Yay, the Pkunk are back!
Lots of fond memories here. The music! And the personalities of all the aliens. Frungy, happy campers, the Spathi B.U.T.T.
Star control 3 was garbage that was star control in name only.
Star control: Origins was made by assholes at Paradox Entertainment that tired to steal the IP from the original creators. The game was basically a pretty soulless carbon copy of star control 2 without the witty dialogue or creative story telling of the original.
Neither of these "prequel/sequels" were made by the original creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III.
That's why this Kickstarter is fire AF. The OG creators have full control here and are making it with the original vision that made sc2 great!:

They even released the original Star control 2 for free on steam in preparation:

Granted it doesn't have the "Star Control" name due to aforementioned IP trolls at Paradox Entertainment but everything else is the same otherwise! :>
