Unstoppable crowdfunded project Star Citizenhas now passed $44 million in funding, says Roberts Space Industries.
Those who pledged before this milestone will receive an additional room added to their hangars.
"Walk among the distant horizons you’ve charted in Star Citizen’s dedicated 'map room' featuring a 3D holographic representation of the known universe," the blog postsays of new feature Stellar Cartography. The rooms acts as a sort of "digital diary," expanding into something unique to your as you explore new worlds.
Roberts Space Industries is hoping to lure in more backers with the promise of another feature, an Updated Scanning Software suite, that will become available once the funding pool hits $46 million. And as for the reward goal after that? Players will be able to vote on their favourite choice of three options: a role-specific outfit, an engine tuning kit, or a space plant. Be sure to check out the Star Citizen blog to cast your vote.
Star Citizen initially raised $2.1 million when it was first revealed as a Kickstarter project. The first of several "modules" - chunks that the game has been broken down into in order to get something playable into the hands of backers - was released last year, allowing players to walk around and examine their ships. More modules will be released this year, with the finished game expected no sooner than 2015.
