'From the Jaws of Defeat' an Entertaining Success (December 16, 2012)

[ChrisReid]

Plywood Fiend has completed his Wing Commander audio adventure! The story begins with a TCN infoburst recapping the recent biological attack on Locanda, and then it follows a handful of pilots on an exciting mission.

I'm impressed with the quality of the finished product. It's surprisingly gripping and fun. Good pacing, tension and clever use of familiar Wing Commander sound effects make this radio show much more entertaining than just a group of Wingnut reading fan fiction aloud. It's also wonderful to see how a committed group of WC fans can bring something like this together relatively quickly - less than two months in this case. We're already looking forward to the next one!

​

Presenting 'Wing Commander: From the Jaws of Defeat', first of what will hopefully be plenty of Wing Commander audio productions.

A quick warning to headphone users, this can get very loud at times. Also, for anyone who dislikes such things, be warned of strong language.

I'd also like to take a moment to extend my appreciation to the quality team I had working with me on this project, specifically Malcolm Reynolds, Slim Jim and Fowl Firekkan. Their dedication, enthusiasm, initiative and suggestions have all been invaluable, and it was a privilege to work with them all. Thanks guys.

I suppose I'll need to get started on another script.

Ni-i-ice. Enjoyed this a lot! Please consider doing a serial (but stand-alone vignettes like this are great too), and post the next casting call as soon as possible.

Any chance of an MP3 download of this?

 

[Plywood Fiend]

At the moment it's available to download as an MP3 from here: http://tindeck.com/listen/lqfn . A more convenient download option may soon follow however.

I'm still considering ideas for the next one, though one thing I will say is that it will have a much larger scope and (hopefully) a larger cast as well.

Consider me on board for tryouts, a sequel (direct or indirect) sounds exciting.

Thanks for the link!

Good for a first go, although I did find it a bit hard to follow what was going on at times. Look forward to the sequel.
