Freshman developer Sprial Game Studios emerge on to the digital download scene with footage from ORION: Prelude. The game was born as a Half-Life 2 modification, but after a Kickstarter event the team was able to procure over 18,000 US dollars in donations, allowing them to take it from mod to stand-alone title.
