\"Star<\/p>\n

Chris Roberts’ Star Citizen<\/a> space combat simulator ended its\u00a0crowd funding campaign and established a new crowd funding record, after\u00a0Obsidian Entertainment\u2019s Project Eternity title.<\/p>\n

Star Citizen\u00a0raised a total of $2,134,374 on Kickstarter<\/a> (>400% the goal) and $4,104,189 on\u00a0its official website<\/a> for a total of $6.23 million\u00a0dollars\u00a0raised with 89,667 backers.<\/p>\n

“I am absolutely elated by the incredible outpouring of support for this project,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cIt\u2019s clear that space sim fans have just been waiting for a game like ours to come along and rekindle some of the excitement that\u2019s been missing from PC games and the space sim genre. With the resources that our fans have provided, it means the team will be able to provide more features in Star Citizen and deliver an even better game.\u201d ~Chris Roberts<\/p>\n

Cloud Imperium,\u00a0Roberts\u2019 new game company, plans to have an early alpha of Star Citizen ready for backers at the end of 2013.\u00a0Apparently, backers are still allowed to switch or upgrade their pledges and non-backers can still jump in, although “at slightly higher prices”.<\/p>\n
