Improved Starlight Inception trailer, still needs your cash

Escape Hatch has put up an improved teaser trailer for its Vita (and PC) space combat title, Starlight Inception. It might look a bit Babylon 5, but crank it up to the full 1080p resolution and enjoy the improved visuals.



The Kickstarter campaign is approaching 1,000 contributors, but stilled needs $120,000 to get full funding, just $15 will get you a copy of the game on completion, with plenty of other goodies for higher rollers. The developers have also announced they've got David Arkenstone (of World of Warcraft Cataclysm fame and a triple nominated Grammy award recipient) to do the music for the game.
