Cloud Imperium has released a new Squadron 42 video that focuses on its core technology. In this video, we get to see some animation improvements, new idle poses techniques, weapon handling, as well as procedural soft body deformation to create destruction assets.
Squadron 42 is the single-player story driven game set in the same universe as Star Citizen. This SP game is being developed alongside Star Citizen (consider Squadron 42 the single-player mode of Star Citizen) and both of them share the same tech.
Back in 2016, Cloud Imperium claimed that Squadron 42 will feature 28 chapters that will be equivalent to 60+ missions. The game will feature 340 speaking roles with state of the art facial scanning and mocap, and over 20 hours of performance capture. In addition, its story arc is made of 1255 pages of dialogue.
Squadron 42 will also have 40 distinct ships, hand-crafted environments that will be enhanced by procedural tech, systemic space and FPS gameplay (from stealth to brute force), dogfighting in both space and planetary atmosphere and a subsumption AI.
Enjoy!

I am so looking forward to Squadron 42. That’s all I really want out of the Star Citizen project. If it’s as good as I think it will be I will gladly pay full price for it. Haven’t done that in 5 years but I have great expectations about this single player game.

I’ve never seen a company share so much behind-the-scenes developmental footage turn out to be a scam. I know it’s cool nowadays to be cynical, but if this was a scam, we wouldn’t be hearing anything at all from RSI.
Well its a scam . Cuz you wont play the full game in your life time.
You’re making a prediction you can’t possibly substantiate.
Just like this game release date lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f93b58fa916d6fe9edf9942f5df24e575c8c8ebbfcd1dd8572eb3e9b3b5e2e0a.jpg
What ?
Your argument is just as dumb as you .
Cyberpunk is from a studio that made the withcher 3 what got 800 awards since its release and got GOTY in 2016 .
So the next game will be good .
Your argument is invalid just like you .
Cyberpunk 2077 entered pre-production as soon as developer CD Projekt Red had finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine

Do you have any proof of anything what just said or just talking from your a.s ?
“Hahahah the game has been playable for years”

Yes. Cyberpunk 2077 entered pre-production as soon as developer CD Projekt Red had finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine
Like i said 3x . Are you this dumb on purpuse ?
Yeah the wiki is wrong and you are right . . . . . Sounds like a child . . . .
https://youtu.be/etBufTl7slc
Thats why after 7 years starcitizen is still just a tech demo ?
Wrong . Like everything you said .
There is a difference betweene a tech demo and a alpha / beta. What you dont know .
Looks awesome.
how about some GAMEPLAY???
i swear all these kickstarted projects promises the heavens and new breakthroughs but no gameplay whatsoever
i can already tell this will “project” will never be completed
Hmm isn’t there enough gameplay already? Granted not much fron SQ42.
keep buying those ships suckers….forever alpha….lmao

Everybody has great expectations of this game. Spent more money than many AAA titles.
It has to succeed otherwise say goodbye to most if not any kickstarter/crowdfunding projects
It’s a bot, dude.
Are you serious lol what the fk is the purpose of this…
64K made the exact same comment but I know he’s a real person. I’ve chatted with him. Bot accounts just copy/paste comments. For what reason I don’t know.
I don’t know but I suspect this is the work of bot farmers to give some credibility to their bots by having a posting history before spamming some sites that use Disqus.

This just happened to me….
A good looking gal I flirt with all the time in the check out lane
said
Joke time
I said”good I need a laugh”
She says’
What is the difference between a garbanzo bean and chickpea ???
I say “dunno”
She says
“I have never had a checkpea on my face…..”
I laugh and then say
YOu must not be as adventurous as me…
Made her blush!!!
HAHAHA
Go get her. Senpai if this is true. The future say you shall reproduce soon.
FOrtunately or unfortunately I am married. Love my wife, SO I stay true. Sigh, it is tempting at times though. Very few gals catch my eyes these days, and fewer still catch a connection of any kind. My wife knows I am a big flirt and she is ok with it as longa s that is all it is. She knows at the end of the day, I am coming home to her and her alone. That I will always take care of her.
That said, sometimes I wish a guy could have more than one wife lol!!!
but then again that means twice the nagging sop maybe not HA!
“sometimes I wish a guy could have more than one wife”
careful there friend, love is always rose-y at the beginning but
polygamous relationship will always f**k up the children
stay true to thine wife and raise your children with honor, for they are the future which will rebuild our crumbling civilization
I once had a girl peek in on the keypad at an ATM as I input my PIN code. Then she snatched my card out of my hands and the $50 I had on my card was illegally withdrawn shortly after.
That’s the joke. HAHAHA
-_-

Did you just copy 64K’s comment?
I honestly think this is a bot considering this account and another copied 64K’s comment since he posted it first by time stamp.
I’ve been botted numerous times here. It goes on regularly on the VideoCardz site too. It’s the first time I’ve ever been double-botted though. I don’t know but I suspect this is the work of bot farmers to give some credibility to their bots by having a posting history before spamming some sites that use Disqus.

Yeah I’ve never seen a double-botting before, so this is interesting. I wonder how the bots choose what comments it copies. I’ve never had it happened to me yet, but I don’t post on that many websites besides here, PC gamer, and political sites.
God d-mn is there some amazing looking renders in this. That gun around 6:13, that the guy in the Carpenter Brut shirt shows off, looks downright amazing. It looks straight out of UT or Quake. They’ve made some decent progress.
Might give the PTU another try this weekend and check out the updates. Cant wait for S42, im looking forward to that more than SC.
That dude had 2 watches….
I’m an indie comic book writer/artist and I do several Kickstarter campaigns a year and one thing is that I stay in frequent contact with my backers until the books ship. My campaigns grow steadily each time and that’s because of word-of-mouth from satisfied backers who are happy they actually keep getting stuff from me after they pledge. lol I’ve heard from them about many Kickstarters that go dead silent after funding, which sucks.
That’s awesome! Getting paid for your art is one of the better things an artist that you can experience. I know what that’s like since I played lead guitar in a couple of different bands, and also wrote some of my own music although I never tried to Kickstart and album or gear for a real studio.
See you know exactly what the people who purchase slots on your Kickstarter desire, which is being updated on why they spent their money on. While I don’t know what it’s like to be on that end, I did pledge to one game where the devs went dark post-funding early on into kick starter. So as somebody who’s has it happen I appreciate you going out of your way for your fans/Kickstarter investors. That’s probably why you do get a lot of word of mouth. So any way you can show me your work? I’m curious to see your style and how skilled you are if you don’t mind.
Crowdfunding involves a lot of bizarre human psychology. It’s not like going to the store and just buying something off a shelf. You have to employ and understand all kinds of things about people when you’re running a campaign.
I always like to offer things at reward tiers that I think are fair, but it’s also fair to offer rare rewards for higher prices. People love the idea of getting rare things. I’ve also learned a lot about people over the last few years of crowdfunding; I used to offer a bunch of additional little physical rewards to go with my comics, things like stickers, bookmarks, magnets, .etc. Until I started asking people if they even valued any of the extra stuff. Surprisingly, like 90+% didn’t even care. They just wanted the main comics, so I ended up stopping offering the extras because they weren’t even interested! lol
Also, some people like to contribute but don’t care about rewards. One guy pledges like $300 to every campaign I do but never fills out the surveys to provide his mailing address and he never responds to my messages when I offer to send him rewards. lol I don’t get it but I’m not complaining!
I want to send you a private message with links to my work but don’t know how.
Sadly dude there is no way to send private messages over Disqus. It’s one of the stupid things about it. Just send the links to my spare g-mail account nickelplatedjesus@gmail.com
And more stuff of the same argument that it’s never coming out because X person said X thing about the game, and disgruntled ex-employee’s. Why is it always the same exact arguments and “proof” posted over and over again by other people? I’m not interested in X person’s opinion, I want proof the game is never coming out or that Chris Roberts has swindled his backers. So far you’ve posted nothing that proves either of those two points.
Where is the definitive proof that the game is never coming out? Where’s the proof that the game is “vaporware” despite being updated and worked on and just releasing a patch today on their Alpha? It makes no sense.
This sh-t is on the same tier of argument that people make about Half-Life 3 supposedly never coming out because Mark Laidlaw released a dogsh-t “ending script” for Episode 3, despite Episode 3 being canceled by Valve and Gabe Newell saying it’s turning into it’s own standalone game that will be Half Life 3 to finish it out. Somebody releasing or saying one thing doesn’t make something true.
The burden of proof lies on you. Prove to me that CIG isn’t ever going to release a game despite releasing and admitting to their faults that their development time has exceeded what they originally thought it would be due to the scope of the project expanding.
Post something from the actual company, hell even an internal E-mail from them or something proving that they are just here to scam a bunch of “whales” and other people who’ve paid money for the project, which would land just about everybody in jail for over fifteen years for Fraud.
“i’m not interested in X person’s opinion ”
Did you look up at least one of them ? Nope . You dont any of them yet they know 100x more than you and you thing your argument is right.
. . . Tipical kid .. . . . https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e00c74c7aad404f4ca14f392390dbc26d4c41fb00e0308b41f67909bcc20221.jpg
I’ve literally had people post just about most of these things at me as if they mean anything. If one of those disgruntled employee’s or anybody in the business knew for a fact that this was all one big gigantic scam, they would have some sort of proof of it. But yet, none of them have ever posted anything other than their opinions on it. I’ve looked at them, and so far it comes off like a bunch of people who don’t know, or can’t prove the things they say.
But sure, because you have no actual proof that it’s a scam means I’m dismissing it all. Here’s the thing, all of the people who say the game is a scam tend to post the same sh-t in various different forms. I’ve heard just about every single argument I could have possibly heard by now, all opinions from industry people or ex-employees. But the one thing I’ve never seen is any definitive proof the game is a scam.
You can try again with some proof and I’ll believe it. Otherwise stop posting the same thing every time SC threads pop up.
You call me a kid, while posting the opinions of people as “proof” the games a scam. That’s rich, made me have a nice fine delightful chuckle to myself.
Thos guys i posted arent disgruntled employee’s . This is a proof that you didnt ever look at what i posted you just asumed i was wrong .
What a child .
