Warren's Brush with Disney
Former Originite Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios has been working on a new dark and "epic" Disney themed adventure game for the Wii. Game Informer has a cover feature on the game in the November 2009 issue. You can check out some of the concept art below or images from this issue here. Of course you'll notice in the first page that they don't fail to mention Warren's Wing Commander past:
"The lives of Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit may seem strange subject matter for one of the most lauded game developers in the world. Warrent Spector helped to shape the landscape of electronic gaming throughout the last two decades, from his involvement in franchises like Ultima, Wing Commander, System Shock, and Thief, to the groundbreaking Deus Ex. From those frequently edgy, experimental projects, it seems an odd shift in gears to tackle Mickey, a character identified with saccharine sweetness and innocuous simplicity. At least that's the way spector felt when Disney approached him about creating a new Mickey Mouse game."

Making the Game: Web Fiction - Episode 7
Interestingly, the game seems to have dropped all attempts at incredibly variable fiction for Episode 7 -- it's all winning or losing, although the chart showing the many different options is still included in this document. Perhaps the feature was dropped between the writing of Episode 6 and 7, or perhaps the idea was that this late date was the equivalent of the 'you win or lose regardless of past performance' final series' from Wing Commander II.
These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
