Challenges Facing the Project

"Progress is slow in large projects!" (Many people complain) and the community are split, on the speed of the release.
- Extensive features, lots of promises for the future.
- Significant development time; the scope (they promised a LOT)
Community Interactions and Player Experiences (Talking to Friends)
Talking to players:
- Some love the depth, the exploration side.
- Others express concerns about the sheer size (a big space!) of the game.
Questions that Remain Unsolved (After many questions and hours played.)
- How will player engagement be sustained? Will this grow in interest as features add and other developers follow suit!
- What are the current and potential conflicts, issues for managing so much?
Pricing Strategy (Why It Matters?)

- Is the full release priced at a justifiable level? Is there good value?
The Verdict
Star Citizen looks incredible (but needs fine-tuning). This is an ambitious project. It's more than just a video game, and in future years there will be lots of development. A community will flourish over years and this promises much for everyone in-game.
(My thought: It's worth keeping an eye on!)
The Long Game
Star Citizen has potential for a phenomenal journey. For many it represents something bigger than just video gaming (people love the scope, promise of something great!). If everything is on time, players should see and be rewarded by the future, promises of success, (for years to come).
Future Considerations (From My Experience):
- Content delivery and its rhythm should feel better. A smoother approach.
- Balancing (an ongoing effort!), more balance.
Possible Future Scenarios
- A significant amount of content may result in some players feeling lost!
- A solid social structure might drive ongoing involvement (hopefully this is the case).
Overall: Is Star Citizen the future? Only time (and players) will tell.
Community Input and Development Roadmaps:
Some have criticism about these roadmaps, are they really doing the most efficient thing to do for their audience (community)!
