Star Citizen alpha
2013-Aug-30, Friday 12:51 amI tried sleeping tonight, but allergies made the sinus pressure hurt when I laid down. So I got back up and tried repeatedly to sign in to the Star Citizen space ship hangar module that was published today.
Star Citizen is that crowdfunded game that keeps breaking records. It's currently at $16.6 million raised. Today they finally delivered a program that people could use. It's a "pre-alpha" according to them. It's very buggy and very slow, but it does show off basic functionality and a few game design assets. I captured screenshots of each of my ships in the hangar. Each image file is 3MB or less. Here's the directory where they're stored:
It's looking good. They're still about 1.5 years away from releasing the full game. Lots of work to do, but they're making fine progress.
I've got tissue paper stuffed up my nostrils to keep the sniffling at a minimum tonight. I wish I could go play my Star Citizen full game until I'm finally too tired to stay awake in spite of the sinus trouble.
