Star Citizen sets procedural generation as next goal. Passes $39m in funding
Comments6
Our style guide has a whole section devoted to Star Citizen. For the past year every article we’ve written has needed to start in the same way “Star Citizen’s now has more money than [insert large, fiscally abundant country :: Note: make sure it is larger than previous country referenced].” It has to stop.

It marks the team’s entrance into the last leg of development.
