Chris Roberts, founder of Cloud Imperium Games, hosted the third annual CitizenCon Saturday night in Manchester, revealing during his keynote that the studio was hiring more staff than ever on Star Citizen.
”I know there’s been some noise recently,” stated Roberts, referring to the recent controversy involving his studio, The Escapist and indie developer Derek Smart, ”But as you can see, we have more people today than we did months ago. And even with some of the changes that we’ve made, we actually have more people working on the project that we ever have before.”
Before his speech, Roberts ran a “How We Got Here” video, starting with the announcement of Star Citizen at GDC 2012 through to present day.
