The mod is called <a  title=\"Ur-Quan Masters HD\" href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/urquanmastershd\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ur-Quan Masters HD<\/a> and it uses the Ur-Quan Masters engine 0.7.0 build extended with improved graphics.<\/p>\n<p>The Star Control 2 trademark is propriety of Atari. The <a  title=\"Star Control 2\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Star_Control_II\" target=\"_blank\">original Star Control 2<\/a> was designed by\u00a0Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III in 1992. In 2002 the devs released the game as open source to a community of fans, which started working on it to port it for today&#8217;s computers. That&#8217;s how the\u00a0<a  href=\"http:\/\/sc2.sourceforge.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ur-Quan Masters<\/a>\u00a0project came to life, and in this specific case Ur-Quan Masters HD, a branch of that project.<\/p>\n<p>Ur-Quan Masters HD is still an alpha version but it&#8217;s already playable and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux (debian) for free. Yes, free stuff! :) If has no DRM and you don&#8217;t need any other package to play than the one found <a  href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/urquanmastershd\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. The devs expect to port the game also to Android. If you want, you can also play the game with the classic artwork. Boy, was I shocked when I find out that mouse input is not supported ;)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2PUsLMSLam0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damon Czanik and his team have completed an HD conversion of the acclaimed space adventure game  Star Control 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[70,533,74],"tags":[1193,1113,18,817,278,117,965,971,1191,1192],"class_list":["post-8409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games-under-development","category-mods","category-announcements-and-rumors","tag-damon-czanik","tag-drm-free","tag-free","tag-linux","tag-mac","tag-pc-game","tag-remake","tag-star-control-2","tag-ur-quan-masters","tag-ur-quan-masters-hd"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
