A PlayStation Vita exclusive sci-fi action RPG with an emphasis on exploration and co-operative multiplayer, Rogue Raiders Online from the one-woman team at Dangerous Alone is now on Kickstarter, seeking ?33,000 (about $36,000 USD). Some of the stretch goals include ad hoc support at ?40,000 and a PvP mode at ?50,000.
Supporting up to four players online, but also including offline and single-player modes, Rogue Raiders Online lets you create your own character and explore worlds. As the description adds, you’re an explorer more than a hero:

You’re not a knight in shining armor but rather a rogue with his own agenda. In Rogue Raiders Online, there is no galaxy to save but a rent to pay.
You start creating and customizing your own raider, choosing between several alien races and classes, each one with unique stats and traits that may dramatically affect your gameplay.
Then you will be sent to a near space station which serves as a central hub for players to find each other, purchase better equipment, sell valuables, etc.
There will be job boards, which list available quests for you or your team. After assembling a crew, you will travel to a planet to do the job.
Planets will be handmade, no procedural or random planets that end up ...
