Star Traders 2 RPG Kickstarter Launches

The internet phenomenon known as Kickstarter has already proved itself to be an invaluable asset to indie game developers, and has released some amazing content that may have normally been unreleased . The latest Kickstarter to watch comes from the Trese Brothers, and it's a sequel to their sleeper-hit Star Traders RPG.

Star Traders 2 RPG prepares to lift off.

The game will take a lot from its predecessor, and be an open-world game in which you will command your ship, hand-pick your crew, and roam freely through a complex universe with freedom of choice in your goals, morality, and career.
The developer's plan on expanding on the original game's gameplay mechanics by incorporating large story arcs along with classic Star Traders sandbox play, adopting the mantra of "easy to play, challenging to master."

The sequel boast far more content than its predecessor.

The funding goal has been set at $50,000 and the developer plans on matching the funding from Kickstarter. If funded, The Trese Brothers plans to have an extensive multi-month alpha in which the alpha team works closely with the Trese Brothers in the last stages of development, and have a chance to influence the game development directly.
Tier rewards include 50% off pre-order of the game if you move quickly, and the ability to pre-order on multiple platforms and adding your own original NPCs to the core game. Star Traders 2 RPG is expected to release near the end of 2015.
If you're a fan of Star Trader RPG, management RPGs, or game's that are reminiscent of Firefly or Dune – this game might be for you. You can find even more information on their Kickstarter page.
