Lucky Human, Happy Monday!
Last week we released a big info drop on CitizenCon 2953! This year's event will be a TWO-DAY celebration! The biggest convention of all things Star Citizen will be taking place in Los Angeles at the Los Angeles Convention Center from Saturday, October 21st, to Sunday, October 22nd. Get the lowdown on tickets, community booth, volunteer opportunities, and the return of the fan-favorite cosplay contest so you do not miss out on the fun!
Last week also saw the release of Star Citizen Alpha 3.19.1, which aimed to implement a variety of fixes. However, the team is aware and monitoring a number of ongoing known issues, such as ASOP terminals not consistently functioning, and others. We'll keep you posted as we have more information.
One of the big highlights of last week was the kickoff of this year's Alien Week, in which we explore the ships, languages, cultural nuances, and history of our non-human friends. If you haven't seen it yet, make sure to carve out a few minutes for the latest Banu commercial. And of course, compete to win in our latest Community Contest, in which we challenge you to recreate a mysterious alien encounter...
Finally, we wrapped up the week with International Bar Citizen Weekend inspired by First Contact Day and our personal favorite part of Alien Week. Having the opportunity to connect with you all in-person brings us an incredible amount of joy. Like-minded adventurers, gamers, and developers alike gathered near our offices in Los Angeles, Montreal, Austin, Manchester, and Frankfurt for food, beverages, and of course, a shared love for all things space!
Now, let's see what's going on this week:
The Alien Week fun continues, as this Tuesday, we're publishing a new Alien Language post for all you xenolinguistics out there to test your skills.
Thursday welcomes another round of Jumptown 2.1, for those looking to clash. In addition, we'll welcome a new episode of Inside Star Citizen, focusing on the Mission Feature Team's exciting work for Alpha 3.20 and beyond.
(UPDATE: Due to technical issues, we, unfortunately, have to cancel and reschedule today's episode of SCL.) On Friday, Star Citizen Live returns at 8am Pacific/15:00 UTC with a Gamedev episode about Production with Lead Producer Jake Ross, and you'll also find our weekly RSI Newsletter directly delivered to your inbox. In addition, the Bar Citizen World Tour continues, with a few notable upcoming events. Members of the team are currently traveling to Shanghai, for the largest community-organized event to date (1,500+ attendees), followed by a Bar Citizen stop in Hong Kong, and South Korea, with many more to come throughout the remainder of the year
Plus, the Show Us Your Colors Celebration 2023 continues, so get colorful and share your best with us on the Community Hub! There's been some incredible submission so far, many of which have been passed around our studios.
Have a stellar week both in and out of the 'verse!
