For those of you who know me well, you'll know I've always had a soft spot for the science fiction video game VGA Planets. In fact, I've been a player for nearly 20 years and so has my Dad. As a software developer I've often thought about making a new version of the game as the game gets older and older and the technology more outdated. A few weeks ago I contacted Tim Wisseman the original creator of the game and asked him what he thought about a web-based remake. He thought it was a great idea and has pledged his full support. So, we have launched a fundraiser in the hopes of raising enough money to get us started on the project. The fundraiser is taking place at Kickstarter and we would love your support!
