The for just $7500, but it's not the company it used to be, and so excitement over that development was somewhat muted.
A new, official Freespace project entitled Freespace Tactics actually hit Kickstarter a few days ago, which very briefly raised my eyebrows until I realized it's not for a videogame, but for a tabletop miniatures game "inspired by" the series. I prefer my Freespace with a joystick, but the team behind the game has said that there is actually a videogame connection, of sorts.
"Part of why we are doing with this project is to gauge interest in the FreeSpace universe," FreeSpace Development Corp., the creator of the Kickstarter, wrote in the comments. "If this is successful, it will certainly help us get a couple steps closer to a new PC game."
Cynical readers might see it as not-overly-subtle way of building for this project by tying it to the fate of something that people very much want, and the crowdfunding success of shutting down a fan remake of the original Descent.
