Yeah, so basically, our team's brand new, and we're just starting to find our feet and get the ball rolling on the stuff we have to work on. But previous to this, before we got started, as we were ramping down our work with the previous props team, we took a bit of time to start looking at what kind of cool new features we could develop, what we're able to do with the skills we currently have, and then maybe what we're able to progress into later on. So to that end, we sat down and thought, okay, what can we do with props? So we thought it'd be awesome to create a cool set of props that players would be able to maybe pick up, take with them to places and place wherever they'd like. Within reason. So we sat around and thought, oh, it would be really cool making some form of camping set, something like that, where players can load up their ship with some equipment, take them to anywhere in the verse, land, and place them and have little camps and stuff.

Make little tableaus, make little campsites of their own and stuff.

Yeah, we went wild with the thought process. We're just like, imagine when all the tech comes online and we have lots of players on a server, they'll all come and set up tents and stuff. We can have our own version of Glastonbury, Star Citizen.

And it's not the only initiative that the new Interactables team is tackling. This is just the one that we've chosen to highlight and explore today. Not everything that we make in Star Citizen Live Game Dev goes into the game, but whenever possible, we do try to piggyback on work that you're already doing so that we can see the process of making stuff that has a better chance of someday making it into the game. The team is already scoping out camping gear. We thought, let's make some camping gear today.
