Development

(Words from Starwolf1991)

Cerberus: Emergance was formerly a four-mission demo campaign released in early 2009. It was later shelved to due to real-life issues and being invited to join the Ancient-Shivan war. Cerberus: Emergence later become the introductory chapter of an attempted revival of the Cerberus campaign, which was revived late 2009.

Since work commenced, the revitalization has so far seen a complete re-write of the plotline and overhaul of the modification's content to bring it up to par with other Freespace 2 Open modificaitons. Emergence is planned to feature a fairly large number of missions telling the story the developing conflict from two different people. Should the chapter be released and become successful, the rest of the story will be completed.

As of Early May 2010, development of Cerberus has been on hiatus due to other commitments by all team members and development of the 3.6.12 ACT 1 re-release for the Ancient-Shivan War.

No further updates given since May.

Description

Accompanying it, the fate of Earth, the survival of three races and their future. As the moments preluding to the final battle unfold, the outcome is clear. Things will never the same again.
