Help Fund Strike Fighters 2 Windows 10 update!
Strike Fighters 2 is a series of popular PC games we released
back in 2008 (over 11 years ago!). It was a unique series of
inter-connected light/casual flight simulation games set in the Cold
War. Despite its age, it's still being enjoyed by many users, thanks
largely to its huge and active mod community.
The games were originally designed on (then brand new) Windows
Vista, but over the years, new Windows versions have came and gone
(Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and finally 10), the hardware has evolved at
dizzying speed, and internet security and privacy have become major
concerns. With all these changes, some people are reporting issues
running our old games on newer machines.
We'd love to be able to update the series to the latest Windows
and Direct X version. But we're a very small independent company
with very limited resources, and we do not currently have the funds
to do this. And this is where you can help!
$25,000 USD is the minimum we need to cover the cost of
development and testing. At this level funding, the update will
simply be Windows 10/DirectX 12 update with no other fixes,
enhancement or improvement.
Of course, any funding we get above and beyond the $25K amount
would be used to further enhance and improve the series. Our users
have asked for Oculus VR support, air-to-air refueling, and many
other features. These all cost time and money, a lot of it
unfortunately, so they'll need to be prioritized. We'll put the
decisions about which additional features to work on to vote among
the contributors. So by funding this and becoming a contributor,
you're not only helping us with the funding, you'll also have a say
in which direction to go with the update.
We estimate it'll take 2 months of development and testing for
the update to be completed. So if we can get started by
mid-September, we should be able to release the basic update by this
November before Thanksgiving. (Any features from additional
contributions will of course take longer)
We'd like to thank our fantastic community, especially the mods
community who continue to put out amazing work to improve our games
for everyone. We couldn't do this without the community support.
Thank you!
