This week’s Star Citizen Around the Verse episode heralds the game’s 2.6.1 update, which has gone live for the hand-picked special test crew of the Evocati. Following a brief check-in with the Austin studio, the video’s highlight is an in-depth feature on the ship pipeline, so start at 06m20s if you’re dying to learn about how the game’s zillions of ships are rolled out.
Speaking of dying! This ATV includes a tease for “dead body tech,” which is too amusing not to note. CG Supervisor Forrest Stephan explains: “A big part of the build up for 3.0, corpses are part of the set dressing. You know in the wrecks, the abandoned ships and we wanted a way to use our loadouts, our current characters instead of placing these temporary props so we developed a system to use a physics based approach to having designers place these dead bodies everywhere.”
Festive. The whole episode, including bodies fallin’ from the sky set to very solemn music, is below!
