We've shared a new update for Free Stars: Children of Infinity! Read about our enhancements to HyperSpace, our playable beginning-of-the-game, what our next chunk of work will be, and much more.

We've raised over $500,000 from over 5,000 backers so far, and our Kickstarter still has 4 days to go! Thank you for helping us climb so high. Please spread the word in our campaign's final days!

WE DID IT! We met our $100k USD goal on our first day of our Kickstarter for Free Stars: Children of Infinity!!! This is the ultimate, best feeling in the world. It is even better than the feeling of snuggling up to a warm campfire, petting a soft animal, or getting into bed after a long day–combined. We are so grateful for everyone’s support on our journey here, and we absolutely could not have done it without all of you. This is only getting started, and we still need your support to meet our stretch goals. Please keep spreading the word, come tune in to our live streams (first one tomorrow!), and check back in to see just how high we can climb.

The Kickstarter for Free Stars: Children of Infinity is now live! https://lnkd.in/gFkFrBQN

On April 16th at 7am PT, we are excited to launch our Kickstarter for Free Stars: Children of Infinity at https://lnkd.in/gFkFrBQN. Sign up now to be notified when it goes live and help us garner more support! The more attention you can help us get and the more backers who join us, the more successful we will be with our entire campaign. We’re using Kickstarter to raise funds which will help us see our game to completion and create the sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters that we dream of. There might even be a few things in it for you too… Beyond some unique digital rewards, we’re also creating some cool physical collectibles. Whether you want to immerse yourself in our handmade art and stories, long for a beautiful starmap to hang on your wall, or simply wish to don your Captain’s regalia with pride, we have a variety of treats we think you’ll enjoy. We’ve entered full production mode only with the confidence that we can finish what we started and that we think we have something really cool. After nearly three years of self-funding, along with the help of our Patreon community we’ve assembled, we are asking for your support to take this project across the finish line and make it the best it can be. We are grateful for all of you helping to keep the Free Stars universe alive all these years. We hope you’re as excited for this as we are, and we can’t wait to launch our campaign on the 16th. Hope to see you all on Kickstarter!

We talk with Richard Cobbett about writing for The Long Journey Home, Sunless Sea/Skies, and Nighthawks. Richard shares his love for The Ur-Quan Masters and explains how good storytelling can draw the player into a game's story, setting, and characters.

We talk with Chris Taylor about leading game productions like Total Annihilation and Dungeon Siege. Chris talks about running a studio, engaging the audience, and why it's sometimes better to be an employee than a leader.

Our Kickstarter pre-launch page for Free Stars: Children of Infinity is now available! Sign up to get notified when we go live.
