And The Winner Is... (January 21, 2018)

[ChrisReid]

...the Secret Ops Model Upgrade Pack! Wingnuts from around the world have weighed in, and they've chosen DefianceIndustries' beautiful upgrade to WCSO as the Fan Project of the Year for 2017. The project released multiple playable tests this year on top of regular updates to show off the graphical enhancements in development. Even more is in store for 2018!

​

We had two runners up that were neck and neck in the race this year, and our first is the Homeworld Remastered Mod! L.I.F. has been on top of a steady stream of updates to the game, both large and small, all year long. The other runner up is Wing Commander Flat Universe, which released their highly anticipated multiplayer update in 2017!

​

Congrats to all! And onwards now to another great year of fans doing great things with Wing Commander!

Congratulations everyone.

The MUP is definitely a team effort, from Dark Sentinel's amazing Nephilim models to Gr1m's Unlimited wizardry (i swear he's actually some kind of coding alchemist) and Popsicle Pete's tireless work building the MUP into the installer and needling us right brain types to keep up a release schedule. Not to mention all you wing nuts who test our work and report back the bugs!

Well deserved kudos to all the projects listed this year.
Cheers to all of you! Here's to a great 2018!

Congratulations, @DefianceIndustries! Very well deserved. I mean, your project actually makes me wish I had time to play WCP again.

Congrats, @DefianceIndustries, this is one hell of a great-looking project (reveal: I voted for you this year) giving some new youth to an old game!

It was about time that Def gets a well deserved reward from us. He is a hard working wingnut and he supports all the Wing Commander fan projects out there.
Congratulations for everything!

This. I couldn't have gone where I am now without his help. Almost all these nice Border Worlds ships that are not re-coloured Saga assets are his work. Same for the most detailed take on the Dragon/Lance superfighter available to the community.

Thanks!

 

[L.I.F.]

Thanks!

That's the simple truth. You allowed the mod to go to Wing Commander IV instead of being stuck to Wing Commander III and Saga's assets. Plus, frankly, your Intrepid is gorgeous.

The MUP is definitely a team effort

Good point! I've added this quote to the update.
