Star Traders Adds More Origin References; Cutting It Close On Final Day (March 27, 2016)

[ChrisReid]

As David Ladyman's Star Traders Kickstarter enters its final day, we've got a recap of Wing Commander-related items to catch up on. If you missed last week's livestream with LOAF, the full recording is available here. They spend over an hour talking about the ins and outs of Wing Commander game documentation, novels and strategy guides that Mr. Ladyman either wrote, edited or helped package. It turns out he's the person who hand-wrote the Mr. Kat letter from Graham in Voices of War! The campaign has also announced its Rogue character, which is patterned off none other than Origin founder Richard Garriott. They have also committed to naming one of the planets Roberts if they gather $15,000 in support from Chris Roberts fans. Ending contributions with a ten cent denomination (such as $40.10) signifies your support for this. With just about nine hours remaining, the drive still needs about $7,500 to cross the finish line. They will be hosting a final 8-hour livestream on Twitch to see it through to the end. If you were thinking about supporting this project, now's your last chance!

Just barely funded. I'm very happy for David.

was a cool moment when I got to mention that once it went over the goal kickstarter would no longer allow people to adjust pledges to a lower level than 'funded'
