Yes, there is a full-blown demo in the works. Not every ship/fighter in the
full Saga release will be incorporated into the demo, nor will every music
track. You'll only get a sample. There are good reasons for a demo release
other than to satiate the desire for a fusion of WC and FS.
First of all, it would provide a much wider base for finding bugs and being
able to discover which system specs run the mod well. Some people may need
to save up to upgrade their machines in order to run the mod, and it would
be a great courtesy to let them know beforehand that such an upgrade would
be advisable.
Second, it would also help to generate fan feedback for fine tuning the
actual product before its release. Nothing is more dissapointing than
waiting for a game to come out, and then when you finally get it, it's fun
is greatly diminished due to a multitude of bugs (this is what happened with
X2: The Threat).
In order to stick to time table the team could use some help from the
community. Any kind of help is appreciated. Head straight to
WCS forums,
take your chance to become a member of the Wing Commander Saga. The team is
looking forward to hear from you soon.
