Development To Begin Soon On New Star Control Game [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

In 1990, a development studio called Toys for Bob created a game called Star Control, a fun little space combat game with a bit of strategy added in. In 1992, they released Star Control 2, a full-blown space adventure RPG, which became one of the seminal works of early PC gaming. (Later open-sourced and released for modern systems.) After that, creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III lost control of the franchise to Accolade, who botched Star Control 3 and eventually abandoned the series. Last July, Stardock, the studio behind Sins of a Solar Empire, acquired the rights, and they're now discussing their plans to resurrect the classic series. They'll be using Star Control 2 as a template and an inspiration for all aspects of the game. They're also talking with Ford and Reiche to get input on the game and to hold true to their creative intentions. Production will begin this winter. http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Development+To+Begin+Soon+On+New+Star+ Control+Game%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1iz6hgX) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F14%2F01%2F03%2F1521234%2Fdevelopment-to-begin-soon-on-new-star-control-game%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebo ok) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/14/01/03/1521234/development-to-begin-soon-on-new-star-control-game?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
