Cloud Imperium Games founder and Star Citizen boss Chris Roberts has posted one of his extensive “letters from the Chairman” providing insight on the development of the crowdfunded game.
Cloud Imperium Games' sci-fi space sim and RPG Star Citizen has passed another major crowdfunding milestone: $700 million. The latest $100 million has been raised in less than a year as well.
3 more years and we'll probably see it reach the billion mark. Question is, will it be fully released by then?
I am curious to see what will they show this year on october.. a new gameplay trailer or maybe a release date?
I get initially backing this....but who is still giving these guys money?
Star Citizen is hosting a massive free-fly event, offering everyone access to its sci-fi universe as well as almost all its ships and vehicles. The free-to-play promotion lasts for 12 days.
Wait !! What ? No news of STAR Citizen surpassing the Billion dollars funding? This feels like the same as the Malboro guys offering free smokes at a kindergarten garden. I pass and wake me up when this is actually released and has a price for purchase, if reviews scores are 10 or above I might buy... I might.
Cloud Imperium has released the Star Citizen Alpha 3.23 Update which adds support for the Vulkan API, as well as NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR.
Wow awesome amazing, gonna go try it right now. I bet the improvements are amazing..... /s
"It is better to treat Squadron 42 like a beautifully wrapped present under the tree that you are excited to open on Christmas Day, not knowing exactly what is inside, other than that it’s going to be great.
Because of this I have decided that it is best to not show Squadron 42 gameplay publicly, nor discuss any release date until we are closer to the home stretch and have high confidence in the remaining time needed to finish the game to the quality we want."
"We’re Making Steady Strides in Progress
Many backers who’ve taken breaks and come back to the game marvel at how much it has progressed, especially since last summer. With each successive patch, from 3.5 to 3.6 to 3.7 and into this year"

At least the game continues to receive fan feedback and acknowledge quality over a deadline.
in the wake of cyberpunk which ignored much of this. and as a result hardly anyone was able to playtest cyberpunk behind closed doors for years. a much needed component for the process of building solid gameplay.
"I have decided that it is best to not show Squadron 42 gameplay publicly,"
Hmm seems like we've seen this type of thing recently. The law suits on this one are going to be EPIC!
star citizen is divided into two projects. Online Game and a single player game. both sharing the same galaxy.
The Online game star citizen will be shown publicly and will receive updates every 3 months.
and have content updates regularly. like most online games.
Chris Roberts -" In the meantime, Star Citizen is the best visibility into the gameplay and technical progress we make; you can download a new update every three months with new features and content, as well as advances in tech."
The single player game Squadron 42 will have a launch date when backers are pleased with the quality of it.
until then backers get exclusive viewings of it.
- Chris Roberts - "Squadron 42 will be done when it is done, and will not be released just to make a date, but instead only when all the technology and content is finished, the game is polished, and it plays great."
"We will continue with our monthly reports for Squadron 42, and we will also share our current development progress in our New Roadmap. "
Squadron 42 is said to have a "narrative experience that will rival the biggest sci-fi event films. " - Chris Roberts
Remember when crusader was coming this year, we even hoped pyros was coming
Biggest development scam in gaming history.
This game will never come out and even if it does come out it will already look dated to other newer games.
