Apologies for the reddit link, I generally don’t link to reddit, but I felt an exception was called for in this case.

    Yeah, it’s definitely grown in scope from the initial goals.

    Wing Commander III was a lot of fun for me, and the main reason why I backed SQ42/SC. So I expect the game to have a lot of cutscenes and storyline happening between missions as we return to our main ship.

    I am very satisfied with what we saw at the most recent CitizenCon.

    The game won’t be for everyone, but I’m expecting it to have a good storyline and some fun action between the long cutscenes. Plus it should have a lot of the features that we’re currently missing in SC due to performance issues (like Maelstrom, fire physics, working atmospheric changes, etc.).

      I just re-read my comment and realized it sounded critical when I just meant it doesn’t seem surprising. I did back the project because I love the Wing Commander franchise.

      But I do think SQ42 (or what I’ve recently been hearing as “SQ42: Episode 1” or similar) grew too much at the expense of SC. I want that cinematic space war game, that then lets then me live the world after its over. And I’m afraid the PU won’t be in a state that can be that for total newbies when Squadron first lands.
