probably half of the dev time was just trying to get a singleplayer game engine to run an MMO lol
and general expansion, they went from 13ish people to 500+
if you want to crowd fund a game make a clear cut off where the money stops
which is still tiny for a AAA game studio, and even more so for what they are promising
and then run it with a solid and constant budget
or else it becomes clownish
and the project falls in on itself
and that's if you even get funded in the first place
they are gonna use profits from a singleplayer campaign game they are developing rn to fund the main multiplayer game
although im not sure that will be enough
>scam
Meanwhile, they employ a full workforce
And have developed a large amount of content as it is
And also
Realistically speaking
After getting so much *unexpected* crowdfunding
They basically had to reimagine the entire scope of the game and start from scratch
And uh
6 years for developing a big project in *traditional* workforces is not unheard of either
>$28000 for pixel ships in a game that was slated to be released 5 years ago and still hasn’t been
I mean overgrowth was in dev for like 10 years
and that got realsed
Clearly you've never played EVE
And that game is still going strong 16 years after release
Eve is one of those game it's full of boomer and it's a litreal spreadsheet simulator
EVE is the best example of a player-driven economy
I like the Economic in the game and I'll be honest I wish Elite has just 40% of that game economy
And one that works quite well
The only big problem with EVE is that it's really hard to get into by urself
I like Elite for being a bit more casual in term I don't have to care that much. Eve sometimes can get a bit too much I can't tell you the amount of time I was soo paranoid whenever I jump though the gate in that game
True I got into that game because there was someone to help me. If you new player you are completely screw.
Luckily, I dont forsee SC having the same problems
think about it Elite Dangerous and SC Have Crowdfunding at the same period of time but Elite is out True that not all content promise is there on releaase but at least the game is out and it's a decent game.
Meh
Elite didnt really appeal to me
Low on content
I do get a bit piss off the facts teh elite is taking 1 years content breaks.
Not very engaging either
Hopfully the december update could be promising but I have to be frank the latest "New content" is just trash.
The thing you gotta understand is that SC development effectively restarted itself in 2014
