Hello everyone, I've released a video where I talk extensively about the upcoming Reimagined campaigns 9 to 13 which are still missing from the TIE Fighter Total Conversion (TFTC) project. I have of course been giving some occasional brief updates in previous videos and some throwaway comments in the Let's Play series I've done as well as some sneak peak screenshots in Discord here and there, but suffice to say they will differ significantly more than their Classic counterparts, so I'll take you through my general plans and ideas going forward.If you would like to keep spoiler free or as much in the dark as to what you might get in 9-13, then stop reading and watching now. Please also bear in mind that some of this will be subject to change as the design work evolves.
Battles 9-13 will represent a significant deviation from the Classic versions of this storyline. While it will still have the same overall plot beats and framework regarding the civil war against Zaarin's forces and our dip into the Endor plotline, how we get there and what happens within those plot beats will be considerably different and grander in scale. There will also be a lot less reliance on the Missile Boat with you soloing the entire enemy force. The new GPU based DDraw has opened up greater possibilities and flexibility in mission design for me so I'm bearing this in mind going forward. Most notably is that every single mission is being created from scratch rather than expanding any existing missions. This also means that it takes longer to do each mission, whereas a significant number of mission in the current Reimagined campaign were simply expansions in scope and scale of existing mission templates. Please do go watch my Let's Play videos for better context of how I went through the design process of each mission. Otherwise for more detailed information, please watch the above video. Thank you!
Does this mean you plan to remake some of campaigns 1-8?
Thats what Reimagined 1-8 already does, but to a lesser extent. I have however already remade B4M2 completely and done some extensive changes to 3-4 other missions for v1.3. I don't plan however to go back and remake every mission in Battles 1-8.
Thanks for your continued work on this. Amazing job!!!
I've just went through missions 1-8 and can't wait for the finale. Great job! Great mod!
oh yea...........oh hell yea............
Looking forward to it. Just got done with 1-8, GREAT JOB!!!
Looking forward to play the rest of the campaigns!
Any release date yet?
