The grandfather of the Sci-Fi RPG genre is without question Starflight, create by HumaNature. HumaNature launched a Fig campaign for 800k USD, which would allow them to hit their scheduled Q4 2020 launch for Starflight 3: Universe. The link for the Fig Campaign can be found here, where people can be rewarded or invest in Starflight Fig Game Shares that pay a return based on the sales of the game. Starflight 3 is the next chapter in the Staflight universe. It is a sci-fi single-player, sandbox role-playing game that focuses on exploration, diplomacy, resource gathering, and combat. Players will have solar systems with tons of planets to discover and explore, mine for necessary resources, catalog new creatures, trade and use diplomacy with locals, all while saving the universe. Starflight 3 is a true free-form experience. New and previous races, uncharted solar systems, and never-before-seen planets are all waiting in the next iteration of the classic franchise.

Trip Hawkins, Founder of EA: “Starflight was space-breaking as it pioneered the Sci Fi RPG category. It blended what I love about Asimov’s books and the way Star Trek and other shows leverage the diversity of crews, in a potent story of human courage and epiphanies.”
