Kent Reese | The Sandbox.Space Weekly #115 (July 29th, 2026)

Another Tom-hosted episode, this time with Kent Reese of OM Games, where we chat about finishing major life-consuming projects and how to move on, along with a series of recent industry headlines and topics of interest. Kent Reese has built a game called Duck and the Land of Flightless Birds over the course of the last fifteen years, (as an indie business for over ten of them,) and you can play it now on Steam!
