Elite: Dangerous’ budget was originally £8m. Kickstarter made up less than a quarter of that
Developers often say during their Kickstarter campaigns that they’re footing a large part of a game’s development bill themselves. In Elite: Dangerous’ case that turns out to mean more than £6 million.

Magicka 2 karaoke trailer is terribly awkward and completely wonderful
If you want to see some spell-flinging, robe-wearing action from Magicka 2, you’ll need to listen to Totally Not A Vampire, Vlad, doing a little karaoke number. Clearly it’s a lesser known European hit from the ‘80s. Paradox sure knows how to trailer.
And yes, I did sing along. I have the shame of a reality television person.

With V0.9, which launched today, Star Citizen’s Arena Commander module gets it’s most significant update yet. After updating from the launcher client, you’ll be able to flit around space in new game modes - including a race mode, the Murray Cup - in some new ships, which you can put to bed in new hangers.

Frontier Developments has announced the cost of the release version, and it’ll only set you back £39.99/$59.99. There’s a digital pre-order edition in the works, too. It’s a wee bit cheaper and comes with a few treats.
In the mean time, check out the short but flashy TV spot below.
