For this week's update, we have a lot of things to share! First off, the Wing Commander Saga team has revamped it's website. Our web page has been completely overhauled for your convenience with a more user-friendly and comprehensive layout. Stop by for a visit to check out preview trailers, information regarding the project, and thrilling new in-game screenshots!

Secondly, we also want to showcase some more of the music of Wing Commander Saga. In our opinion, the music in the original Wing Commander series played a major role in creating the essence of Wing Commander that made it so compelling. The full campaign will feature remakes of original Wing Commander songs as well as original tracks that seek to capture the same tone and feeling. An example of our efforts to emulate the WC style can be heard in the intro and outro tracks we used in the Prologue. The intro music is designed to evoke the sense of anticipation that Sandman and his fellow classmates feel upon reaching the Wellington. The outro is sober and brooding, mourning the loss of many good friends and speaking of still darker days to come. You can grab them here.

Also, www.fourthlaw.com is running an article on Wing Commander, and as a part of that they have included an interview about Wing Commander Saga. Head on over to hear what they had to say.

Last, but not least, we are happy to announe the release of the first fan-made mission for Saga. It was created by Mustanger, so any questions about it can be directed to him. Just download the mission and place it in the data\missions folder of your Wing Commander Saga Prologue folder. Grab the file here.

Tolwyn’s reputation for risk taking with other people’s lives was considered  to understate the facts. The admiral’s willingness to sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve his objectives had long been lauded in the popular press. He was “the man who got things done”.- Colonel Blair

No errors, no random CTDs, just pure fun and proof of why getting hit with missiles is a bad thing.

Nice..



Though minor criticism about the site...

'Last Image' would be better as 'Previous Image' (when browsing galleries)..
Are we supposed to actually view the movies or just screenshots taken from the movies (in Media tab)?
'Captial' -> 'Capital'
In database a link back to 'higher level' would be nice. Like from Arrow -> Confed fighters.. Kinda like what the Confed fighters page has.
Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light

Good point, I consider renaming this tab to renders or something like that.

Great work with the update. Spectacular overhaul of the site by the way.  :D

Yes the page is great... but i miss the old Page. This "Wing commander Style" with Tobi and much other things like the papers i really miss.

The technical site: The new page is easier to navigate and the possibility to give comments in the News is great.

And now... I'm waiting for the final campaign.

The decision to make a relaunch was not an easy one: Lars and I spent a lot of time building the Tobi website. But, as the page grey, it became more and more difficult to maintain. New site is based on a CMS, is faster than the old site and also gives the user possibility to leave comments, vote and so on.

The work on the main campaign is going on, but, as  stated a few times already, we could use some help :)
