I think it is…
I believe Cris Roberts is the main guy behind both Star citizen and this one. Cris…back in the day wanted to create the ultimate space simulator game. He was the guy behind the wing commander series if i remember correctly. So he started work on star citizen….unfortunately that ambition might have been too big a bite to chew given cris limited crew base at the time. Its surprising how much he did accomplish with star citizen
Im thinking though since squad 42 is a single player experience, rather that citizens multiplayer….citizen was probobly the more difficult and involved game to make. And he just didnt have the resourses to hand to pull it off in a timely manner.
But it looks like he has his ducks in a row now, i hope he chugs away at both these game, i love space sims….wing commander was actually what got me into this genre.
I wish him the best, and i hope this game turns out amazing.
