Star Citizen, the crowd-funding space sim phenomenon from Chris Roberts, has smashed the $18 million milestone after raising an extra $1 million in just a week.
“These numbers are amazing, and the credit goes entirely to the community that has come together to make Star Citizen happen,” Roberts wrote.
“The best news in all of this is that the Hangar Module has inspired thousands of new fans to join the effort. The bigger our community, the better the game experience will be and greater chance we will have of making Star Citizen a game that continues for many years.
“When we first proposed Squadron 42 and Star Citizen, the goal was to bring back space sims and prove that PC games never died. We thought that was an important goal worthy of our effort and your support. We never dreamed that you would take that even farther and become our partners in changing how games are developed. As always, thank you.”
$19 million will see a Jane’s Fighting Ships style manual given away free in PDF form to all pledgers.
A $20 million goal has also been set, promising “first person combat on select lawless planets”.
As it stands funding has reached $18,396,787.
