They know, they're the ones that released the source code.

That, and there's the original uncompressed music tracks that he also took the time to dig out on his own time. So they know, and even help occasionally :) They just don't frequent the forums (anymore).

Or simply browse as guests :)

If I was a developer in their position, I'd be happy to just sit and watch this 8-year old code blossom into it's next generation, they've done their part with the code, and I'm sure it's fascinating just seeing what people are doing with it now.

Or maybe they are hiding within our ranks, searching for a time to strike and take over the forums!

On a serious note, are the original developers for Freespace still even in Volition? That company seem to have suffered alot of hardship. Last time I checked, they were working with THQ.

Re: Are there any original Volition FS2 Devs here?
Volition is doing fine, much of the Freespace team still exists, though spread more thinly, but they have always stated they'd like to be given the go-ahead for FS3 one day. Whether that would be on console or not is a whole other discussion, the gamer in me says 'No', the 'me' who knows where the wind is blowing says 'Most likely, Yes.'

It's Interplay that fell, and they were distributors, not developers, FS2's development team are still largely all still around.

Id like the cutscenes to be remastered.
Maybe if they give us the raw files and a computer from 2007 can reprocess them to better resolutions?

Re: Are there any original Volition FS2 Devs here?
I haven't talked to the Volition guys in years but they do know that the community is out there and they do talk about whats going on.  I remember when I visited the Volition offices years ago that they were impressed with what the community had done to date with the ship mods and new models being produced.  I doubt they are as active in following whats going on but they know still we're out here.

You post too much compared to other members here, takashi. Just because he doesn't post often doesn't mean he hasn't been here awhile...:wtf:

Why do you share a PC with Taka? Are you his brother? Co-worker? Spouse?
