The crowdfunding campaign for Star Citizen recently enjoyed its biggest day ever, with the game's backers adding almost $3.5 million in 24 hours to the mind-boggling $644 million total.
With the big push to release 4.0 and Squadron 42 reaching its Feature Complete milestone, our resources have had to shift around as new needs arise at an increased frequency than in the past. This created a significant challenge in maintaining the Progress Tracker. The team is working to push Squadron 42 toward the finish line while balancing this with ensuring Star Citizen receives new features, content, and updates. At this stage of development, especially with such a big focus on Squadron 42 polish, developers or even entire teams may need to shift focus quickly when necessary work presents itself. This dynamic approach is different from our usual internal flow and has required a bit more flexibility and nimble nature
This just an update about a Roadmap Update that's not ready yet, but soon.
Classic Star Citizen!
The actors who starred in this will probably never see their own work. Something to think about.
They already did see more than us because they worked very close with studio on the game and on every scene etc.. and they have seen the last Gameplay footage and other Trailers.
most actors don't even watch their own movies
others don't even play the games they were in
there are more than
20 actors who have admitted to not watching their own movies
Dakota Johnson. Joaquin Phoenix...Javier Bardem. ..Johnny Depp... Helena Bonham Carter.. Maggie Smith. .Megan Fox. Reese Witherspoon...
What are you going on about? You missed the whole point of his comment. Jingsing meant that the actors will probably never see their work released commercially in a finished and completed form. The game is in perpetual development and the developers have no intention of finishing it as long as they keep getting money from people. Mark Hamill will most likely be dead before this game is finished and released commercially.
So many angry people in the comments LoL! 🤣
acting like they paid anything for the game smh.
You don't have to be scammed personally to recognize and be annoyed at a scammer. I've never been scammed by a Nigerian Prince but the people who run that scam still suck.
Didn't see the last big gameplay reveal of Squadron 42? Looks awesome and since it's feature complete a release late 2025 doesn't seem too unrealistic.
If this hadn't been revealed prematurely, people would have lost their minds.
@PrinceOfAnger
People are angry because this "game" was promised to be released 10 years ago at least (almost 12 if you're counting original Kickstarter promises), in 2014, it's 2024 right now and it's nowhere in sight. And this "roadmap" update just says «we don’t have a Release View update today». They can't even update their own progress tracker («This created a significant challenge in maintaining the Progress Tracker»), promising to do this at least from november 2023. And now they're thinking about starting anew and archiving the old progress tracker (post #7038930 by JakeAcappella-CIG).
I don't know how about you, but to me this screams mismanagement and misallocation of resources, deadlines aren't being met and no one takes any responsibility for it. I would gladly pay for the offline singleplayer game, yet it's a joke at this point, they keep saying "It's almost feature complete, we're polishing" for 7+ months at least.
For G-d's sake, see the reactions and read through the comments in the source link, people are getting annoyed and fed up. And they have paid money for this.
Tbf, it is also an absurdly ambitious project. Star Citizen in itself is absurd. But what they are doing with Squadron also seems to be a lot more than what you would get in a regular AAA game. You have fully realized space flight and fps combat in the same game.
Could potentially be super janky and bad in a myriad of ways, but I fail to see how the scope of what they have shown us isn't impressive. I used to be sceptical, but I also really want to play something like Squadron and I think what they have shown us looks pretty fantastic.

First, you submit this article and then you complain about people hating on it. What did you expect considering the game was supposed to release 10 years ago and keeps leeching hundreds of millions of dollars from people but is nowhere close to being finished?
But Squadron is pretty close to being finished? Star Citizen isn't, but atleast it's very much playable and available to fuck around in.
The Star Citizen developer dismissed a disabled worker who sought to continue working remotely following the pandemic.
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?
Elite, this game once complete will hook lot of people with VR and so on. I truly believe this game will get ppl hook and never leave their room
I get initially backing this....but who is still giving these guys money?
the elite, tthis game is the future for VR and it will full set. ELITE
No one gives money like that,
If Starfield had this budget, Bethesda would have spent it all on a live action trailer and some cheap plastic trinkets to sell.
With all the crowdfunding and development that’s went into this game it should be a 10/10.
Goes to prove just how many suckers are out there that are easily seperated from their money. Imagine funding a game that is designed to never ever leave beta lol
This is why Gacha games are hugely successful, fools outnumber us all.
Scam Citizen will reach 1 Trillion in funding over time im sure.
one day the grandkids of all the backers will be able to enjoy the full, released game.
Hope they release the single player in 2025 or before.
