Star Marine Delayed Indefinitely

Star Citizen's FPS mode has been delayed due to technical and gameplay-related issues.

Star Citizen boss Chris Roberts has revealed that the current version of Star Marine does not meet the standards that Cloud Imperium Games wanted to achieve.

"There are several issues that will need additional time in order to deliver the first iteration of the gameplay we want you to experience," he said. "The challenges facing the FPS launch are a mix of technical blockers and gameplay issues. The most significant technical hurdle faced today is the networking backend."

Roberts went on to say that Cloud Imperium Games attempted to continue development using "legacy code," but it was later decided to partly abandon this approach--this led to even more issues.

"That meant developing what we're calling a Generic Instance Manager (GIM) and rewriting both the Matchmaker and (for the larger project) the game Launcher from scratch," Roberts explained. "Those efforts are all going well, but they've all taken additional time for our engineers."

Star Citizen is the most successful crowdfunded game in history, with almost $85 million.
