Well.

The Babylon Project anyway.

I had a friend transcribe the small article to me from the PC Zone magazine in the UK.

Freespace 2 Source Code Project: scp.indiegames.us

Talk about dreams given form. The Babylon Project has been in the making since 1999, taking the beloved Freespace 2 engine and happy-slapping a Babylon 5 paint job all over it. Finally, we have the chance to get our hands on the Starfury.
Since Sierra cruelly axed the original Babylon 5 game years ago, we've been waiting for something like this. Sure, you don't have the inertia-based ship movement seen in the show, and the game mechanics and interface are Freespace 2's rather than having been converted to suit the B5 dynamic (and the voice 'acting' is straight out of amdram), but everything else is spot-on.
The ships look great given the engine's age, the action is spot-on and the missions follow the TV plots. Best of all, you don't need the original to play - the FS2 engine having been made open source and freely available.


Any public coverage is nice to have as far as I'm concerned.

Congratulations go out to the TBP staff peeps.

Indeed. Public recognition is good, and TBP people deserve it.

Awesome work, guys. :D
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!
