Wingman!? Left CIG to start his own company

Que · Nov 7, 2014

Interesting things are happening.

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/55014878

copy/paste of some know details from https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitize...man_is_broadcasting_live_about_his_brand_new/

http://peezocker.com/ for the temporary website/forums. They will be changing at some point in the future.

He says the company is made up completely of ex-CIG employees so far, including Mike Morlan.

Jason Spangler, Elijah Mcneil and Chris Olivia are all part of the team. Wingman's Son is part of the team as well.

300 Years into the future. Players take the role of Resource Agents, trying to get our hands on resources to make money.

Game-play and mechanics will be similar to the classic game Descent. 6 DOF. Fly around tight spaces and through tunnels.

4-5 Ships to fly at launch. (Stealth Ships, repair/support ships, gun play, mining ships)

Several game modes. Create your own Corporation, play single player or multiplayer.

Burrow through the ground in order to find secrets and upgrade your ships.

Will be crowd-funded and community made. Looking for people to help make the game and be people like community managers. Not looking for money yet.

Still figuring out which engine to use. Looking at unreal 4, and leaning in that direction.

Looking to Ship the first version of the game withing ONE YEAR. Company started just two days ago. Already have a ship flying around on screen.

Have a hangar or garage, such as World of Tanks, to upgrade weapons and engines and other parts. More arcade like and less hardcore of a flight model.

Have a name in mind for company, but are looking for ideas from the community.

New show like Wingman's Hangar will be coming out for this game. Called something like Wingman's Basement.

Mod tools will be available as soon as game is released

Will sell map-packs after game is released.

Looking to make a companion App for the game as well, which would allow you to map out areas and find things.

Voxel-based mining system

Track-IR and Oculus rift will be supported.

Looking at have 60 people or so playing at once in a game.

Regarding Star Citizen

Still a huge supporter, and will continue to Support Chris Roberts and his vision.

No truth to any of the rumors on the forums. He is happy to be his own boss again, and fully supports Chris's decision to do whatever he needs to do to make his vision happen.

Happy to have helped form CIG, and will continue to support Star Citizen in the future

Would not be surprised if on his new show to have segments about Star Citizen, as he still cares about its future.

More like Descent, with 6DOF.

Damn, with news like this, what is Interplay doing by keeping the FreeSpace2 rights buried >.<
