After a long journey across the stars in your small, cramped craft; you land on a nearby barren, deserted planet to give yourself the opportunity to stretch your legs. Landing on a nearby flat plateau, you emerge from the craft. Turning around… you are amazed by the landscape laid out in front of you.

In more recent quarterly alpha test updates for Star Citizen, many improvements have been implemented into the game’s planet tech. While more updates are expected in the coming months and years as new improvements, biomes and more are implemented; you can still take many a nice picture on any in-game planet.

In development by Cloud Imperium Games and their studios across North America and Europe, Star Citizen is being helmed by Wing Commander (1990s) creator Chris Roberts. The game has currently been in a long-term alpha phase with no confirmed release date. Despite this, the studio has raised more than $250 million USD through on-going crowdfunding.


Take That (In-Game) Snap Daily Photo is an off-shoot of the Take That (In-Game) Snap article series, in which the first article focusing on Final Fantasy XIV was recently published. This looks at, celebrates and critiques how video game developers have implemented professional photography-like systems into their games. It will cover how the systems handle, just how accessible they are and, where applicable, how a modding community might be making these tools even better. With this Daily Photo spin-off series, I will be sharing individual photos from the games either covered or soon-to-be-covered in the series.
