has released another update to his exciting

Prophecy Unlimited

tech kit. The project helps form part of the high tech backbone behind well known projects like the Prophecy & Secret Ops Model Upgrade Pack. This iteration provides a variety of fixes, tests out some potential future features and builds in compatibility for further improvements by other modders. DefianceIndustries is planning to incorporate it into the next MUP, but you can get ahead of the pack and drop the new .dll right into your MPP install with the package

Ok new version which is being reworked a little inside. I'm releasing it now mainly to solve crashes people are seeing but also for development of MUP.

Changes:

• Fixed some incorrect offsets in Secret Ops CD, causing crashes when staring spaceflight
• Replaced wcpunl.cfg with wcpunl.ini
• Removed ultraNightmare
• Added TurretRefireFromBulletIff default to 0

has put together a review of Wing Commander 3 for the 3DO. As you may have heard here a number of times before, the 3DO edition was more than a simple port. A number of aspects were streamlined & improved for consoles, including new missions, color comm VDUs and exotic weapons - as well as the inclusion of FMV missing from the PC release. Many of us are pretty used to seeing the DOS/Windows versions, so it's always kind of a treat to see the 3DO WC3 in action. Even just the HUD fonts, different loading clips, revised menu screens and revamped end credits are pretty cool. The review gives a lot of credit to the production values of the FMV. The quality of the in-game graphics and responsiveness of the controls also get nods. Check it out and see what you've (probably) been missing!

It's been a good week for console ports!

SNES Drunk

has posted their review of Wing Commander for the Super Nintendo. There's a lot to like here, and the author enjoys the art style, background setting, branching missions and most aspects of the gameplay. They especially credit the contribution of the wingmen to the story as well as the impact of their permadeath. The complex controls come off as a low point, but the game has a hard task of condensing all the commands from the PC version into the small SNES dog bone. Overall this is a fair introduction to the game for retro connoisseurs - it's got over 24,000 views in less than a week, so hopefully a few of them are inspired to check the game out!

We also celebrated all things green for St. Patrick’s Day, or should I say Stella Fortuna, with a special edition of the Ursa Rover and a Screenshot contest. We asked you to share your most outrageous in-game party pics and you still have until 11:59PM Pacific tonight to post yours for a chance to win some cool prizes.

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:

On Tuesday the lore team will publish “Congress Now”. Check out previously published lore posts here.

From March 21st to April 11th, we are running a promotion that will provide an additional bonus when opening a Research and Development Pack. When you purchase a Research and Development Pack from the C-Store and open it, you will receive either 10 Lobi Crystals or a Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack in addition to the Research and Development Pack.

Among many other Wing Commander endeavors,

Pedro

is still grinding away in the background on his

WC4 Remaster

project. He reports that there might be some exciting breakthroughs regarding cockpits soon, and

DefianceIndustries

has stepped up to share some of the prototype views. There's still work to go, but these examples are pretty sweet! Who'd like to take this ship out for a spin?

That said Defiance Industries just made me an amazing new cockpit for the Hellcat which I am eager to try out so by spooky coincidence I just started getting back to this project last week (specifically re-adding VR support which the switch to Vulkan broke). I hope to have some nice screenshots of both a VR view and a WC3 style static cockpit (for those who missed the cockpit in WCIV) in a few weeks.Stay tuned.

Maybe Defiance would like to post an image to tide you over?
