Sure, its airlocks are virtually right next to the pilot's seat, but having to turn around to access them means that escaping from a stricken Aurora is still a touch slower than being simply rocketed out of a stricken other-ship. in an universe where damned-near every ship that mounts a quantum drive has one.

On October 17, 2013, the project achieved its full crowdfunding goal of $23 million (the gap between million-dollar milestones was sometimes as short as four days), and has long since become the highest grossing crowdfunding project of all time and despite the delays, it still receives several million dollars a month in new funding.

Written by Ben Barrett on behalf of GLHF.Star Citizen is an upcoming MMO space Simulation Game developed by Chris Roberts' company Cloud Imperium Games, and a Spiritual Successor to his earlier titles Wing Commander and Starlancer/ Freelancer.Ĭhris Roberts took about ten years off after Freelancer to make movies with mixed success (such as Lord of War), and in 2012 he came back to pitch a space simulator with vast quantities of Scenery Porn, combining the single player game title Squadron 42, and an online MMO style multiplayer called the Persistent Universe.ĭue to a lack of major publisher interest, he turned to crowdsourcing the funding through his website at.

Star Citizen is due out when it’s finished. Here’s the slightly odd trailer/marketing movie.

In addition to the free play, this Invictus Week 2952, as it’s known, will feature new ships and a bunch of in-universe events. And if you just want to pre-order the single-player portion, you can do that, and progress is being made. It might have thousand-dollar packages, but nobody says you have to buy it. Development may be long but updates are regular.

No, Chris, no they would not.īut hey, a lot of the funding dramas are in the past, and if people willingly want to spend the money, they can. Neither is Roberts’ claim that no publisher or developer would make this game. Given it is now likely the most expensive game of all time, and has an overall player count lower than games like Fall Guys and Vampire Survivors, that’s not especially surprising.

Roberts also makes mention of the fact that, nine years ago, the game in development was vastly different from what it is today. In the semi-regular Letter from the Chairman segment from CEO and game director Chris Roberts last week, it was announced that the game has peaked past 2 million unique players. Of course, if you can figure out the secret art of paying for Star Citizen, you can play past that, if you like. The free access period starts 9am Pacific today and runs until around 5pm Pacific May 31. You can “explore the ‘verse” in one of 66 vehicles, presumably wander around on foot, and based on the subreddit, do stuff like fall for 20 solid minutes to your death from the new cloud city, Orison. This week you get to see what that all looks like in motion, as the latest alpha build – 3.17 – is free to play for all, with full access to what seems to be a fairly varied, if fundamentally unfinished, game. Almost a decade of spacesim development has gone from ‘cool classic genre revival’ to ‘$460 million of crowdfunding money has gone into this gargantuan and we don’t know what’s going on any more.’ Which is part cool, part horrifying.
