The sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters has more than tripled its Kickstarter funding goal in four days.Free Stars: Children Of Infinity, which is a sequel to the series formerly known asStar Control, has so far raised $332k (£268k), although it’s still shooting for several stretch goals - including one as high as $4.4 million.
Free Stars: Children Of Infinity looks like a faithful follow-up, for better or worse. You control a spaceship as you explore the galaxy, charting your own path between planets, meeting and perhaps befriending strange alien species, and taking part in arcade-style battles when relationships falter. It’s also got online co-op.
Hence this sequel being likewise called Free Stars: Children Of Infinity. It’s the work of Pistol Shrimp, a studio formed of several former developers from Ford and Reiche’s old studio Toys For Bob.
If you’re looking for an explanation of why this sequel might be cool, or why the previous game is considered an all-time classic, thenyou should read Richard Cobbett’s explanation.
