Edit: Thanks so much, we did it! The KS is over and 6785 backers raised $680k!

The #FreeStars: Children of Infinity #Kickstarter (already at $660k) has 2 more hours to raise another $10k to meet the next stretch goal: English voice acting! Fans of #StarControl and #RetroGaming, please help us get a strong finish for this campaign for a feature so many of us want! We are so close now!

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!

Happy days and jubilation! The classic game series formerly known as #StarControl just got a new name: #FreeStars! The Ur-Quan Masters will be getting a Steam release, and a title for the official sequel has been announced: Children of Infinity! I am looking forward to seeing some of my favorite devs back on one of my favorite series, and embracing open source - UQM has been for a while, and the new game is being made with #Godot!
