The WCDC has posted a new movie clip from Wing Commander: Final Conflict. Rather, they will be posting one in the near future once they fix their link. Anyway, you can get the clip, which is just under a meg, here.
You heard it here first, folks, the results of todays election! And to think they laughed at me at reporter-school.
Anyway a lot of the basic models are done, but some of the textures do need work, as it can be seen. I suppose the help of anyone with the ability to create good bmp images to use as textures on the .opts would be welcome greatly.Although we don't have a title for the TC yet, there are some things that we do have set in stone in terms of story.
The series is first set in early 2667 in Gemini, with the player cast in the role of a certain Matthew Robert "Coolhand" Tarkington, a newly recruited militia pilot.
The events basically lead up to the Battle of Terra, with some slight differences between the "canon" WC timeline, and this one. Mostly however you'll be playing a small part in a war escalated beyond anyone's worst nightmares.Tarkington ends up playing a larger part in the war than he ever dreamed of, in several key engagements including the Battle of Vukar Tag...
Hopefully the multi-region/96 ships per region limit in XWA can be fully exploited to make the battles seem real. (BTW I'm not sure how many of you noticed, but yes, the name of the main character is a referrence to the Jake Grafton books. The character is even set to be a distant descendant of Toad and Rita Tarkington.)
