That's a heck of a quote! We're not going to talk about upcoming development anymore because too many of you were taking us seriously when we did. This is no different than how things are handled today. Our process remains the same for updating a feature’s status: cards on Release View will be listed as Tentative until they pass their final review, in which they are marked as committed upon passing. Going forward (starting after Alpha 3.18), we’ll only add cards on Release View one quarter out. We’re going to emphasize more strongly than ever that you should focus your attention on our Progress Tracker, which has been our continued goal. Even though we always added a caveat that a card could move, we feel now that it's better to just not put a deliverable on Release View until we can truly commit to it. Rather than continuing to display release projections that carry a high percentage chance of moving (those multiple quarters out), we will no longer show any deliverables in the Release View for any patches beyond the immediate one in the next quarter. And their continued noise every time we shift deliverables has become a distraction both internally at CIG and within our community, as well as to prospective Star Citizen fans watching from the sidelines at our Open Development communications. But there still remains a very loud contingent of Roadmap watchers who see projections as promises. We want to acknowledge that not all of you saw it that way many took our new focus and our words to heart and understood exactly what we tried to convey. It has become abundantly clear to us that despite our best efforts to communicate the fluidity of development, and how features marked as Tentative should sincerely not be relied upon, the general focus of many of our most passionate players has continued to lead them to interpret anything on the Release View as a promise. It put too much attention on features that had a high probability of shifting around. In hindsight, after living with this new Public Roadmap for the past 6 quarters, we’ve come to realize that this was a mistake. And in trying to preserve the legacy and maintain the precedence of the old Roadmap, we decided to still hold to a four-quarters-out Release View. Instead of removing the Release View, we opted to add new functionality, where cards could be marked as Tentatively Planned or Committed. However, at the same time, we felt that while the focus should be on development progress, we also still saw value in showing players what features and content they could look forward to down the line, and when they could get their hands on them. This comes after a decade of development, and comes after the roadmap was re-envisioned a year or two ago, with them literally putting out a roadmap.to the development of a new roadmap. It will feature the adventures of a Navy fighter pilot in a multi-chapter campaign.In a kind of amazing turn of events, Star Citizen has abandoned its public roadmap for development. Squadron 42 is a single player game, set in the Star Citizen Universe, that is being developed in parallel.

Feature updates are released in quarterly patches that expand the scope of the Persistent Universe. Over 100 extremely detailed, life size ships, allowing to pursue a variety of professions like bounty hunting, mining, cargo hauling and of course, engaging in space combat. The developers behind the game, Cloud Imperium Games, are developing ground breaking technologies to create a highly immersive game universe, known as the Persistent Universe.Ĭurrently the Persistent Universe consists of the Stanton system, which is made up of 4 planets and their moons and stations.

All star systems can also be explored on the ARK Starmap, a three dimensional map with all star systems. The game is a highly ambitious project with the aim of featuring more then 100, fully explorable, individual, star systems complete with planets, moons, space stations and other stellar objects. Star Citizen is an in-development futuristic first person space simulation set in the 30th century.
