DEVELOPMENT NEWS #1: Orchestra Announcement + News

Project Wingman

Project Wingman is a flight action game that lets you take the seat of advanced fighter jets and become a true ace. Fight in various missions and gamemodes ranging from intense aerial dogfights to large scale ground assault in an alternate scorched earth setting.

Still, this small update will probably be a prelude to more updates over these specific items that we’ll use to continue Project Wingman development. Let’s get some stuff up: [h1]Live Orchestra Announcement[/h1] Project Wingman wouldn’t be the game that it is if it wasn’t for our Jose Pavli’s outstanding soundtrack, and, recognizing that entirely, what better way to fully embrace this epic soundtrack with live orchestration and medley of the OST? Well, we’ll have such a performance coming up for you soon! Recorded in a legendary studio, the defining hits of Project Wingman will be heard like never before beneath Jose’s new compositions. [previewyoutube=EfGQPREsyGU;full][/previewyoutube] When the Orchestra releases it will be publically hosted on yours truly [b]Jose Pavli's YouTube channel[/b] for all to listen to! Additionally, high quality files will be available on [b]Bandcamp[/b] for free once the footage releases. Please look forward to it! In case you missed it, recently the Peacekeeper tracks were released on youtube with its intros! Go take a listen!

When Project Wingman was released over a year ago, its 1.0 version was at a good state for a release, especially given our ability at the time. However, that being said, there is always more to be done underneath the sun. This update to a 1.5 version includes numerous aircraft and weapon additions on top of balancing and tweaking to the existing inventory. Quality of life additions for localization, existing VO, and UI are also on the way to both the traditional versions and VR versions of Wingman.

[h1]The Future[/h1] We’re not done with Project Wingman. As far as the future of Project Wingman and Sector D2 goes, Project Wingman itself is still being worked on beyond this patch, and much of the groundwork for further development will be released in 1.5. On our list next is a Conquest Overhaul, truly taking a look at what will make Conquest a much more refined and polished experience beyond its rather ramshackle existence today. Beyond that, of course, the groundwork for future development is already well underway, and when we’re comfortable showing it off, you’ll be the first to know.

Truth be told, we’re looking forward to the next year and however long we can work on Project Wingman and the horizons beyond that. As we said above, there’s still so much more to do, and we’re glad to do it. We’ll see you soon, and thank you again for sticking with us on this fantastic project, wingman. In case you haven't pick up Project Wingman yet, or are looking for a cool game to gift your friends, the game is currently 30% off at the time of this update!
