What is a recent update you can share with us that is not spoiler-related?
TL;DRThe team recently worked on a new female player character, integrating a full, different performance into each scene rather than just swapping head and voice, with pickup filming already done and more planned.
I guess, if I'm looking for a non-spoiler, which is always quite difficult on Squadron, we've recently been working on the new female player PCAP. As with everything in Star Citizen and Squadron 42, it's more than just a head and voice replacement. We're integrating a full performance into each scene to enhance the experience of a gender choice in the game. So if you choose the female character, you will have a different performance within the game. Chris has been vocal in the past about almost presenting the cinematic and story elements of the game as a director's cut kind of thing. But we've always said we're going to allow the player to wiggle out of that and experience it the way they want to. You will see the nuances of a female performance within the same scenes if you choose that gender now in the game.
And with all the subtle differences in the storytelling and the performance of other characters that that might entail.
Yes. You've got a lot of slightly different interactions as well in there. So it's going to be interesting. We shot quite a lot of scenes. So it's a lot of work, but it makes a big difference.
And I suppose it adds to the replay value, too, because you can go through playing with one gender and then go through and play with the other gender and see the differences. And of course, the recent filming we just did was not the first time. They were pickups. It was additional filming with our female player character.
Yeah, absolutely. And we know in the future, obviously, we are going to be doing pickups here and there for a lot of the story elements as they develop.
