Free Stars: Children of Infinity (A Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters sequel)
Free Stars: Children of Infinity has been announced:
This is a sequel by Fred Ford and Paul Reiche to their 1992 game Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters. (This game has recently been rebranded as Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters due to different people holding trademarks and the like. It has been settled, no worries there). For those that don't remember the original game, this is Pistol Shrimp's Steam release trailer for the rebranded version from last year. I am looking forward to this as the original sequel (Star Control 3) did come out and had some interesting story notes, it just wasn't quite as much fun (also didn't have Ford or Reiche involved in the project). Stardock's Star Control entry is fun, but doesn't continue the story set up in Star Control 2. So this new game should scratch the 30 year itch of getting that story with a very similar styling to the early 90s game.

The Kickstarter reached its first goal in less than half a day. I intend to get the physical lore book and map once the game comes out.
A link to the Kickstarter if anyone is curious. http://kck.st/3vT9fem

There are now three days left on the Kickstarter. They are currently at 542% funded. Still looking to get 670% funded for Voice Over work. There was an upswell yesterday as they have started to show off some of the artists that are involved as well as the classic ships in the updated style.

George Barr, original UQM illustrator and painter. Robert Mauritson, longtime UQM fan-artist creating alien portraits Tim Sjastad (Phantom Fury), ship and creature artist They are authorizing a push. So, I push.
