Hi folks,

we hope you are all having a great May the Fourth and are doing well!

It's this time again that we had really hoped to be able to release something for you, but things sadly got in the way. It turns out that even with 2024 we pretty much broke the game engine. At this point the game is pretty unstable and adding more eye candy to it is just no longer possible. We have identified the underlying issues and our local tech wizards @JeremyaFr and @blue_max are working very hard on creating new ways to push the game even further.

We hope to be able to show you more soon, but as always things will most likely take longer that we want. But if this new tech works out we'll have even more possibilities and you guys will hopefully have an even greater experience.

With that we have another small teaser for you guys. @MechDonald (creator of the incredible HD concourse images) is working on something new that will blow your minds!



Have a great day and hope to show you more, soon!

Thanks to @Angel for hosting the teaser on the TFTC youTube channel!

Sounds like you guys need to work harder... JK. I myself absolutely appreciate all the work the team has put into this mod. The VR support alone is bringing me alot of enjoyment. Look forward to seeing what else the team is able to release. Many Thanks.

Revenge of the 5th!

A little sneak peek past the upcoming release.

Full disclaimer: This is still a work in progress and at this point, inclusion in the next patch is tentative at best.

That updated video looks freaking awesome! I've always had trouble with the older videos, even back in the 90s. The voices always seemed off from the movements and mouth animations. Even with XWAU I still have trouble with the cutscenes. I'm hoping a new modern refresh will help stream line them. Keep up the great work!
