We have been reporting on a number of games that have had very successful fund raising campaigns on the Kickstarter web site. Today, we wanted to mention one that is very close to reaching its goal but only has a few more hours to achieve it. The game is called Starlight Inception and it's a space shooter game in the same genre as the Wing Commander and Freespace franchises.
The game is being developed by Escape Hatch Entertainment, an Austin, Texas-based company founded by Garry Gaber. Previous to forming Escape Hatch, Gaber worked at LucasArts for a number of years, including acting as the project lead of the RTS game Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
As described on the Kickstarter site:
Starlight Inception is a realistic and relevant 1st person (both with cockpit and without) / 3rd person strategic and tactical space combat experience. It has a unique blend of action with an involving storyline. Features include ship based combat both in space and on planets and moons, interplanetary exploration, and multiplayer dogfighting.
The game is being developed as a downloadable PC game, or it could be made as a downloadable title for the new PS Vita console from Sony. The fund raising goal is $150,000 but with less than 12 hours to go, the team has only raised just over $117,000.
