Star Citizen is a multiplayer space trading as well as fight simulation game that is in advancement. The game is being created and released by Cloud Imperial Games for Microsoft Windows. A spiritual successor to 2003's Consultant, Star Citizen is being led by director Chris Roberts. The game was introduced on October 18, 2012, with a successful Kickstarter project which reeled in over US$ 2 million. Pre-production of the game started in 2010, with production starting in 2011. Star Citizen has actually become very criticized throughout its long production procedure, both for the fact that there is still no clear launch date and for the difficulties backers who have actually abandoned the project have actually encountered in receiving a refund. The launch of the game was originally anticipated for 2014, however was repeatedly delayed. In 2013, Cloud Imperial Gaming began releasing parts of the game, called modules, to provide players with the opportunity to experience gameplay attributes prior to launch. The most recent of these modules, referred to as the Relentless Universe, was provided for evaluating to pre-purchasers in 2015 as well as remains to receive updates. No projected date for the commercial release of Star Citizen is presently provided. After the preliminary Kickstarter finished, Cloud Imperial Gaming continued to increase funds with the sale of ships and also various other in-game content, and also is now noted for being the greatest crowdfunded video game and also among the highest-funded crowdfunding projects overall, having actually increased over US$ 400 million since November 2021. Such approaches of generating crowdfunded earnings have nevertheless led to criticisms as well as legal issues bordering the job. Along with crowdfunding, marketing is currently also funded with exterior investment, having actually gotten US$ 63.25 million since March 2020. Armada 42, a single-player game embedded in the same universe, was initially announced in the Kickstarter as a consisted of project in Star Citizen, but is currently meant to be a standalone item. The player personality's efficiency in Squadron 42 will supposedly have an effect on their career in Star Citizen.
The Space Game Star Citizen has collected more than $400 million since the start of the crowdfunding campaign, since we have even arrived at almost $420 million. This shows that people believe in the vision of Chris Roberts and his team and that, although there are no signs of a speedy release to this day, let alone a fixed date for this.
How does the rapid growth come from?
Just 18 months ago, Star Citizen has cracked the 300 million dollar brand. Now the game has managed to collect $20 million in a few weeks. What are possible reasons for this?
After crowdfunding has reached its low in July of this year, the revenue has since risen then. Alone in the last week, $11,526,084 of US dollars have been added.
The timeline clearly shows a correlation between the release of updates and the increase of money. With the publication of the new Alpha 3.15 on 10.11. The revenue has increased rapidly. This circumstance was further favored by the ability to try the game between 19 November and December 1 for free.
The latest update has already received especially much praise from the community and the next update, the Alpha 3.16, should appear before the new year.
From KW 44 to 47, so after the release of Alpha 3.15, the weekly yield for the developers of Cloud Empire has simply twisted more than.
A further reason for the increase could be that Star Citizen may also benefit from the large flops of competition, such as the bug-solid Battlefield 2042 or the highest embarrassment Grand Theft Auto Trilogy. Many players are frustrated and looking for a game for holidays. Since the space adventure comes as called.
In this overview, you will receive a summary about the state of the game.
Where is Star Citizen just?
We have the last time with the big update of the Alpha 3.14 the game took a closer look at. The long-term plan of Roberts is still the construction of a huge universe. In Roberts Universe you should be able to land on stations, moons and even planets, all there are already in similar games like Elite Dangerous. Currently, however, only the persistent universe exists in Star Citizen, this condition should come closest to the finished game.
The only planetary system currently available is Stanton. This represents a kind of pattern for the rest of the universe and should give an insight that the finished game should look like. Update 3.14 is a milestone, after all, the last planet a gas giant — made into the game. Thus, there are currently four planets and twelve moons in the game. That has nothing to do with a huge universe.
In addition, the update new Gameplay mechanics brought into play. This includes, for example, a revised power management system, which allows you to put more energy into the debt, weapons or on the drive depending on the situation. In addition, the rocket control was improved, so you can now control your arsenal even more precisely.
Furthermore, the ship model Constellation Taurus was revised, and all ships received a new interface. Further small and large improvements can be found in our special.
Since that has passed a little time and meanwhile already Alpha 3.15 appeared. Further updates should follow at the beginning of next year.
What about Squadron 42?
Squadron 42 should be the single player campaign from Star Citizen. Robert's vision is the creation of a campaign that sets new standards. For this, world-famous actors like Mark Hamill, known from his role as Luke Skywalker, were brought to the boat. On your website, the developers of Cloud Imperial write the following:
Since Squadron 42 is in active development, you have the unique way to pursue the process with the team. Get regular status updates [...]
This statement is almost laughing, considering that the last update to the campaign is almost three years ago. This is probably due, among other things, that the developers already announced last year that they will not show any other gameplay until shortly before the release. There are no official indications when it will finally be so far.
We will continue to keep you up to date on what the development of Star Citizen is concerned. What do you think of Star Citizen? Are you supporters of the crowdfunding campaign?
