Following up on June's interview with Shinri of Holostars, Maverick hops aboard the Starlight Car with Cover CEO Motaki Tanigo, AKA Yagoo, and CTO Ryota Aomi, also known for his work previously as the series producer for Dragon Quest. Maverick asks about the trajectory of Hololive EN in the last 5 years, how Holoearth and other game endeavors seek to bridge connections between talent to fans, and what it means to be a Vtuber corporation amidst the ever growing subculture.

Maverick had the opportunity to sit down with HOLOSTARS Guild TEMPUS member Josuiji Shinri! Shinri is someone who thinks critically about his role as a streamer, and the way that the modern-day access to audiences can really lead to some positive impacts. Between video games and vulnerability, Shinri highlights just how his decision to take to the medium has led to ripples in the lives of others. You can find Shinri at his YouTube channel here!

Scott and John sit down with a handful of the folks with the Duke Nukem Forever 2001 Restoration Project to talk about revitalizing the promised Duke Nukem Forever that didn't quite meet player's expectations when it finally came out. In 2022, a Duke Nukem Forever build leaked on 4chan that was much closer to the vision of Duke Nukem Forever seen trailers up until 2001. This caused an intrepid group of modders, game devs and artists of all stripes to try and rebuild the promised version of Duke Nukem Forever that Duke fans didn't exactly get in 2011. You can find the Duke Nukem Forever: Restoration Project on Twitter @DNF2001rp, and on their ModDB page.

The theme for Starlight Car is a “Super Chill" remix of Aquamarine by Magic Circuit, which is available off their self-titled album, Magic Circuit. You can find them at @magic_circuit on Twitter or at magic-circuit.com for more details.

The Starlight Express will always roll around and the Starlight Car will always open its doors to anyone who needs a ride. Conductors Walker & Solon host an exclusive interview with Silverstring Media‘s Claris Cyarron (@Cyarron) and Lucas Johnson (@lucasjwjohnson), who are about to put the finishing touches on Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between, the sequel to the acclaimed arthouse game Glitchhikers: The First Drive (2014), now seven years in the making. Together, we go back through all seven years of this production process to talk about how making games is different now than it was during the last decade as well as how a team like Silverstring stays on the cutting edge of expression and art. After the interview we also get the honor of playing the newest single from Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between’s soundtrack that has never been heard before. Strange Passenger by Devin Vibert can be found at https://devinvibert.bandcamp.com/ May this discussion be a small monument to what we can accomplish when we allow ourselves time and faith. Consider following us on twitter @VGChooChoo, Solon @ChorbySP, and Walker @PunkParfait.
