Roberts says Star Citizen will continually receive upgrades years after it is released. But having $20 million instead of some lesser amount means more stuff will make it into the first version.
For example, the minimum number of planets players can land on was initially planned to be 30. Now it’s going to be 450. Another bonus: first person combat is planned for the first release. “That was always part of our plan, but we were actually not going to do it until after we were live,” Robert said. “Everything we’re really doing for Star Citizen has always been part of my plan. The difference is we’re able to deliver more of that master plan much sooner in the process.”
