Oh damn, I didn't know this is in Kickstarter. I thought they made some money from the first game

We did make some money from the first game, but keep in mind we started FROM SCRATCH (after having been fired from our previous studio and having our IP ripped from up in court), literally starting with nothing but the money in our pockets.

That kickstarter helped us fund EVERSPACE, and the commercial success it has been gave us the ability to push this larger vision of EVERSPACE 2. Still, we want to do even more, so we created a second Kickstarter and are utilizing the very powerful community-centric feedback from the alpha/beta/early access to help you guys realize our goal as well.

Are you allowed to mention the IP that you lost in court?

Galaxy on Fire; we were the creators of 1 and 2.

Did Everspace begin as a licensed IP?

Also, do sales of the first game still support you as a studio? I only just bought it last week but I'm really enjoying the game

Everspace is an original IP created by Rockfish Games.

And yes, sales of the first game still support us; we are our own publisher!
