The Wing Commander Saga FreeSpace 2 mod team has released a set of unused 3D models for general FreeSpace 2 consumption. The set includes the Avenger, Banshee, Vindicator, Durango, Bearcat, Lance and a prototype of the Stormfire gun. The files are four years old, so some tinkering may be required... but it's pretty cool, regardless! Collect them all here (2.4 MB RAR).
Gamasutra has conducted an interview with Wing Commander veteran (and industry superstar) Warren Spector about the University of Texas' Videogame Archive project. It sounds like our series will definitely be represented:
What kinds of material are you going to be contributing?
I’ve got – man, my wife will kill me if I don’t find some other home for all this stuff – I have everything from 150 drafts of the Deus Ex design documents, to the first contract Chris Roberts ever signed for Wing Commander, to paperwork about lawsuits that’ve never been made public and everything in between.
It will be great when the general public can sign up to study this collection! You can read the entire interview here.
