This video discusses the recent decision by Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) to release the Evocati patch notes publicly in order to increase transparency and community discussion. The video also mentions the testing of the Overdrive Dynamic event in Star Citizen, as well as the departure of Todd Papy, the live game director at CIG, and the concerns about finding a suitable replacement.
In this video, the narrator discusses some recent changes regarding the Evocati patches in Star Citizen. The Evocati patches are non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that content creators and testers sign, preventing them from sharing specific details and screenshots of the patches. However, leaks of these patches have been happening, causing confusion and frustration among content creators who follow the NDA. To address this, Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) has decided to make a change and release the Evocati patch notes publicly, allowing for more transparency and discussion within the community. This change only applies to the patch notes, and the NDA still prohibits sharing visuals or other content from the Evocati tests.
The video also mentions the testing of the Overdrive Dynamic event in Alpha 3.22. This event is related to the Xeno Threat Dynamic event and involves multiple players and groups participating in different phases of the mission simultaneously. It includes tasks such as taking out priority Xeno Threat targets, acquiring crypto keys, bounty hunting, and assaulting security posts. The narrator speculates that the Xeno Threat event might receive updates in Alpha 3.23, making use of new mechanics like improved cargo and better combat modes.
The video then shares the unfortunate news that Todd Papy, the live game director at CIG, is no longer working with the company. While no official statement has been made about his departure, the narrator expresses appreciation for Papy’s contributions to the game and wishes him well in his future endeavors. The concern is raised about who will fill the void left by Papy and whether CIG will find someone with similar experience and expertise.
Finally, the video concludes with a call for viewer opinions on the changes to the Evocati patches, excitement about Alpha 3.23 and potential Xeno Threat updates, and a reminder about the ongoing ship giveaway and ways to support the channel.
