Cloud Imperium Games released a new and interesting video showcasing upcoming content for its growing space simulator Star Citizen.

Recommended Videos

The first part of the video features innovations being rolled out for the lighting system included in the game, which will (among other things) let artificial lights react dynamically to the time of day. 

That’s a pretty relevant and advanced change when your environments are on the surface of planets actually orbiting around suns and spinning on their own axis.

The rest of the video showcase more upcoming content including concept art for characters, a new mission giver, gas clouds, hangars, and improvements made to planetary tech.

You can check it out below.

Incidentally, Star Citizen news is a crowdfunded game and the crowdfunding total just passed $281 million.

To be more precise, it’s sitting on $2281,168,667 at the moment of this writing. The number of registered accounts has also been updated ato 2,590,849.

As usual, it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons.

If you want to learn more about Star Citizen, you can take a look at the latest update released a little while ago, Alpha 3.9.

For the sake of full disclosure, the author of this article has been a Star Citizen backer since the original Kickstarter campaign several years ago, so you should keep that in mind while reading this article.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
