Star Citizen Squadron 42 Delayed [Oct 10, 2016, 10:10 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:
S42 Primary Tech Hurdles
Content
Most of our base technology is now complete
Still in Progress:
Subsumption

- Taking one chapter to final ship quality - flushes out any technical, integration and polish issues.
- Building Technology & Systems for the long term and the whole SC universe - no short cuts!
do you have evidence they don't have the money? because no one else seems too, on the contrary ... I mean if you have insider information that shows CIG is lacking the funds to finish, please share, im sure the others would love to see
you like the others are basing your funds information on other games development history, but there has never been a game developed like this or funded like this (and there probably never will be again), and they continue to bring in the funds monthly/daily. if they stopped taking in money on the day the KS campaign ended and we are still awaiting 4 years later on something, i would say .. hell ya they don't have the funds .. but money still flows into their coffers as we speak. If CR came out with a desperate plea for funds to say they need more to finish then sure fears confirmed ... but they don't ever say anything about lacking funds ... if they were closing up studios to save money then sure , but they are always expanding .. so again on the contrary
/sigh
edit ... I know some of you think CR is the dumbest developer out there, but you don't continue to hire people at a good pay rate if you're running out of money , and you don't continue to hire people and build out technology to cover up some grand scale con scram ... a scam artist doesn't continue to spend his earnings from a con on the con, he would have just walked away years ago ...
