We'll do our very best but we might not make it before Christmas. In case we don't we'll have a nice present ready for you though :)

Re: The official Saga eye candy corner
One question, will the Saga executable support techniques that have made it into FSO lately? Especially depth-blended particles and FXAA?

We are already in the code freeze state. That means 'no'.

Re: The official Saga eye candy corner
On the other hand, I hope all Saga features are ported to FSO like they were the last time, so it'd be possible to play WCS with a regular nightly (or an experimental "Shadows and lightshafts" build :)).

I don't want to dissapoint you, but that is highly unlikely. Our code has been optimized to support our game and most of our changes were made without any regard for Freespace compatibility, so it is highly unlikely that it will be ported back by the SCP. If any experienced programmers want to port some FSO Features over to the Saga version however, that should be possible. We will however not offer support for such an undertaking, neither will we support game problems caused by modified engines.

Take your time. If it´s a few more weeks...no problem. I´ve been waiting for 5 years now for this incredible TC.

Re: The official Saga eye candy corner
Certain things (like graphical upgrades) should be possible to port without breaking FS compatibility, unless they'll conflict with other features implemented after the fork. As for other WCS-specific features, they'd take some time to adopt, but if they're useful/awesome enough, somebody will do it. This already happened after Prologue was released. Anyway, we'll see after the release.

Autopilot. I always love that feature and it made the missions seem a little longer.

Re: The official Saga eye candy corner
Thing is: our autopilot is implemented entirely in FRED. Then again, certain SEXPs we utilize either do not exist in FSO or do not work properly.

Porting over FXAA should be relatively simple. Unless of course you have opted not to include taylor's changes to the rendering core and post-processing.

But yes. If there's a feature in WCS that we can port over to FSO without compromising FS2 compatibility, we'll do so.
Also, do note that features like Shadows and godrays rely heavily on the way the FSO rendering engine is structured at the moment, which may be somewhat different to WCS' way of doing things.
