it's been a while since the last news on our wing commander mod for nexus. this was mostly due to the fact that i redid large portions of the mod.
the problem was my story. it was the main and only reason why i ever wanted to make a wing commander mod for nexus(or any WC mod).
unfortunately, when i wrote it, i had only a pretty vague idea of the wing commander universe as a whole. i had played wc1, but i had no idea about the background (partly because my "version" did not include a manual or anything). so i created my own.
the more i learned about the canon wc universe, however, the more i realized that apart from a few spooky analogies, it did not really fit together, which caused a dilemma: on the one hand i like the wc universe far to much to just go and present an "alternate timeline" kind of thing, but i also did not want to just drop my story.
what i basically did now was to take up the thread where the canon history of the wc universe ends, in the middle of the bug war, and i spun it on to fill the gap to the point in time i had originally intended my story to take place, in 4013.
WC:T is now called "Wing Commander: Messia"
i have tried to keep a visual style very close to that of wc 1 and 2, but also enjoy the freedom to develop the story and universe i had originally intended.
i know most of you will say something like "WTF???" , but please take a look before you judge.
you can find a detailed "history" of wc:me here
a whole load of screenshots of confederation vessels can be found here
and last but not least, a few shots of the mysterious enemy are here
enjoy
