... that the publisher of Redshirt suggested adding a sci-fi theme to the social media simulation game when the game was initially pitched? Source: "I pitched the idea of the game to Positech Games, who agreed to publish it, but also suggested the additional sci-fi theming, which I thought was fantastic" ([1])

@Hawkeye7: Ha! My last DYK was a monstrosity in comparison. There's a lot more in the world out there about this game in terms of reviews and interviews, it's a weirdly fascinating little game that I mean to expand after this has gone on the main page. Really appreciate the prompt review here, thanks! Nomader (talk) 05:50, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
