For today's update I would like to talk about the team behind Wing Commander Saga.

Posted by on

With Saga in development for a decade, you can imagine that there has been a lot of flux in the actual membership of the team. If you take a look at Saga’s credits, you’ll get an idea of just how many people have contributed to this project over the years. So, rather than introduce them one by one, I will tell you that this is a diverse group of extraordinarily creative, talented, and driven individuals that have poured their heart into their work over the years, and I believe the results really show. Wing Commander Saga is polished, beautiful, and fun - but most of all it has a soul, and that only comes when you have a crew dedicated to the vision of what they're creating and unwilling to settle for anything less than outstanding.

Massive battles are quite a sight

Some team members (including myself) gave literally ten years to the project because we wanted to play it ourselves. We love Wing Commander, and exploring a new story line in that familiar universe was a welcome opportunity for us. Wing Commander Saga was made as a celebration of a great series and we hoped to get other people as excited about Wing Commander as we are. Our main goals in creating Saga was to provide a strong story that is grounded in the Wing Commander universe and offers compelling characters in thought provoking situations - the very thing that Chris Roberts and his team did so successfully with the original games.

Massive battles are quite a sight The bigger they are...
