New Kickstarter for a cool looking game: Starship Simulator (www.kickstarter.com)

Explore a 1:1 scale Milky Way in a meticulously designed Starship alone or with friends. Try the tech demo on Steam, run through the cold and dark startup tutorial then find cool things in space. It's already a lot of fun in its barebones state.

Their Kickstarter page says they're a husband and wife team (plus some help from freelancers and AI), so the latter outcome seems more likely than the former. They do intend to distribute the game for free, which... can work to avoid getting sued, but then there's all the money from the Kickstarter campaign.

I think it's a really cool project, and it's definitely the kind of thing I'd be interested in playing, but I would definitely hesitate to invest in the Kickstarer when a lawsuit seems pretty inevitable.
