A new Kickstarter looks to raise at least $250,000 to develop Starfighter Inc., a multiplayer space combat gamer from Impeller Studios, a new developer boasting veterans of the X-Wing series and the MechWarrior franchise as well as the producer from Homefront. Here's a bit on their vision:

Starfighter Inc. pits teams of mercenary pilots against each other in online battles featuring single-seat interceptors, multi-seat gunships, and massive capital ships. Players customize almost every aspect of their ship, from flight characteristics to weapon configurations to visual aesthetics. As multiplayer matches are won and lost, individual and team decisions affect the overall game universe, blending emergent gameplay with hard-science futurism to create a community-driven storytelling experience.

“For us, fun is just the starting point,” said Creative Director Jack Mamais. “We want to bring hard science, unprecedented immersion, and realism that blends with great gameplay to create a truly never-before-seen experience.”

Staffed by developers from the Desert Combat, Halo, and Battlefield series, the studio has been in stealth mode on the title since 2013. A virtual studio with 15 team members spread across 7 time zones, Impeller is focused on bringing landmark competitive multiplayer to virtual reality platforms.
