Star Citizen is a crazy thing. There’s a game in there somewhere… I think. The long-in-development, Kickstarter-funded (kind of but not really – it’s a long story), graphical powerhouse that can barely run on most modern PC’s space sim is such an ambitious project that’s been in development for so long, it was only a matter of time before someone involved in its production left the development house, Cloud Imperium Games. It looks like that person is officially Alex Mayberry.
According to a PR release, Mayberry left the company for personal reasons, leaving fellow employee Erin Roberts to pick up his slack. Additionally, the publisher announced they’d be opening a second studio in Frankfurt. That team will be focused on the FPS segments of Star Citizen. There’s tons more development left on the title, so I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it in the future.
