NONE WILL BE LEFT TO MOURN YOU BUT GHOSTS

There was a time when I was working way too much. Between putting in upwards of 55 hours a week at my desk job and chipping away at my art projects, I had little to no time to play any games.

One dragging lunch break, however, a co-worker of mine pointed me to Loren Schmidt’s Star Guard, an independently developed Flash game that took Schmidt a long 16 months to complete. What resulted was a convincingly epic yet simplistic interactive space opera that gorged itself on several well-spent hours of my time.
