Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released more videos of its upcoming space simulator, which passed another crowdfunding milestone.

Recommended Videos

The first video showcases the Actor Status System, which introduces survival elements in the game. On top of that, we also get to hear about the quarterly go/no go meetings, which determine if a feature or content is ready for prime time.

The second video showcases the tools behind Planet Tech v4, showing how developers can pretty much “paint” planets to create their environments and biomes.

Last, but not least, we get to see the trailer of the Anvil Carrack, which has now been released as playable in the game. 

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total has passed $270 million today.

To be more precise, it’s at $270,374,389 at the moment of this writing, with 2,535,108 registered accounts. 

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 read our latest interview focusing on the Cutlass Red and medical gameplay. You can also take a look at a recent trailer for the game’s single-player component, Squadron 42, which was released on Christmas.

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.
