Their hard work and efforts have been integral to our success.
We entered into a partnership with Benoit and the team at Turbulent eight years ago, first to help us develop our web presence and then our publishing and platform capabilities. “Over the years, Turbulent has proven themselves to be an extremely reliable and creative partner. Montreal has an amazing talent pool of developers and a rich video game history, and we couldn’t be happier to add the very best local talent to work with the CIG family on the focused goal of building worlds for this unprecedented persistent universe.”Ĭloud Imperium Games co-founder and chief development officer Erin Roberts also provided a statement. “I am extremely proud to officially announce the creation of a Star Citizen development team in Montreal at Turbulent. The press release included a comment from Benoit Beausejour: The goal is to grow the studio to 100 developers over the next three years. The studio will join the already large developer force workingon Star Citizen to develop new tools, enhance and expand the development pipeline, create new locations and features, and “build entire new star systems for Star Citizen, which will make their way into the Star Citizen universe on an ongoing basis.” The company opened a brand new studio in Montreal, Canada, which will be directed by CTO and co-founder Benoit Beausejour, producer Guillaume Voghel, art director Pierre-Luc Boulais and lead game designer Louis Rousseau.

More details will be announced with regards to these plans. They will need to edit or remove some information so that it could be more comprehensive to those who are not technically inclined. Roberts also mentioned that they are planning to release the next Alpha version of the game to a larger audience. 8, and Roberts will soon post the upcoming schedule on a weekly basis.
