Star Control 2 was a seminal gaming experience for me in my younger days and I’m pretty pumped about a proper sequel to it from the original creators, Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III, after so many years!
After the lackluster “sequels” (Star Control 3 and Star Control: Origins) that were made largely without the original developers input, I had pretty much given up the franchise for dead till now.
Still like 27 days to go on their Kickstarter at the time of this posting so get on the Frungy hype train while you can!

For those of you not in the know, you can get Star Control 2 for free on Steam and see what the pinnacle of DOS adventure gaming was all about :D

I mean I love the original and as much as I would love to play this game, I think I’ll sit this out until it officially comes out.
Just too many bad experiences with kickstarter games and just kickstarter projects in general myself even with established game devs. I’ll look forward to it when it comes out in early access or just when it officially releases.
