Day One is almost in the books and we could not be more thankful for this tremendous show of support. What you all have demonstrated is a clear demand for quality, fun experiences and with your help that's exactly what we'll deliver!

We've received some excellent questions in the last few hours and have updated the FAQ with the most common inquiries. Also, the $15 Early Bird tier is closing fast, so grab those while you can!

Though you accomplished a great deal today, the Kickstarter journey for us all has just begun. So we ask that you continue to share this project with your friends and colleagues, send us questions and post your feedback. With all of that and your support we're certain to knock this raise out of the park and move on to some exciting stretch goals!

The Ark-13 appears to be the Little Star Ship That Could as you've propelled the Kickstarter raise for Into the Stars more than half way past our initial goal. We're absolutely humbled and so thankful that the game we're making has captured the attention of so many generous backers. You all inspire us and with your continued support and feedback we'll take this thing to great heights!

This is the second update in 24 hours, but we want to ensure you that practice won't be routine as we don't intend to spam your Inbox. That said, we've got some information we'd like to share before we get back to work.

We're exhausted after an amazing and busy week, but wanted to send out an update in case you missed any of the major Into the Stars news this week. Before that however we just had to take another opportunity to thank you all as we're still amazed with the game's reception.

At this point we're 83% of the way towards our baseline goal and revealing Stretch Goals. You can help us get there by continuing to share our endeavor with the world. Stay tuned for an update on Monday that audiophiles are sure to love and enjoy your weekend!

After only a week we're nearing our initial goal and this is all thanks to you, our generous backers. Meeting the $85k mark will allow us to build the quality game you all deserve, but we'd like to take things further and that's why we're announcing our Stretch Goals today.

You all have posed some questions and concerns about our stretch goals that we’d like to address.

First and foremost, our focus is on delivering a quality and polished PC title with our $85k goal. The stretch goals will not have a negative impact on, or derail the development of, the experience we plan to deliver there.
We received numerous messages requesting alternate language support in the last week, which is why we prioritized it in our Stretch Goals. Our plan was to support gamers from other territories while still offering realistic gameplay goals for everyone.

We certainly didn’t intend for the stretch goals to upset anyone who felt like they weren’t adding enough, but our primary focus is on meeting our initial raise and delivering a quality experience with those resources.

Well, we did it - Earlier today we crossed the $85k target we set as our goal and we have you to thank. Every share, tweet and mention helped to get us this far and we're truly thankful for your support.

Sharing our dream of Into the Stars and Fugitive Games with the world was a scary prospect, especially with the game in pre-alpha state, but you all have validated that decision with your comments, questions and your wallets. Had we not secured the funds requested in this campaign the game certainly wouldn't be the robust experience you all deserve and we're excited to deliver.

So, what's next? We announced our Stretch Goals at the start of the week and now is the time to start driving towards them. Every single one of them (except PS4) represents something we'd love to ship with the game when it launches, but we need your help for that to be the case.

A little over 17 days remain in the campaign and we have some fun things planned to support the effort. So stay tuned, keep sharing the campaign and let's reach for the stars!

I always wondered why nobody ever made an updated version of the Amiga game 'Starflight.' On first glance 'Into The Stars' looks like it might be pretty similar.

4-man dev outfit Fugitive Games seemingly sprung up out of nowhere at the start of this year with a Kickstarter for a space-themed journey game, and two former project leads from DICE. The crowd funding went pretty well, and the campaign successfully navigated the sceptical and demanding modern Kickstarter environment.

Nevertheless, despite plenty of talk about space, adventures, FTL and Battlestar Galatica, there were still unanswered questions about the game. With the project now just a stone’s throw from being alpha, we decided to have a chat with Development Director Ben Jones and Creative Director Roy Orr and find out what we could about Into the Stars.
