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... #starwars #tiefighter #xwing #gaming #pcgaming #flightsim #vrgaming

"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 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu3x...

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 😎 #starwars #tiefighter #xwing #gaming #flightsim #modding #lucasarts #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=C47b...

A long overdue #TFTC project update video. Topics include: v1.4 Patch Engine Optimisations Gameplay Changes TFTC v2.0 (aka Rebalance Project) OtaKing's intro cutscene sneak peak. The XWVM Alpha release. #starwars #tiefighter #gaming #flightsim youtu.be/y-xTjBoAsCw

Meanwhile the #TFTC rebalance (or what will eventually be Reimagined v2.0), an updated overhaul for Starship combat. Posted a few tests on my YT channel, but here's a full mission test of the v1.4 version of B8M5 "Trapped!" #starwars #tiefighter #xwing youtu.be/RnBoA9U689Q

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. #starwars #tiefighter youtu.be/916UCzyRgMU

#MayThe4th be with you all! Here, from the XWAU team, is a sneak peak of the complete remake of the opening cutscene from XWA, coming soon in the XWAU 2025 update. youtu.be/JGPkAMgkPBM #starwars #xwing #tiefighter #gaming #flightsim #vrgaming #modding #lucasarts #pcgaming

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. #starwars #tiefighter #xwing #gaming #lucasarts #vrgaming #flightsim youtu.be/H1kUvguGK3o

I do like making Capital Ships fight each other 😎 #starwars #tiefighter #xwing #gaming #flightsim #vrgaming #lucasarts #modding youtu.be/fod9C7z9UM8

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 😎 #tiefighter #xwing #modding

#1 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🧵 #starwars #tiefighter #gaming

About to start a livestream, won't last too long probably but will be doing some boring all dev work and testing. If interested, pop on by! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYgo...

In case you missed it, after working on this project for many years in 2D, here are the highlights of my first time ever playing #TFTC in #VR. A very memorable experience! #starwars #tiefighter #xwing #flightsim #lucasarts #vrgaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf8p...

I'm shortly about to go live and stream myself trying out #TFTC in #VR for the first time. So feel free to come watch me fail at everything if interested here 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIHm... 📷

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

The Zone is such a hauntingly beautiful (and dangerous) place... youtu.be/ebGH88YuGX0

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!

Continuing the adventure through the ruined Black Mesa facility youtu.be/LgF6DeJtOgY

ModDB's 2024 Mod of the Year voting has begun. If you're interested in supporting the mod, lend us a vote! Lets at least get the top 100 again if not the top 10 😀 www.moddb.com/mods/tie-fig...

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. youtu.be/PG-5pAdlPXw

I present my final thoughts on Star Trek: Bridge Commander after my long Let's Play: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNgJ... Next up, Half-Life 1!

Another, more distinct test for new flak audio. Made some further adjustments to the flak sounds themselves, bit more boom and a bit less pop. #tiefighter #starwars #xwing #gaming #pcgaming #tftc www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4OB...

The Rebalance project continues moving forward slowly. The past few days I've been doing a fair number of changes to B2M2 Reimagined, where you stop a Ripoblus attack on a Dimok station. This has always been a somewhat problematic mission to balance but I'm getting there!

So with thanks to those who recommended, I found some audio use and tried change the background 'flak' audio going on. Did a quick and dirty video comparison but its not overly clear, I need to do a more controlled test. youtu.be/418j28SnRYE

Completed my Let's Play of Bridge Commander. A review of it will come soon, but I will say it definitely does not come close to beating Klingon Academy for me. It has its moments, but the vanilla gameplay is kinda boring and plot is by the numbers. Mods make it good. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The new tutorials for what will become TFTC v2.0, showcase both how the new rebalanced mechanics function and serve as a much more in-depth and layered tutorialisation for players both new and old. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #tiefighter #xwing #gaming #starwars

Interesting that our twitter account, with over 1100 followers, didn't get me any real responses other than a suggestion to use AI, for the question about audio help I posted earlier. With barely any following here, I got several good suggestions quite quickly! Thank you 🙂

Any audiophiles/devs out there know a good free source of sound effects as a pack download (rather than individual file downloads), particularly explosions big and small, maybe flak explosions that sort of thing?

Luminous beings are we, not this invalid handle.

So its alleged that the TIE Avenger (aka TIE Advanced) is getting a live action introduction. Though not confirmed yet I think, I'm interested to see its introduction. Our model has two variants (the Mk1 and Mk2) created by DTM. #starwars #andor #tiefighter #xwing #gaming #vrgaming #flightsim

Need to try and post here more often. If you haven't already, give us a follow if you're interested in the TIE Fighter Total Conversion project! Take a look at our trailer from 2021 :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEVr... #starwars #tiefighter #gaming #pcgaming #vrgaming #flightsim #modding #lucasarts

The 1.3.4a micro-patch for #TFTC has been released. This addresses a frequent AV issue which has been causing false-positive alerts with our DLL files over the last few months. Download from our ModDB page! youtube.com/watch?v=6UCz... #starwars #tiefighter #xwing #flightsim #gaming

So here we are on BlueSky! I got the invite some weeks ago and setup then promptly forgot it existed. But will try to start posting updates here now as well. Make sure to follow us if you're interested in #TFTC! #tiefighter #starwars #xwing #gaming #pcgaming #lucasarts #vrgaming #flightsim

And here's some #TFTC Reimagined footage with it's rebalance, using the infamous B7M1 fleet battle. Updated with a stunning new low orbit backdrop and very intense fleet combat. I kept getting distracted by how pretty it all was 😅 #starwars #tiefighter www.youtube.com/watch?v=onDi...
