How do you see Arena Commander? Sometimes it seems like it's really important, sometimes it seems like CIG has completely forgotten about it. Sometimes there's a Theaters of War, sometimes there are years of complete silence.
TL;DRThe priority is Star Citizen, but Arena Commander is used as a testbed for features not ready for content, and a possible use for validating new FPS AI spawn closets was only just discussed.
I mean, the three of us spent a lot of time working on Theaters of War. It's something we're very passionate about. We're excited to do things with AC, but the priority right now is Star Citizen. And one of the ways that we're leveraging Arena Commander is that it's a great testbed for some of the features that aren't quite ready for content. So something that may not be ready for an actual patch, but stuff that we want to test out, like resource networks, engineering, stuff that we can test in a specific game mode in Arena Commander and get some insights before we go full content with it in Star Citizen.
Well, hot off the press, I did have a conversation with Jens this morning about potentially, 'potential' is the specific word here, that we might use Arena Commander to validate the new spawn closets for FPS AI.
How's that going to manifest?
Well, we've never had PvE FPS in Arena Commander. There we go.
