"They were totally game to play ball": how Zachtronics almost made a Star Trek engineering sim
Former Zachtronics founder Zach Barth discusses an abandoned pitch for a Star Trek engineering simulation game, which was considered after a Warhammer 40,000 pitch fell through. Licensing issues with Star Trek and The Orville, along with creative control concerns, ultimately led Barth and his colleagues to develop their own original puzzle game, U.V.S. Nirmana.
