Last week, there was a juicy 2+ hour interview with Michael that’s well worth the watch. He dove into upcoming gameplay (SAGE and UE5), new mechanics like battle lines, changes to the map system, and much more. On the DAO side, the second Council term officially began this Friday, while the outgoing Council pushed three more PIPs through the pipeline on their way out. Over in SAGE, the team significantly changed how FIC buy orders are refilled. Meanwhile, testing for the SAGE Free-to-Play version—now called Holosim Universe—has kicked off with community members.
