New video! This time taking a look at the new remake of B3M3-R: Hold Position - a bastard of a mission in the OG but its Reimagined version isn't all that different and felt it needed a proper remake.

136 Employees gutted out of under 200 at id Software. I guess Microsoft now think its ready to pump out those DOOM, Quake and Wolfenstein games quicker now.

Microsoft: We want more DOOM, Quake and Wolfenstein games more regularly.

Also Microsoft: Lay off 50% of id Software including core teams of people responsible for some of the quality games we got over the years.

Sounds like a winning strategy to me...

The intro cutscene made for us by the famous Paul "Otaking" Johnson is still coming one day! The animation itself was completed over a year ago, almost finished being scored, then SFX work needs doing. It will be released along with the final completion of Reimagined.

Exciting news for #TFTC, the final hurdle for Classic being true to the OG as possible - questions and answers that will change depending on goals completed. The Secret Order can now be moved back to being optional hidden content to be found.

B8M5 in Reimagined will now be B8M6! Only mission not getting a remake, just some minor changes needed. Best showcase of how Starship combat works now that I've implemented to the engine over the last few months.

Latest new mission design, finally fully playable after few days work and directly leading into the subsequent mission after this. One more mission to finish remaking, then the Battle 8 redesign will be largely completed!

Showcasing B8M1 remake, part of the Battle 8 campaign redesign. Unlike the previous two, this is still the same premise as the original but a lovely spectacle now I think (and quite tough!)

Another new Battle 8 mission as part of the complete remake of this campaign. Back at the now re-designed GEC Base from B6M3 (which is also getting a complete remake), it will now take center stage in the latter half of the battle!

I think this is a pretty fair critique of TFTC Reimagined🙂

Lots still to come for it though, plenty of changes and new content. Rebalance 0.2.0 Alpha is available to test now from the installer manager!
