Comment on Star Citizen Just Had its Biggest Crowdfunding Day Ever With $3.5 Million in 24 Hours

I honestly feel like they should just release Squadron 42 now and then do Star Citizen. Let us have the ships and combat in an Ace Combat style game just in case Star Citizen never release.

That’s the plan. They started with star citizen being the focus and then 2 years ago they pulled most of the staff to finish SQ42. Now that they’re in the “polishing phase” for sq42 they have started pulling people back to work on star citizen. Next year is going to be big for star citizen, very very important core tech being implemented and a deluge of content should come with the reallocation of workers to star citizen.
Source: I’m literally obsessed with star citizen/sq42 and know too much about it, send help. (My wallet is ok lol)

Ah yes next year will be amazing for Star Citizen. I wonder when it will finally come…

Honestly, I don’t see star citizen being “complete” for another 5-6 years lol next year will be awesome though if they can get server meshing implemented so they can try to nail down server performance. Right now it’s atrocious lol

So apparently “feature complete” comes before alpha and beta for Chris Roberts. If Star Citizen is in “early alpha” now, and SQ42 is “feature complete”, doesn’t that mean SQ42 is actually behind Star Citizen in terms of progress?
Is that why they are moving all the devs back over to the main game?

… That is how it works? You aren’t in beta until you’re feature and content complete, that’s the final stage for any game. Alpha is mostly content complete, but pretty much always feature complete.
The people who bastardized the usage of those words are the steam early access devs that call a game with 1 feature completed and almost no content an EA beta.

Is it the early access games, or is it just Chris Roberts’ history of being deceptive?
I mean, if SQ42 is truly close to being released, if it requires a last push, shouldn’t all employees be working on the project? Why would you suddenly move everybody off of a project that’s allegedly close to release?

Fingers Crossed.
I backed back on kickstarter, and still wanna play it.
