WC Saga Development Focus Shifts To CGI

What's going on with Wing Commander Saga? According to a recent website update, mission programming is in the final stages and more effort will be allocated to cutscene creation. Today they're giving us a first look at the early CGI for a planet from the Vega System. Look here for our previous coverage of the FreeSpace 2 mod.

Exciting times are ahead for Saga. The mission programming is barreling towards the finish line and preproduction for CGI cutscenes is gearing up. Making CGI cutscenes is a time consuming endeavour. Each of our environments has to be painstakingly crafted, explosion and lighting effects take precise adjustments, and each frame must be scrutinized. All of our CGI scenes are in early stages, so they don't represent the quality of the final product yet, but feel free to take a look at a few screenshots of Vega Prime from one of our CGI cutscenes.
