New quarterly patch 3.5 will drop end of March with a new flight model, female character, new locations and ships. Long time since we saw a tutorial made by CIG. Good for new comers that can be lost through various keyboard options.

kryntok

a tutorial? so this game is launched?

DrunkWolf

So when does the game come out?

FreelancerND

I read only "A tutorial for newcomers to describe why one actually need to buy, oh... invest into a dream and be thankful for a bunch of techno demos sewn together by CR's threads of bullshittery"

Jamar870

Does this mean a "true" beta  is not far behind? Can we expect one sometime this year?

Pher0cious

Redundant tutorials for a game that will never be finished and released.

Amathe

We need a tutorial for understanding the status of this game.

justintbhs

Tutorial includes how to access the store and become the whale you've always wanted to be!

Tip to get started:

Step 1: Mortgage your house
Step 2: Buy Ships
Step 3: Profit?

Kyleran

Tutorials are a great idea for a released game, for one in never ending development it makes one question whether they are really committed to ever formally launching.

With the way the cash keeps rolling in do they really have an incentive to so?

moguy1

My post and all following posts will say in short " LOL " . Why do this?

Arglebargle

Smart move, if CIG can easily pop things in and out of the tutorial, depending on Roberts' latest whims.  

If they want to keep adding base level (~$35) buy in, this is useful for the new folks.

Squadron 42 Beta in Q2 2020 hence in a year and half.

Who the hell makes a tutorial on buying and downloading a game? Christ Roberts apparently. Don't worry that we are still in ALPHA after 6+ years of development. What's important is that you keep paying us money so we can continue to be in ALPHA indefinitely.

But... it is a lie. Beta is planned Q2 2020, not never or indefinitely. 6 years for project which started with 12 guys, no pipelines, no studios and 6M$... and ready to deliver in few quarters two triple-A....

By the way, do you work for free? because the +500 employees don't. It is fascinating to see some complaining about a +220M$ budget over 6 years when publishers are doing Billions $ every single year without providing nothing but re-skinned version of their past Triple-A.

Keep lying man. This game development is doing well

Fuck me, 2011 was 6 years ago?
In that case hello from the future, it still aint released.

I think its likely at the point where you have to say that this is likely as good as its going to get, maybe it will be 'finished' one day, but how many years into the future that is, who knows? So having a tutorial now probably makes a lot of sense, people have paid out quite a bit of money for this game, so giving them pointers in how to get the most out of what is available, to me it feels like a form of 'acceptance', that perhaps this is what Star Citizen is, so enjoy what you can of it.

End of quickstarter was Nov. 2012 not 2011... and yes 6 years is nothing for Two triple-A starting from scratch.
Beta in Q2 2020. Not never.

Sure. 35/45$ for a starter package is all you need to get in. Which is 2 or 3 times less than Publishers re-skinned version with few DLC's bringing nothing new. Go buy more BF5; Fallout76 and same crap we got every year for "just" 50$ + DLC's.

Looks like beside those usual salty guys around on internet, Backers do get the project no Publishers care to ever sale them.

Beta in Q2, 2020? So then we can expect endless iterations as in Alpha?

Beta 1.0, Beta 1.1, Beta 3.4, etc?

Then comes.....early access, pre launch, something else new maybe?

Still no promised launch date, anything else is still part of the shell game.

Get your facts straight please, in Oct 2012 Chris Robert's stated he began about a year previously. (Oh yes, and it's called "Kickstarter.")

He also said creating the game in two years was possible. (With a straight face even)

Beta in 2020 is for SQ42 only I believe, which even then will put development for the single player version at over 8.5 years, and still no promised release date. 

There may be a few single player games which have taken 9 plus years to develop,  but not too many, most publishers don't have that sort of patience.

Just tips for getting started?

No tips for finishing?

odd, that

From the game development which is never finished, not so odd really.

Speaking of the OP, I'm too old school, I mistakenly assumed these were "in game," where typically game "tutorials" are located.

These are just a collection of "how to" videos slapped on a web site, poorly labeled and organized as well.

As usual, you ignore the known quotes of the SC Brass that claimed they'd worked on the game for a year before the kickstarter.   Just like you ignore all the other failures and issues of the game.   

Given that CIG hasn't made many deadlines yet, and have lied a bit, why should anyone give credence to their further bleatings?   Oh yea, ignoring the facts does make that easier.

Next year will have the same excuses as every other year.
