Is venus patrol a flight sim done by Pishtaco?
  http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=17327.0

Or an upcoming blog project by Brandon Boyer?
  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/774616737/venus-patrol-charting-a-new-course-for-videogame-c

The video on kickstarter uses a clip from the game (0:47) which makes me more curious about the relationship between the two.

conspiracy

brandon boyer is trying to initiate pishtaco into the indie elite by using his status to create a popular project. when it launches, he will say "PSYCH" and it will be the game's website

Story is: Pishtaco made the game, Brandon liked it and wanted to use the name for his website, asked Pishtaco and got permission to do so.  The website and game are essentially unrelated beyond that afaik.

Oh, so that's why I'm confused as hell whenever someone mentions it.  Shocked (Because it brings to mind the game, and I think "I'm sure that wasn't Brandon's...")

Eh, yeah. I was arguing with someone on IRC about that a while back and was really confused about the relation when I saw the site.


What a weird thing to do.

Venus Patrol the game is fantastic. Perhaps it'll get the exposure it deserves on account of this blog.

I remember reading somewhere someone asking what the site has to do with the game and Brandon's answer being something like: "You'll see soon". But that could also be my brain trying to do a fool out of me.
