Fan Collective Unimatrix 47: Star Trek Prodigy’s “Supernova, Part 1” Episode

Game Industry News

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. “ Supernova, Part 1 ” is every bit a penultimate episode, in that it addresses certain trailing plotlines without resolving others. Dal really shines in this episode, both for his resolute determination to do his best for his friends and crew but also for Starfleet, the group that will, eventually, reject him. We also get a lovely return to the season’s opening theme of the importance of communication and how it works to bring people together even where it requires effort

2022 was a waste for my engine until this happened

Harold Serrano

The year 2022 was an excellent year for me. I started a new job, and my family grew. But, in terms of the engine, not so much. I'm sad to say that the Untold Engine saw little progress this year. Part of it was personal matters that needed my attention which reduced my bandwidth. But the main reason was the lack of direction for the game engine. For most of the year, I had no idea what to do with my game engine.
