I almost never pledge to a kickstarter (I think the only one I have ever done was the giant sized Ogre game from Steve Jackson Games), but Star Control II was one of my favorite computer games ever so I did the new sequel Free Stars (just a couple of days left):

The first trailer and #Kickstarter announcement just dropped this morning for #FreeStars: Children of Infinity. This is going to be the proper sequel for #StarControl2: #TheUrQuanMasters by the original devs, they just can't call it #StarControl anymore since they don't own the trademark. This is my most anticipated game in development currently!
