All Systems Brough - Introduction

We're joined by Frank Lantz (Q-UP) and Mare Sheppard + Raigan Burns of Metanet (N++) for the first episode of All Systems Brough, a year-long exploration of the work of Michael Brough. We share our thoughts on why Michael's oeuvre demands a deep dive, add some historical context, and share the plan for the year ahead. We also introduce a (final?) rebrand to the podcast!
Next episode: 868-HACK (it's also recommended that you start playing Vesper.5 now to prepare for later)
(Tentative) Episode/play order:
• 868-HACK

• Vertex Dispenser

• Zaga-33

• Vesper.5

• Corrypt

• Kompendium (plus digital archiving of O)

• BECOME A GREAT ARTIST IN JUST 10 SECONDS

• Helix (plus SMESPORT)

• Imbroglio

• Cinco Paus

• P1 Select (plus Quinzena maybe?) & Broughlike Game Jam Games

• 868-BACK (caveat: still in development)
