^^(I updated the graph I posted on the 21st.)^^

As I suspected, Star Citizen had more than $100k on Sunday and Monday (Their "day" finishes at 6 PM mountain in terms of their pledge counter). Total is currently $19.83 million.

Star Citizen made ~$560k during the 3-day Drake Interplanetary Caterpillar sale.

Sandi Gardiner, the head of the marketing department at CIG posted this photo of herself on her Facebook page:

Under tag slightly NSFW content.

NSFW!

This is a picture of her and Chris Roberts:

Neat info, but shame it's only an abstract. The graph junkie in me really wants to see raw numbers and charts.

Chris Roberts will be on the AMD livestream from Hawaii tomorrow at 1 PM mountain time. AMD is announcing their new series of GPUs.

RSI will be carrying the video on their website.

Really weird combination of a Drathi and a Cylon Raider.

I really hope there are more ships capable of melee combat (because I didn't get to buy a Scythe you see).

I don't really like the Vanduuls in this game but I guess giant anthropomorphic cat furries as the baddies aren't really that realistic either. I always wondered if the Kilrathi purred when they were happy, loved jumping in boxes, and had a deadly weakness to catnip.

Well they may not be NPC baddies, but the Goonrathi will be giant cats causing lots of pubbie tears.

I think there's probably some fan fiction written by furries that they do that.

I remember seeing this brilliant rewrite of Wing Commander IV where Thrakath the main baddy had faked his death and become farmer Thrakath which goes to the easter egg in one of the Ultima games where you find his crashed ship in a farmers field.

The above video was played at the AMD event in Hawaii today.

It contains some new footage.

In other news, Star Citizen is on course to hit $20 million in the early afternoon tomorrow.

And we have more or less a fully crowdfunded AAA game folks. Mark that one in the books.

Woohoo!

We are getting fishtanks.




Also... click the image below to read the rest of Chris Roberts' letter to the community following the $20 million goal being reached.



$22 million stretch goal is a facial capture system so they can create more realistic faces for the game characters.


ALSO:

Good article about Star Citizen, Chris Roberts, and the crowdfunding campaign @ Gamasutra

AND

Chris Roberts' presentation at the AMD conference yesterday:

Seemingly out of the blue Star Citizen has started raking in big funding again. This time mostly from new backers. Yesterday was a ~$120k day and today will be ~$140k.

Best theory is the good press (recently from CR at AMD conference and breaking the $20 million barrier) has been attracting new backers.
