Things have been busy over at the project to petition Origin to release the source code to old Wing Commander(s). Here's something Jumper had to say..
The Wing Commander Engine Source Code Release Project is happy to annouce breaking 100 signatures! We now have at least 110. Thanks for all your support! A major web site update is planned for this weekend, with a minor one (mostly small fixes to existing stuff) being uploaded ASAP. Visit www.wcescrp.cjb.net for more info.
For those who haven't been following the project, this is a sharp increase in support over the last week. Looks like now is a good time to chip in your name if you haven't done so yet. You can email either mmajewski@usa.net or jumper@wcescrp.cjb.net.
Dear Wing Commander fans,I know you feel let down by Origin for (probably) discontinuing the Wing Commander saga, so do I. As you may or may not know I (TAFKAW) was making the half-life add-on Wing Commander Marine Corps. Quite honestly this project has been dead for some time and I have lost contact with my crew. I was just on the verge of abandoning the project when I read that Origin might discontinue the Wing Commander series. I have therefore decided to restart the project in about 8 - 10 weeks (once my exams are done). I have no idea how long the project will take to complete but I will put a (temporary) date to October 2000. This will probably take longer. I hope to help Wing Commander fans by doing this and strongly urge other fan projects to pick up their work. I hope Wing Commander fans around the globe will enjoy this (free) project once finished, and enjoy many more hours of Wing Commander as they have done untill now. If you have any questions, remarks or anything else, don't hesitate to email me at ac.noordegraaf@quicknet.nl or noord241@wx.
Sounds like there might be a few fan projects reviving for this summer.
Construction editor Adam Reefer writes. Construction workers who had been labouring on the Wilson Towers development on the planet of Karatikus were shamefaced this morning: it seems that, after topping off the project yesterday, the builders went on a drinking spree, having over nine months of back pay in their pockets. They awoke this morning, somewhat painfully, to ashenfacedly confront the fruits of their behavious: the entire project reduced to rubble, the result of an inebriated game of bulldozer chicken. Labour starts again today, and Brikcrete is in great demand.
