Oh my god it really was an AMA with a single question picked :dead

https://massivelyop.com/2020/09/21/star-citizens-chris-roberts-says-the-games-economy-simulation-tech-is-still-a-ways-off/

Quote
10 minus 9 for the Chairman

Star Citizen’s Chris Roberts, bleary-eyed and exhausted from the self-reported “running a company of 630 people spread around the globe, while directing two projects [which] already takes way more than 40 hours a week,” thought to himself, “What if I open an AMA but I only answer one question that others vote up and as long as that question follows certain guidelines?” And so he did.

Quote
[T]he game’s Quantum system, which readers will recall is the economic simulation system (...) The goal (not promise, Roberts hastens to point out) is to have elements of the system come online towards the back end of next year.

I would want it to be exactly what I envisioned it to be, and would want it to be something I was proud of. I don’t even have a gaming computer powerful enough to play the Alpha. But I am proud to be a part of this dream.

I've always thought it would be around 2030 near a release date/soft launch. I could see it even stretching till 2035. I don't really mind so long as it's fun and plays well.

"We still have a ways to go before we are in beta, but everyone on Squadron 42 is working very hard to deliver something great," CIG boss Chris Roberts said in an AMA on the Roberts Space Industries website to coincide with Star Citizen's eight birthday (Star Citizen was unveiled on 10th October 2012).

Quote
imminent release of a show focused just on Squadron 42 called The Briefing Room. New episodes are planned every three months until the game comes out.

The best answer for your question is Squadron 42 will be done when it is done

We chose to build a game of Star Citizen’s complexity and ambition, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

We have made great progress on iCache and are hoping to have it in a live build by Q2 of next year (“hoping” not “promising”).

Quote
Like our tech hurdles, it’s not a matter of if Star Citizen will ever reach critical mass but when. The future gets brighter quarter by quarter, as every release is an incremental and tangible step to the fully dynamic first-person universe sandbox that we have all dreamed of. You better bring shades!

Depending on Turbulent’s progress we are hoping to have the first iteration of the new Public Roadmap for Star Citizen and Squadron 42 to go live towards the end of this year.

I don't see the problem, Roberts said he'd treat the backers like he'd would treat a publisher. Historically this means he keeps asking for money and doesn't deliver.

It's clear they consistently don't meet targets

I don't think thats mismanagement. The goal isn't to just push something out in a timely fashion, never has been. Its to create a good game. The target (date) is just a red herring to what actually matters. The quality of the game. And I don't think they're mismanaging that at all.

Ouch. In the time since I started backing in 2014 I moved to a different state, moved back to my home state, worked 2 jobs, traveled to 3 countries, visited 45 different American cities, got married, had two children, financed and paid off a vehicle, and bought a house.

I don't have time for video games as of last year even though I check back in on reddit to see what's up. I wish I never backed this game.

Eight years ago:
Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts teased his next project last month, and now he's providing some actual meaty details. Space sim fans, meet Space Citizen. As Roberts proclaims in a video, he's not buying into the doom and gloom proclamations that PC gaming is dead.

“In recent years, game designers have stopped innovating and pushing the boundaries of what you can do in this genre,” says Roberts. “I plan on bringing that kind of development mentality back into PC gaming and space sims in particular."

His project, Space Citizen, has been in development for a year, and now he needs players' help. He's turning to crowdsourcing to raise $2 million for the last stretch. He says the model is perfect for what he's trying to do, essentially a spiritual successor to his iconic space-sim series Wing Commander, because it eliminates the need for publishers and allows the studio to pour all of that cash into development. Don't expect to see this one on consoles or mobile devices, either.

“There is a lot of noise out there regarding social and mobile games right now, and I think PC gamers are feeling a little left out of the mix. But the PC is still incredibly capable of presenting an experience that doesn’t take a back seat to any other platform out there, including consoles. With my game, I want PC gamers to stand up, be counted and get excited again about all the great experiences their computer can deliver.”

Players take on tours of duty within the game, following a mission structure that should seem familiar to Wing Commanders. Those sections play out in a generally linear fashion, though players will have the opportunity to take different paths at various points. When they aren't committed to a formal job, however, pilots can explore the vast universe and make their mark. For instance, if you explore an obscure section of deep space and find an out-of-the-way jumpgate, that navigation point will be named after you, and other players will see it. The game will require a subscription, though it will be a one-time purchase, and not a month-to-month expense. Roberts promises regular updates and additional content rather than blasting players with major updates every year or so.

For more information on the game, visit the official website, where you can watch an in-depth video on the development goals, see some in-game assets, and pledge your cash to the project if you think it's something you'd like to play.

TURBULENT CREATES NEW GAME DEVELOPMENT STUDIO IN MONTREAL TO MAKE WORLDS FOR STAR CITIZEN ​​​​​​​

Following Minority Stake Investment from Cloud Imperium Games in 2019, Turbulent Opens Montreal Studio Devoted to AAA Sci-Fi Game Development

Montreal, Canada, November 24, 2020 - Turbulent will open a Montreal game studio focused on building star systems for Cloud Imperium Game’s sci-fi Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game of unprecedented scale and uncompromising vision: Star Citizen. The studio will be directed by Benoit Beausejour (CTO and co-founder) and industry veterans Guillaume Voghel (Producer), Pierre-Luc Boulais (Art Director) and Louis Rousseau (Lead Game Designer).
https://www.gamespress.com/TURBULENT-CREATES-NEW-GAME-DEVELOPMENT-STUDIO-IN-MONTREAL-TO-MAKE-WORL

I believe this will be the sixth studio, and the third focusing primarily on Star Citizen, while the other three are mostly working on Squadron 42.

CIG owns 25% of Turbulent, they've been working on Star Citizen for a few years now. Also yes. Probably. We know that some capital ships and large freighters are basically done for example, but they wouldn't work in game at this point. The core issue is still the server infrastructure. At one point, a single shard, which ran an entire star system, could only handle around 10 people, with super wonky performance and constant server crashes. I only give the game a spin around once or twice a year now, and it was significantly smoother and more stable this week compared to my previous test, with a lot more content and 50 players per shard. Quite an improvement, but they pretty much reached the limits of what's possible with the classic server shard model. How long it will take to implement their server meshing feature is anyone's guess at this point though. iCache, a core feature required to enable server meshing (and multiple star systems), was supposed to go online this year, but it's not done yet and I doubt it'll make a surprise appearance in 3.12.

Turbulent has done the website, the communication system both ingame and on the website, ingame UI systems and backend server infrastructure. The new studio is headed by former Ubisoft Montreal guys Turbulent poached between July and September (from the Rainbow Six Quarantine team) and Turbulent's CTO.

New roadmap is coming in December: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17901-Upcoming-Roadmap-Update

TLDR: The new roadmap isn't written by hand anymore, it's connected to CIG's project management software, to give near realtime progress updates. It took so long because they obviously needed to create the frontend and interface and convert their internal data to something digestable and understandable. This new implementation will supposedly show everything they're working on, not just the things planned for the next three or four updates, and was designed to be used internally as well.

The SQ42 video was released in October:



And I don't really follow Theaters of War's development (because I frankly don't give a fuck), but CIG fast tracked the main battle tank very recently specifically for that game mode.

Because of this I have decided that it is best to not show Squadron 42 gameplay publicly, nor discuss any release date until we are closer to the home stretch and have high confidence in the remaining time needed to finish the game to the quality we want.

Back in the day this is like what 99% of fangame projects would post on like GameMaker.net forums after the creator lost interest and school started back up and the game was well on its way to being vaporware but they really wanted to assure people it would get done eventually, pinky promise. (Such fangames were almost never finished.)

How could they delay a game that had no release date in the first place? CIG stated in early 2019 that they hope to enter beta by the end of 2020. That obviously didn't happen, but there were no plans to release that beta to the public in the first place.

Also, the "they make more money not releasing the game" argument people love to bring up makes very little sense to me. Squadron 42 is $45, or a $15 addon to Star Citizen. That's it. All the expensive ships and cosmetics CIG sells for boatloads of money are for Star Citizen, not Squadron 42. If anything, releasing Squadron 42 as soon as possible would be the best possible way to promote their real cash cow - as long as it's actually finished, polished and good. But looking at the new progress tracker, that won't happen in 2021, either. Maybe 2022. Star Citizen will probably enter beta before Squadron 42 even has a release date.

given the amount of pointless tweaking roberts is doing to star citizen its likely they have 1000 hours of unrecorded mocap script changes to complete before sq42 can get out the door. plus art/design.

also i think they've monetized theorycrafting to such a degree that whenever star citizen actually leaves 'alpha' interest in the IP deflate like a balloon. i'm sure everyone at cig realizes this by now, which is another reason why sq42 is getting backburned.

another problem I can see surfacing is that it isn't clear from a production standpoint which product is 'informing' the other... originally IIRC sq42 was the jump-off for star citizen; you play the solo game and sales would fund the persistent universe release that follows. that doesn't seem to be true anymore, so art/mechanics/lore edits are going to have to flow into SQ42, which has the pleasure of attempting to build a narrative around all of this murkiness. good luck lmao.

I'm just so glad we have not one, but two new Duke Nukem Forevers to mock for the next decade and a half. :beetlejuice

When DNF actually released I missed having a large scale never-finished ego project on my mind's back burner I could check in on and laugh at every so often.

But now we have two! :jeb

According to Wiki:

Quote
Squadron 42, a single-player game set in the same universe, was announced in the Kickstarter as part of the same game universe, accessed through the same game client as Star Citizen. The player character's performance in Squadron 42 will reportedly have an impact on their career in Star Citizen.[9]

They were (are?) literally planning to bolt the two "games" together and let you launch either from the main menu, and your character is the same across both or something.

I'm not sure anyone told Chris Roberts that CCP already kinda did this idea with Dust 514 (an actual released game that was then shutdown three years later), which interacted with the also-actually-released (and still running) EVE Online.

Roberts mostly focuses on Squadron, so Squadron should still inform everything else lore wise. And if you play the current Star Citizen alpha, there's very little lore regarding the event Squadron 42 is about. There are no Vanduul in Star Citizen yet, or any other alien races for that matter. The final planet in the Stanton system and the two neighboring star systems they're currently working on aren't going to change that, they are all in human space. They deliberately keep everything regarding the Vanduul or Earth politics to a minimum. The only mention of the war I remember is an inscription at the Hurston Dynamics HQ in Lorville. They're also holding back assets that are shared between both games but play an important role in Squadron 42.

That said, the technology Foundry 42 Frankfurt developed for Star Citizen absolutely informed the gameplay in Squadron 42 I believe. But it's also worth keeping in mind that most of the devs are working on Squadron 42 primarily or exclusively. The core technology group is shared between both games of course, and spread across all studios, But only two of the six studios, CIG Austin and Turbulent Montreal, are primarily dedicated to Star Citizen, and Austin mostly does backend and server stuff while Montreal only just opened.

i predict sq42 to be a total bust; it's going to be a bunch of weird one-take mocap scenes, a terrible story, and all of the mechanics being hashed out and refined via crowdsourced feedback in star citizen will appear as half-formed and rushed versions.

Does this mean they’re finally gonna cut and run :thinking

no, there's still too much grift to be made off people that think CD Project Roberts going radio-silent is a good thing because he must be really working super hard on it now
