Hello,
Please excuse my ignorance if this topic has been previously discussed. I'm a long time WC fan, but I'm new to your community.
One of my favorite WC novels is End Run. This book sets the stage for what could be the greatest WC game ever. If you haven't read this book, I can't recommend End Run highly enough. Please read it if you can.
WARNING! A bit of plot summary is below, so you may want to skip the next paragraph if you haven't read the book. I would hate to detract from someone's enjoyment of this great book.
The covering of the ground assault on Vukar Tag, the magnificent end run with the split Kilrathi fleet in persuit, and the climactic rescue of Tarawa by the Concordia would be fantastic as a game. I think it would be great to see a severely battle damaged Tarawa with the inscription "First to Kilrah" on the side as a closing scene of the winning path.
I've tried to create some of the missions using Academy, but there is no way to render the ships as they are in the book, such as the Tarawa..
I'd be happy with just the WC2 engine. I've got experience writing in C++ and native 88 doing physics routines for some popular pinball sims, as well as the physics for a major golf sim about 10 years ago. I was hoping that there would be sufficient interest by some Wing Nuts who are graphicly skilled to render the ships as in the novel. I am not a graphic artist, but was hoping there might be a couple End Run fans who would want to render some ships.
Please let me know if you have any interest, opinions, or suggestions.
Thank You,
MK
