Thanks! I made that together with my good friend Mark Voorsanger and we had a blast making that and those are very nostalgic memories for me!

The new one, ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove, will be out in the next few months, and in the coming weeks we'll be announcing the release date.. we're in the final finish line, we just need to get the final OK from the console platform holders

YES! We'd love to see ToeJam and Earl appear in all sorts of games -- the main challenges is making connections with those people (so if you have something, reach out to us!). I think a lot of people think SEGA owns the IP, but they actually own the original games, but not the IP and trademark (It's owned by myself and Mark Voorsanger, original other creator) -- so perhaps people don't know we have the rights and think they have to reach out to SEGA...

So if you have a cool idea, and can fufill the conditions of TJ&E's contract rider (no moldy cabbage, lots of rootbeer), then they wanna talk to you!

That's a really fun idea -- we would need access to another plane. Rod McConnell was actually a full time pilot for Flying Tigers (Cargo Airline) and that's a cockpit of a 747 -- so if you have any planes lying around (or a space shuttle would be ok too) then yes, we would love to recreate!

Oh and I glued those Interstel logos onto our jumpsuits w/ construction paper :3

OH yeah! Capital SCIENCE Capital FICTION. When it comes to the ecosystems and planetary recommendations especially we're definitely gonna use the latest and greatest Scientific research we can find! For example the question of "What makes a planet more likely to support life or sentient life" has been heavily researched in the years since the original Starflight games. And we want to let players come away with a feeling like they've learned some science. Great question!

Binary Systems still owns the rights to Starflight, the company where I made Starflight! We have a licensing contract in place so we're good to go! Rod McConnell is the owner of Binary Systems and perhaps the nicest guy on this planet! He's given me his full confidence. Love ya, Rod!

In regards to fan games... I choose Friendly. I've always considered that a good thing as long as people make it clear that it's a fan-made game.
