New Star Citizen Video Shows a Year of Development as Crowdfunding Passes $338 Million

Cloud Imperium Games released a new video of its growing space simulator Star Citizen.

Following a look at the refinery deck introduced in the recently-released version Alpha 3.12, the video showcases a deep dive into the development of the game through 2020, including most of the major features that were added during the latest year.

A lot of progress was certainly made on quite a few fronts, as you can see below.

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total just passed $338 million, and it’s currently at $338,060,337

The number of registered accounts has also recently passed 2.9 million and it’s currently at 2,921,783.

As usual, you should keep in mind that it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including Free Fly events like the one held at the beginning of the month.

If you want to learn more, we recently got a sizable update on the progress of the single-player campaign Squadron 42 and a really lovely cinematic trailer. On top of that, we recently heard that a new studio has been opened to create new systems and content for Star Citizen.

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.
