Gamelook/January 23 News "Star Citizen" creator Chris Roberts (Chris Roberts) said today that his space game has now been funded by 70 million of billions of dollars, and he expects The game will be funded by 100 million of billions of dollars before it is publicly released.

After 3 years of research and development, the current "star Citizens" team has reached hundreds of people, distributed in a number of different studios, and most importantly, the game through the public to get more money than any game.

"Our current funding level is close to $70 million trillion, and by the time the game is about to be released, the amount of funding is likely to exceed 100 million dollars," he said in an interview. But the public is not for the money, indeed, there is so much money is very good, you can use it to do a lot of things, but what I really value is to create a loyal community for the game through the public, so that they can share your creative game experience. ”

Since last August, in just 4 months, star Citizen has raised nearly 20 million dollars (plus $50 million previously raised, which is now nearly 70 million dollars). While announcing the news, Roberts also spoke about the time of the final full release of the Star Citizen, which, of course, is more complicated than it sounds. Because "Star Citizen" is actually divided into 6 interrelated parts, but has already released only two parts: can let the player watch the hangar of their craft and allow the player to fly the Battle arena commander.

According to Roberts, "star Citizen" supporters will have a more stable new experience, in the spring of 2015 will release the MMO part planetside, then will be released in the autumn of 2015 the single player activity Part Squadron 42, and the full version of the game will not be available after 2016 years.
