Love in Space released the second part of the Sunrider trilogy (http://sunrider-vn.com/) this week to non-Steam users (the Steam release was last week). Sunrider is a space opera, anime-style, visual novel built with the Ren'Py (http://renpy.org/) open source visual novel engine. It is funded by a very successful Kickstarter campaign that brought in over $44,000 (their goal was $3,000). You can get the game on Steam or you can download it using BitTorrent (http://sunrider-vn.com/2014/10/09/sunrider-mask-of-arcadius-torrent/). The downloads contain both the first and second part of the trilogy.
