Cloud Imperium Games creates excitement with a video about Squadron 42, making players eager to finally experience the single-player campaign of the MMORPG Star Citizen.
The video showcases impressive scenes from the game area “The Coil”, which plays an important role in Squadron 42.
You could already see this area in the long gameplay video of the single-player campaign. Now the developers have presented it again in the latest Around-the-Verse video, detailing how they designed it.
A Uncomfortable Place in Space
The Coil is a dangerous place formed by an explosion. This explosion destroyed a planet, causing its debris to float in a mist in space. Navigating here is anything but easy. However, pirates use this location to hide. However, fighting in The Coil is only challenging.
The new video provides further insights into this area, which looks particularly impressive due to the volumetric fog.
The team discusses how they had to redesign The Coil because the first version was simply too “pretty” and testers felt comfortable in it. The Coil is meant to be a threatening place where every excursion could be the last. The fog is not an area where one would like to linger or establish a base.
Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are Taking Shape
Currently, there is no release date for Squadron 42 or Star Citizen. However, the recently released videos show that both games are making progress. Squadron 42, for example, already looks like a real game.
Star Citizen is continuously being developed. Four major updates are planned for this year.
