Future Lore Release Schedule

Happy New Year from the CIG Narrative Team!
01/03/2023 - 5:00 PM

To start 2023, we wanted to share our plans for the lore release schedule going forward. Beginning in January, the Narrative team will be scaling down the release of original content to the website in order to focus on in-game content for Star Citizen and Squadron 42. This will allow the team to expand our capacity to deliver NPC dialogue, mission text (including support for Narrative heavy investigation missions), item descriptions, and more.

Having weekly fictional content has been something that’s been ongoing since the game was initially announced back in 2012. Through these characters and stories, we’ve been able to help convey the tone and feel of the universe in the game we were trying to build. As the game has come to life, the need for these posts has decreased since players are able to start crafting their own stories in the universe.

While the team will be reducing the amount of original material written solely for the website, we’ll continue to release content two or three times a month in our standard Tuesday slot. This will include monthly updates to the Galactapedia, Jump Point and Whitley’s Guide articles not currently available on the website, and our quarterly Loremakers posts where we answer questions posed in our Ask The Devs forum. Now, we may be hitting the pause button on new lore for the website but there’s always a chance we could write a special post to contextualize an in-game event, progress an on-going Empire-wide storyline, or simply check-in on one of the many characters that have come to life in the dispatches over the last ten years.

Since the schedule will vary slightly from month to month, here’s a rough guide to what the release schedule will look like going forward.

1st Tuesday
No post.

2nd Tuesday
Release of a Jump Point or Whitley’s Guide article not previously available to all.

3rd Tuesday
Loremakers post in March, June, September, and December. No posts in the other months.

4th Tuesday
Galactapedia post, if it’s the last Tuesday of the month. If there are five Tuesdays, then an additional Jump Point or Whitley’s Guide article will be published.

5th Tuesdays (if applicable)
Galactapedia post to round out the month right.

We look forward to sharing this content with you going forward. As always, feel free to dig into our extensive backlog of lore here, or use the ‘Lore’ tag to drop a question to the Narrative Team in our Ask The Devs section of Spectrum.

Future Lore Release Schedule

Frohes neues Jahr vom CIG Narrative Team!
01/03/2023 - 5:00 PM

Zu Beginn des Jahres 2023 möchten wir dir unsere Pläne für die Veröffentlichung von Inhalten vorstellen. Ab Januar wird das Narrative Team die Veröffentlichung von Originalinhalten auf der Website reduzieren, um sich auf die Spielinhalte für Star Citizen und Squadron 42 zu konzentrieren. Dadurch kann das Team seine Kapazitäten für NSC-Dialoge, Missionstexte (einschließlich der Unterstützung für Narrative-lastige Ermittlungsmissionen), Gegenstandsbeschreibungen und vieles mehr erweitern.

Wöchentliche fiktionale Inhalte gibt es schon seit der ersten Ankündigung des Spiels im Jahr 2012. Durch diese Charaktere und Geschichten konnten wir den Ton und das Gefühl des Universums im Spiel vermitteln, das wir aufbauen wollten. Seitdem das Spiel zum Leben erwacht ist, hat der Bedarf an diesen Beiträgen abgenommen, da die Spieler/innen ihre eigenen Geschichten im Universum schreiben können.

Das Team wird zwar weniger Originalmaterial für die Website schreiben, aber wir werden weiterhin zwei- bis dreimal im Monat Inhalte an unserem Standarddienstag veröffentlichen. Dazu gehören monatliche Aktualisierungen der Galactapedia, Jump Point- und Whitley's Guide-Artikel, die derzeit nicht auf der Website verfügbar sind, und unsere vierteljährlichen Loremakers-Posts, in denen wir Fragen aus unserem Ask The Devs-Forum beantworten. Es kann sein, dass wir neue Informationen für die Website auf Eis legen, aber es besteht immer die Möglichkeit, dass wir einen besonderen Beitrag schreiben, um ein Ereignis im Spiel in einen Zusammenhang zu stellen, einen laufenden Handlungsstrang im gesamten Imperium voranzutreiben oder einfach einen der vielen Charaktere vorzustellen, die in den letzten zehn Jahren in den Depeschen zum Leben erweckt wurden.

Da der Zeitplan von Monat zu Monat leicht variieren wird, findest du hier einen groben Überblick über den zukünftigen Veröffentlichungszeitplan.

1. Dienstag
Kein Beitrag.

2. Dienstag
Veröffentlichung eines Jump Point- oder Whitley's Guide-Artikels, der bisher nicht für alle zugänglich war.

3. Dienstag
Loremakers posten im März, Juni, September und Dezember. Keine Beiträge in den anderen Monaten.

4. Dienstag
Galactapedia-Beitrag, wenn es der letzte Dienstag des Monats ist. Wenn es fünf Dienstage sind, wird ein zusätzlicher Jump Point oder Whitley's Guide Artikel veröffentlicht.

5. Dienstags (falls zutreffend)
Galactapedia-Beitrag, um den Monat richtig abzuschließen.

Wir freuen uns darauf, diese Inhalte in Zukunft mit dir zu teilen. Wie immer kannst du hier in unserem umfangreichen Wissensfundus stöbern oder das Tag "Lore" verwenden, um dem Narrative Team in unserem Bereich "Ask The Devs" auf Spectrum eine Frage zu stellen.
