This game is going to be amazing.

Dungeoncrawler · Jul 2, 2013, 10:00 PM

As it stands right now, there is no actual game in any form available?

Dark_Swordmaster · Jul 2, 2013, 10:51 PM

No. People have spent 12 MILLION dollars on promises, models, and their own speculation. I've watched discussion go from, "Wouldn't it be cool if..." to "OMG I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL I CAN DO THIS!" despite it being a pipe dream from some random post on the internet.

Still, it WOULD be cool if...

This is a big reason why I haven't pledged yet.

I'm going to, probably tomorrow after work. Likely just the starter package though. As they progress on development if it pans out to be as awesome as it sounds I'll up my support.

They way I see it, and granted it is still very early but- they don't even have a gallery up for the different ships! How many alien races are there? How many ships from each race? How many planets and solar systems will there be? I could go on-but a game of the scale that Chris is talking about is a very huge under taking and it's likely at least 3+ years out. By then, CryEngine 3 won't be so hot.

Then again we don't know how much progress they've really made. I mean, $12 million raised by the community, but how much of his own wealth has Chris thrown at this as well? How large is the team working on this?

It is extremely ambitious, yet if they pull it off at the extremely grand scale they're claiming then I can't help but believe it'll be a massive success... like the next WoW (PC-only MMO).

I'm excited, yes, but sceptical. Part of that is because I do not presently bring in a significant amount of money. So the spare I do have, I must spend wisely.

Dark_Swordmaster · Jul 2, 2013, 11:24 PM

I go the cheap $30 package but I'm going to throw $10 more and upgrade to the alpha/beta access in the coming week or so. I figure it's just $10 more to get that stuff and I'm not one of those insane people spending $3,000 on this barely proof of concept title. SA has a running tally of ~$60k they've spent by themselves.

Dungeoncrawler · Jul 3, 2013, 12:52 AM

Kickstarter has the potential to become a very easy mark for people wanting to make large sums of money, and then never come through. Reminds me of this guy asking for 400K, gets 3M, and now is asking for more money. Its such a new method, are there any laws on the books to protect the people investing? Or is everything considered a gift/donation?

Making games isnt cheap.

Congrats you know now why publishers wont invest in games and new ips that they arent certain will make them money. This is why you also get half done games that are funded by publishers, they say no more money for you and the devs need to quickly slap something together.

This is the real life.

Squadron 42 is Single Player, you just wouldn't play Star Citizen. They are 2 games with 2 different downloads.

Dwarden · Jul 5, 2013, 07:06 AM

where is my alpha ... i have the ship now

Redeemed · Jul 6, 2013, 08:32 PM

Went ahead and did the Digital Scount for now. Will probably up it later as they continue to progress.

Really like what I'm seeing- new star systems, new ships, new races... awesome to see all of the progress.

That said, I am hoping they keep a fair amount secret. Would love to be able to discover a new race, or a new system, etc. Would add so much to the experience.

El_Diablo · Jul 7, 2013, 01:12 AM

I haben't really been following the developement of the game that close, other than read the emails sent out now and then ...

Anyway, does anyone know when the alpha starts and if I need to sign up anywhere to take part in it?

( I guess I should not need it since alpha access was part of my kickstarter pledge, but one never knows ...)

v3rninater · Jul 7, 2013, 08:52 AM

I'm sure once alpha access opens up, it will explode on the news and this forum.

This sounds awesome!

And they are soon hitting 14 million in funds!

RicH(SAD) · Jul 7, 2013, 11:46 AM

I can't wait for the hangar module next month.

badboy · Jul 31, 2013, 01:11 PM

They almost have $15m funded money now

I wonder what it will be closer to release... $20-30m?

**Saggypoo** · Aug 27, 2013, 04:49 PM

Quote:

The Star Citizen Hangar Module is coming! The much anticipated and highly backed space trading and combat simulator will have content released this week exclusively for backers of the project. Developer Chris Roberts unveiled the Star Citizen Hangar Module at Gamescon this past week. The downloadable module itself will be made available on August 29.

“First and foremost, the Hangar Module you will load next week is by no means a finished product. It is the earliest build of anything I have ever shared with the public. In fact, it’s at an even earlier stage than I would feel comfortable giving to any publisher I’ve worked with in the past and long before I would be sharing builds with QA in a traditional game development schedule! But Star Citizen is all about trying new approaches in game development.”

ATI FURY-OUS · Aug 28, 2013, 10:42 AM

probably will still come out before HL3

**DaJMasta** · Aug 28, 2013, 01:38 PM

I wish, at the moment the hanger is just a glorified paperweight. A buggy one at that

will ships have more complex 'avionics' or just wing commander style system?

Yeah my hanger has a Constellation, Freelancer, and 325i...and this game is looking really good. I hope they make the gameplay easy to understand as possible so we don't have a monster learning curve to play it.

Getting super excited!!!!
