As the development project has continued for more than 10 years since it was announced in 2012, the crowdfunding amount for Star Citizen, a multiplayer game that is also evaluated as Sagrada Familia in the game world, is said to have reached $500 million.
Star Citizen is a game released in 2012 that is a space trading and battle simulation. When the project started on Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site in October of the same year, it initially set a goal of raising $2.1 million in funding. The game, which started with the goal of creating the largest space exploration game ever, recorded the highest total funding amount during the 10-year development period. According to a 2017 article on the progress of Star Citizen, the amount of funding had already reached 150 million dollars at this point, which was the highest amount in game crowdfunding history, significantly exceeding the $6.7 million raised by Shen Mu 3.
Since then, Star Citizen has continued to raise funds, and the amount of funding posted on the official website is currently $5052,655. The number of contributors reached 4,0251. As the procurement amount reached $400 million in November 2021, it raised $100 million in just 10 months.
However, the game development is not going as smoothly as the funding. Reportedly, the novelty of graphics and spacecraft modeling for Star Citizen, which was released in the alpha version, faded over time, causing many players who supported Star Citizen to become disillusioned, and even during the 10-year development period, the system, the core of gameplay, was lost. There are also complaints that it is disappearing. Bugs and inconveniences are also frequent, so it is not uncommon for NPCs to stop moving or behave strangely, and for a spaceship to crash suddenly.
In addition, Star Citizen also has Squadron 42, a sister work that shares the world view, but it is said that this has not been seen at all since 2014. The release of Squadron 42 is expected to take several years.
More than 4 million fans await completion, but it is unclear when the official release of Star Citizen will be. The roadmap posted on the official site is scheduled until July 2023, so there is a possibility that the release will be later. According to the Star Citizen Wiki, if you want to play the alpha version of Star Citizen, you’ll need to purchase the $49.5 Starter Package, including VAT. In addition, Free Fly events are held several times each year, and an event to enjoy free of charge until September 15, 2022 was recently held. Related content this placecan be checked in
