“The idea came from games like GTA and Cyberpunk that have their own awesome in-game radios, not just with music, but with ads too, which help make it feel like “authentic” radio.

I wanted the same for us NMS players. Hope that one day HG might give us something similar in NMS.

I make music on the ByteBeat and knew a couple other artists willing to let me share their music so I was able to start there. As soon as I mentioned what I wanted to do, help started coming from everywhere. Just about everyone I asked was more than happy to get involved. I had a friend help with the logo, others helping with parody ads and station jingles, and I was able to find so many more artists and their awesome ByteBeat tunes.

It was one of these things that just sort of took off. Definitely wouldn’t have been possible without the awesome folks in the NMS community.”
