Player Attack - June 23, 2017 [SE5 EP15 1/4]

This week on Player Attack, we're headed out to the far reaches of the galaxy.

First up, it's survival time as Jessica explores Oxygen Not Included, a new experience from Don't Starve developer Klei. The game is packed with adorable features and creatures, and some unique interstellar residents, but - you guessed it - easy to pick up, fiendishly difficult to master.

You can forget everything you think you know about driving a spaceship. Turns out that it's not at all like flying a plane, and a lot more like piloting a giant, floating submarine. At least, that's the approach Flat Earth Games is taking, with the upcoming release of Objects In Space - a game that also encourages you to build your own cockpit.

And as if all that wasn't enough, in the latest clip from Angelo's Player A-Chat series, we sat down with local Adelaide games writer James O'Connor to chat about freelance writing, kids' magazines, video game academia, and the thesis he wrote about player-driven narratives in GTA IV.
