Cloud Imperium Games has launched a new update for the infamous MMO Star Citizen to make its world more persistent.
Alpha 3.18: Lasting Legacies has added Persistent Entity Streaming tech that allows objects moved by players to be dynamically tracked on specific servers, meaning players can now leave their mark on the world.
The developer claims this makes the game “one of the most immersive and ‘lived-in’ experiences ever seen in games”. Further, this technical update is a critical addition in laying the foundation for full in-game persistence.
