Did some #TFTC Classic livestreaming last night as I begin testing the first build for the upcoming v1.4 release. It's a little dry and boring, but if you're interested, its here 🙂 www.youtube.com/live/CEwOF-S...

"AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations"

I saw this quote and I love it.

To be clear, TFTC will not use any form of gen AI in any of its assets, voice, art, music etc. Human crafted only.

Creating some absolutely lovely new mood lighting with these new skyboxes, along with the higher resolution and detailed backgrounds, the lighting is being affected as well. All this will be coming in v1.4! #tftc #starwars #xwing #tiefighter #gaming #pcgaming #flightsim #vrgaming

The new 'CubeMap' skybox rendering is working out now even for Low Orbit backdrops. This new method updates the vanilla way of making backdrops, allowing for higher resolution, seamless 360 degree scenes with no 'jitter' #starwars #tiefighter #xwing #gaming #pcgaming

Happy #TillysGameversary 🎁 to Windows 95, released on this day, 1995.

Windows 95 was the most expensive meta advertising campaign in history.

An ‘operating system’ built only to market the Weezer single, Buddy Holly, Windows 95 was actually a serviceable OS in its own right, proving quite popular.

I was thinking last night, looking at the original v1.0 trailer of TFTC to what it looks like now, everything just looks even more beautiful than ever 😎

On a whim, I decided to start tinkering with the XWA Endor mission (Using a beta version of XWAU 2025). This is a ROUGH draft, using some edited sound clips from RotJ. I may include this to TFTC as a bonus mission in the future.

As #TFTC v1.4 continues beta testing, I take a cinematic flyby of B2M5-R: The Battle of Sepan. I do my best to try and capture the feel of a good Star Wars space battle.

The XWAU team have been working to make the whole process of finding, installing and updating both the #XWAU and #TFTC mods, a much easier time with a new installer manager tool. It will also help us to deliver patches to fix issues more reliably 😎

Another old bug has been discovered in X-Wing Alliance that is actually quite a bad bug when it comes to game balance, and may explain why the vanilla game can be quite difficult. What is this bug you ask? Its to do with the AI Skill level. A🧵

The last of the revamped tutorials for Reimagined - the Missile Boat. A unique craft that deserved some more unique gameplay. Still honouring that one-man army mentality, yet also hopefully keeping the gameplay interesting with new mechanics to consider youtu.be/Le-gp2prNrw

Definitely something to be said about using actual real models as opposed to CGI ones, no matter how good CGI can look (currently), it doesn't quite capture the real feel and look of miniatures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GddG...

Hmm largest combat map yet? Meet a remake of B3M4 Reimagined! This asteroid field stretches 150km end to end (though the actual core of the mission in this region only takes place in the central area. This engine could never have had a field of this scale in the past!

Time to play some #halflife as my next LP series after the trifecta of Starfleet Academy, Klingon Academy and Bridge Commander. Hoping to eventually compare this and Black Mesa in the context of my own reimagining of TIE Fighter.
