The Escapist talks to Stardock CEO Brad Wardell about the Star Control Founders program, and shares some info on what's been going on with the development so far.
"To stay true to the original games, Stardock wanted to bring some of the former development team back together, and has been partially successful. The original designers, Paul Reiche and Fred Ford, are busy with the Skylanders franchise, but Wardell said they have helped point them to people involved with Star Control 2, including one of the main composers from the game. In addition, many members of the former Civ V team that worked on the art, terrain, character models, ship modeling, sound effects, 3D engine and systems have been brought onboard. In addition, Chris Bucholz of Cracked.com will do the writing for the game.
"We essentially created a new studio in Maryland specifically for Star Control so that we could make sure the team was led by industry veterans," Wardell said. The team will share office space with Stardock developers Mohawk Studios, led by former Civ IV lead designer Soren Johnson, and Oxide Games, the team making Stardock's upcoming RTS Ashes of the Singularity."
