The Darkest Dawn is Almost Upon Us
FROM: Rear Admiral Tolwyn, CINCWEAPONSDIVISION
DATE: 2012.29.01
We have reached an important milestone that has been a very long time in the making. All 50 of the missions in the main campaign are now finalized; The Darkest Dawn is now complete! We still have a bit of work ahead of us before Saga is ready to launch. We are currently working on significantly updating the missions of the prologue campaign (with updated game play, improved missions, refined dialogue, more characters in game, and a few other things to bring it up to par with the main campaign) which will be included as a small, introductory campaign in the full Saga package. We are going through our final rounds of beta tests, making sure everything is fully polished and as bug-free as possible for launch.
Keep your eyes open for a release date announcement soon!

Thank you can't wait!
Great work Saga Team!I can only imagine how many times in the past you all felt like giving up in front of the mammoth work that had to be done to make a great mod like this (is it even fair to call this jewel a "mod" since everything, even the main game engine, is beeing so much changed from the original Freespace 2 :-P)
Tolwyn, you and your team should all be proud of what you have achived in all those years. This game will certainly raise the bar for Freespace modders and give all the community renowed motivation to do even better in the future.
WC is ALIVE again! As for the Kilrathi....they just become an endangered spieces again :-)))
Best of luck with the final touches!
P.S. One question: ss I belive the final version will have quite a big download file (2-3 GB perhaps?), will you make the game available in more smaller packages (like 500mb each?) or will it be a single big file?

Not that we have decided on the distribution method, but I am pretty certain that the final package will be ~ 3.5 GB in size.
awesome news. what an incredible undertaking. You have a lot of fans out here
Wow. That piece of news just brightened my day here, and I'd like to join everybody here to congratulate you on a fantastic work. The WCSaga Demo is already among the best space shooter games done, and I can't even imagine what the final release will look like. But still, managing that feat is IMHO a milestone for Wingnuts, because it will show the IP owners that, yes, even in the 2010s, great space shooters can still be done, great stories can still be told. So thank you all!
