Chris Roberts and developer Cloud Imperium Games have earned an incredible $37 million dollars from fans alone, according to Gamespot. The game began development in 2011, and is now the best funded project in the history of crowdfunding.

To put that $37 million in perspective, the rumored budget of 2013’s Beyond: Two Souls was $27 million; 2011’s L.A. Noire cost around $50 million.

The game is described as a space trading and combat simulator for the PC. It is a persistent MMO with sections of first-person space combat, somewhat reminiscent of Roberts’ massively popular Wing Commander and Privateer games from the 90s. The game is set in the 30th century, and features both a single player and multiplayer campaigns with drop-in/drop-out co-op. Star Citizen will also offer support for Oculus Rift.

Shortly before SC release, I will be ordering another (3rd) DS system. This game will take some serious hardware, can't hardly wait to configure this beast.
