In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction, we've uploaded the 167th and 168th episodes of the Alien vs. Predator Galaxy Podcast for your auditory pleasure! For episode #168 we were able to track down three of the people who made the game a reality – Lead designer Jason Hough, lead artist Brian Collins and producer Mike Arkin – to discuss the development of the game.

We discuss the initial pitch, what happened to multiplayer, that one particular guy at 20th Century Fox who made the development a struggle, how Fox had suggested turning the game into APC racing and plenty more!

During the interview, Jason Hough mentions a novel called You, written by Austin Grossman, as something he recommends to people interested in knowing what developer life was like when they were working on the game. You can find it for purchase on Amazon. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Austin-Grossman/dp/1444729942?tag=avp09-21)
