Show Notes
Zynga's Brian Reynolds makes Planetfall on Three Moves Ahead and, along with Soren, Troy, and Rob, founds a discussion of <em>Alpha Centauri</em>. He explains what went wrong with the "<em>Civ </em>in space" idea, and the role of the game's fiction. He and Soren talk about how <em>Alpha Centauri </em>changed the <em>Civilization </em>series, and take a look at some of its strange features, like the design workshop and climate change. Brian reveals he used the cast album of <em>Les Miserables </em>for inspiration as he wrote for the game, and Troy immediately proposes marriage.
