rogue-like elements and the potential of a collaborative effort between a space-dwelling and a ground-based player. The icing on the cake? A planetary defence game with AI or robot players, security camera feeds, and first-person gameplay that keeps you on your toes! Join us on this exhilarating ride through the gaming universe. Your seatbelt is fastened, right?
