Development of ''Star Citizen'' began in 2011. Development is following a modular approach, and four modules, the Hangar Module, Arena Commander, Crusader, and Star Marine, have been released between August 2013 and December 2016 to Kickstarter backers and pre-orderers. While the game is playable in an alpha state as of November 2017, it will not be officially released until it is considered feature-complete.
'''Funding'''
''Elite Dangerous ''relied only initially on crowdfunding, raising £1,578,316 on Kickstarter. After official launch of the game, further development of the game is funded through sales of the game, sales of the [[Horizons]] season pass, sales of cosmetic items on Frontierstore, as well as sales of other, cheaper-to-produce games developed by [[Frontier Developments]], such as Planet Coaster and LostWinds.
''Star Citizen ''initially relied on crowdfunding on Kickstarter, raising $2,134,374. Crowdfunding still remains the primary source of funding for the game, though the funding was instead moved to the official website of the game. The website allows players to both directly pledge money to the game through donations and through game packages, which contain the game, ships, hangars and in-game money. Star Citizen is the most crowdfunded product of all time, having raised over $160,000,000.
