About The FreeSpace Source Code Project

In the first half of 2002 Volition did what every FreeSpace fanatic dreamed they would - announce FreeSpace3? Not quite, but something ranked second in importance: they released the source code to Freespace2 on an unsuspecting but very hopeful community.
Since then a whole host of ideas, concepts and fixes have been knocking around the community which spawned this: The largest community driven project around. The FreeSpace Source Code Project.

Concieved by FreeSpace Watch, this is a joint project between them and Hard Light Productions, uniting the entire community to take the basic source code and add the fixes and features that the community wants. The main site and downloads are hosted on FreeSpace Watch, and the forums on Hard Light Productions.

We here at the FSSCP have added a host of new gameplay and graphical features. The addition of scores of mission special expressions allow designers an unprecedented level of mission scripting possibilities. The code has been ported to include the latest in graphical technology, including Hardware Transformation and Lighting as well as specular highlighting and advanced lighting features.

The result? A truly spectacular gaming experience for designers and players both.

The FSSCP hopes you will enjoy the fruits of our labor as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you.
