The latest news on New Citizen in 2023, the release of the new Cinematic trailer, and the reopening of the community platforms. It has been quite some time since we have spoken about New Citizen.

It has been quite sometime since we have spoken about New Citizen. We understand the community's concerns at the time for going to Kickstarter for such an ambitious project and with the past history
in the roleplay genre we can see from an outsiders perspective that asking for public funding on a game like New Citizen would be risky for the public due to the previous games that has done such and failed to provide results even after successfully being funded. We have taken the approach of remaining silent developing the game to its core framework something that has already surpassed what others have managed to create with millions in funding, the current state of New Citizen has been self funded by Tanner Rozankovic with plans for potential funding later on after proof has been provided to the public that our game is not only developed but a solid framework that has been built from the ground up with limited to no marketplace assets other than art assets.

Today is the first step to launch, opening up our Discord, website and releasing our cinematic trailer we plan on bringing people into the community to start building up awareness of the project once again prior to releasing the first gameplay video.

Project Overview:

1.0 Game Concept: To create the first successful open-world, standalone roleplay game, that unites all role-player's from around the community to join under one title.
1.1 Genre: Adventure / Roleplay / Massively Multiplayer / Free roam / Sandbox
1.2 Target Audience: PC Gamers, aged 16+, who have been around the modded life community, as well as new people who have never experienced a “Roleplay” life simulator/mod.
1.3 Prime Objective: To create the first stable/polished standalone roleplay game.
1.4 Game funding: Self funded by our CEO Tanner, future funding will be subject to public perception and if the state of the game is ready for such request.
1.5 What is next: We plan on releasing gameplay footage that will go into detail about the current stage of New Citizen, going into detail about both gameplay features and development tools that our team has created for the Unreal Engine 5.
1.6 Why did we create New Citizen: The idea of such a game has had me obsessed for the past 7 years, to push the boundaries of the industry and to prove those wrong who believe it cant be done, think about it this way "a 19 year old creating a game that many say cant be made by industry vets" well when I pull this off to its completed level not only will I have completed this part of my personal development checklist I will be able to speak with actions as words I have found are quite cheap and useless.
1.7 When will New Citizen release: We aim to release in early access, early 2023.

Prompt message from the Development Team:

Thank you for taking the time to look into our project we understand the level of ambition we are striving for, hence the reason we decided to remain quiet from the media until we had something worth showing, please be patient with us as New Citizen is still early on in development with so much more to come, our team is incredibly eager to show more of our work but we understand the problems that can arise from creating too much anticipation/hype, as ones own imagination will set the bar too high for what we can achieve in a timely and reasonable manner, we ask you to join us along the development journey as we are a small dev team who self funded the development of New Citizen, we are not asking for crowd funding until we are ready with a MVP as proof we are able to bring our visions to light. "Talk is cheap, let us show you what we can do."
