Action Packed 'Prelude to Darkness' Begins

lew82 has started a new animated series called Frontier - Prelude to Darkness. The episodes are full of drama and exciting space combat action. It's not a Wing Commander story, but lew was definitely inspired by the series. Although the ships are Confederation craft, they share some design elements that make them nice and familiar. Check out the first three parts at the links below, and help provide feedback for future installments over at Crius.net.

This is a science fiction movie I am making. It is not quite Wing Commander, BUT is totally inspired by it! I grew up on Wing Commander I, II, III, IV and Prophecy - best years of my life!
Part 4 is coming soon! I work on it as we speak! Hope you like it. :)

Making the Game: Web Fiction - Episode 5 Negative

Episode 5's ISDN update includes the rare negative version -- a note that "the Ella system was nearly lost to an onslaught of Aliens that the Confederation was not prepared to confront." The designers seem pretty loathe to let the Nephilim blow up that cool starbase...

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!
