The creator of Wing Commander, Strike Commander, Privateer and
Freelancer is about to announce a game he has been working on for more
than an year. The website <http://robertsspaceindustries.com/start/> has
a countdown timer currently set to end on October 10.

You can enter the access-code on the website (it'll give hints each time
you guess wrong) to get the following message.

"Welcome!

If you’ve made it here, you probably know who I am. Maybe you have heard
of Wing Commander and its sequels, or perhaps Strike Commander,
Privateer or Freelancer.

If not, you’re still welcome!

I grew up making video games. I sold my first game at the age of 13 and
created Wing Commander when I was 21. But 10 years ago, at the height of
my career I took a break. Not because I stopped loving or playing games
but because I had become frustrated with the limits of the technology at
the time to realize my vision.

I decided to pursue my desire to create detailed worlds and tell
sophisticated stories in film.

I always said the moment I became interested in making games again was
when I was going to come back.

With the power of today’s computers and the reach of the internet I
finally feel I have the tools to build the connected experience that I
always dreamed of. A world that would be more satisfying and richer than
any film I could work on.

With films you tell stories but with games you create worlds.

If you’ve played my games, you’ll know that’s what I love to do.

I’m here to tell you that I have been working on something for just
under a year, something that embraces everything that my past games
stood for but takes it to the next level.

I hope you’ll be as excited by it as I am.

My new endeavor is still in its early stages but I invite you to take
the journey with me.

If you register below you’ll become an insider that will not only give
you early access to the game’s website and forums, but you will also get
the opportunity for rewards and privileges that no one else will get.
It’s my way of showing how important your early involvement and support is.

The full announcement will be at 10am Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5) on
the 10th day of the 10th month of this year.

My name is Chris Roberts.

And if you would indulge me I would like to create a world for you."
