Eleven years ago, Wing Commander<\/em> designer Chris Roberts announced <\/a>Star Citizen, <\/em>an online multiplayer game that he said would “change the way people perceive games for the PC.” Roberts told Ars’ Kyle Orland soon after<\/a> that he didn’t enjoy the four-year development of another hit, Freelancer<\/em>, because “spending that many years disconnected from your audience, sort of working off by yourself, wasn’t creatively fun for me.” With Star Citizen<\/em>, Roberts said he could keep development from dragging on by engaging fans and using a pre-built engine, as opposed to what Roberts said would be “two years” building his own.<\/p>\n

Roberts has definitely engaged his audience in Star Citizen<\/em>, to the tune of $616 million raised<\/a> from more than 4.8 million “Star Citizens.” It has just taken a bit longer than two years to give them a true release.<\/p>\n

Roughly 11 years after Star Citizen<\/em>‘s initial announcement that included it, then nine years after its first potential release date, Squadron 42, <\/em>the single-player campaign, is now “feature complete” and has “entered its polish phase.” Roberts announced<\/a> this in a video released Sunday<\/a>\u00a0as part of an annual CitizenCon for backers, along with footage from the game and details on its development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
