My goal with the visual effects is to use a lot the techniques and looks used in film work, which are now possible with DX11 and modern day PCs.īut the point of the video isn’t to show the VFX or damage systems, which still have a ways to go but to demo some of the early AI work that’s been happening in the background. The laser effects, explosions are all placeholders and there will be significant work done here, as well as some very cool shield effects I have cooking up in the background. This video isn't as polished as I would normally put out so please be nice as we’re 24 months away from anything that would be called final, and even 12 months away from just a multiplayer alpha dogfighting build. So you understand what we're seeing and what Roberts is attempting to highlight, here's his message accompanying the video: They're so happy in fact, that they're sharing in-game footage. See the update and the updated goal in the video up top. It's therefore rather safe to say that the dev team (and investors) are happy. With six days left, at the time of this writing, the Star Citizen Kickstarter sits at neatly $1.2 million and when added to their own site's success, RSI has accumulated over $3.4 million from eager fans. At the beginning, Roberts had crowd funding setup through their own site but due to popular demand, opened up a Kickstarter page with the goal of raising $500,000 their as well. Their goal was to raise $2 million in total to showcase to investors that there is a fanbase waiting for a next-gen game along the lines of Freelancer. Star Citizen isn't expected to release until November 2014 but the very first gameplay footage is already available for viewing thanks to the positive reception of the plan for the title.
His goal of returning the space sim genre back to its '90s glory is an ambitious one, matched only by what he and the the team at Cloud Imperium Games Corporation are attempting to do with game and its next-gen visuals.
With the Star Citizen Kickstarter more than doubling its goal, Chris Roberts' return to video game development is off to an impressive and exciting start.
