David Brabens studie Frontier Development har startet en Kickstarter-kampagne for at rejse penge til et comeback for den legendariske Elite-serie.
Det oprindelige spil udkom i de tidlige 80'ere, og at kalde det skelsættende ville være en underdrivelse. Blandingen af det ydre rum, eventyr og handel viste sig at være stærkt vanedannende for en generation af spillere.
Det nyligt lancerede projekt vil byde på proceduralt skabt indhold og multiplayer-elementer, og til det formål beder udvikleren om £1,25 millioner (indtil videre har de samlet omkring £68.000).
På Kickstarter-siden fortæller Braben om sin vision for spillet:
"Elite: Dangerous is the game I have wanted Frontier to make for a very long time. The next game in the Elite series - an amazing space epic with stunning visuals, incredible gameplay and breath-taking scope, but this time you can play with your friends too."
"I want a game that feels more like the original "Elite" to fly, and with more rapid travel (to allow for the multi-player nature of the game) - so you travel quickly using local ‘hyperspace' travel rather than by fast-forwarding time - but with the rich galaxy of Frontier - and more, so much more."
