Fall News - Battlefront Ultimate Commander mod for Star Wars Battlefront II

Hey everyone! Welcome back.

So let's start right away!

As some of you may know the summer was rough real-life wise. Mid-September I had the chance to find a job, it doesn't pay much and I'm actually obliged to work 10~12 hours a day to get a decent salary. Before anyone critics me out I am glad of this new situation. And I do not complain I'm just being honest so people can understand why I barely give news on ModDB.

Even though these people aren't devs I'd like to thanks AQT for greatly helping with BUC as our team was a little shrink. Nothing new for the discord members but CT-108 is no longer a BUC developer (only Allumette and I remain). I'd like to thanks Clock, Gogie and Needo for the help they provided as well.

On the bright side I do plan to bring another BUC release soon. How soon you may ask? For now we won't do release dates until they're very close, and even then make it clear that they're probably going to change. If it can help I roughly aim for a ~November-December release. That's all I can say.

-End of the introduction,

What's new?

I spent a great amount of time writing down a super precise change-log. I swear, if people don't read it and ask a stupid question answered by the change-log I will not answer the comment. I might even erase it. You think it's dumb? Well I don't think so given my job schedule. I clearly don't have time for this.

  New Republic Legion: 21st Nova Corps Map design ported from the SWBF II Xbox DLC (the DLC's content was ripped since the assets for it were not released)
