Star Citizen Squadron 42 Delayed [Oct 10, 2016, 09:10 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Squadron 42 campaign for Star Citizen is delayed until 2017,
reports Kotaku UK, saying the news was revealed during a livestream from
CitizenCon. The first chapter of the single-player side of the space simulator
was most recently supposed to come to backers this year, but this news confirms
rumors of a delay that surfaced
last month. On the bright
side,
Eurogamer notes that Cloud Imperium Games released a new video showing off
how planets will be procedurally generated in the game, along with other
tidbits, including a sandworm, though they don't specify whether this is showing
us Beetleguise or Dune. Back to the delay, the Kotaku UK story offers two
slides with details on the state of the project, and here is what those say:

One thing I will say is that spending all that money on building a community and being in constant communication is a smart move. It really keeps a lot of people from getting fed up at the long timelines.
you also have to remember, the money they spend on thier community, the youTube shows, the backer round tables, the Cons ... that is all taking out of a different money pool which is a monthly recurring funding, it's not apart of the development funding (that 129million you see on the funding site).

The question is, will they have enough funds to finish it? I've been amazed at their ability to pull in cash, but their progress has been slowww, and that money is going to dry up at some point.
well we know how much they've raised, we don't know how much they've spent. For all we know they could still be sitting on 50mill for the rest of the development or on the flip side they could be sitting on 20bucks ...
