For further information, read the HLP forum's official FS3 statement. When all of these are taken into account, the conclusion has been that any and all plans regarding FreeSpace 3 are indefinitely shelved. While the main reason is that there's very little hope consensus could be reached regarding any possible storyline or direction, there are also numerous other issues involved. Disregarding the legal issues, the community has universally renounced any such undertaking, due to a multitude of reasons.
Freespace 3 kickstarter code#
While it could be argued that by having the source code available the FreeSpace community could set about creating FreeSpace 3 themselves, no such project has emerged. the emotive consensus " if it ain't by V, it ain't FreeSpace 3".the ownership of Volition has been transferred from Interplay to THQ.Interplay apparently owns the rights to the FreeSpace universe (as of 11-15-2006) ( see below).is the developer of the previous FreeSpace games in the series and is generally held as the only authorative developer The general consensus among the HLP community is that there will never be a FreeSpace3.
Freespace 3 kickstarter license#
In an interview on All Games Radio on October 30 2007, Smart stated that the online controversy surrounding the license ultimately caused him to lose interest in bidding for the license - "there simply was too much noise surrounding the issue" - and that he decided to instead focus on developing a new franchise out of his own game universe. Smart never acquired the license, and at present the license is believed to be owned by Interplay ( see below). In late July, 2004, further news arrived that Smart had decided not to develop FreeSpace 3. According to polls, however, the majority of customers would buy the game regardless of Smart's involvement. This proposal was met with derision from the HLP community the reaction was such that Smart threatened to potentially sue developers and terminate community projects once he had acquired the license, on account of copyright infringement. In early July, 2004, news appeared that controversial game developer Derek Smart, creator of the game Battlecruiser: 3000AD, and active participator in many online forums, was considering bidding for the IP licence with the intent of developing FreeSpace 3.
