[h1]TPS Animations Rework[/h1] After putting in a significant amount of effort,[b] we have successfully revamped all of our uniforms[/b] for the TPS animations rework. The TPS Animation Rework aims to [b]enhance the quality of our game by remaking all the third-person-view and AI animations[/b]. This rework consists of several stages, and we have recently completed a major milestone: a complete overhaul of our uniforms, utilizing a more refined and optimized skeleton system. This new system will greatly improve the fluidity and flexibility of our animations. Now [b]the focus is on creating new animations for this updated rig[/b]. It's worth noting that some of the older animations may appear slightly less polished on this new rig. However, we have already introduced new and improved animations for the no-weapon pose and the rifle pose, and [b]we have plans to introduce fresh animations on a weekly basis[/b] until all of the animations have been reworked. It's important to recognize that while our primary focus is on reworking existing animations, once this phase is completed, we intend to incorporate new animations and systems into the game. [h1]Uniform modding[/h1] Thanks to the revamped TPS rig, [b]creating custom uniform mods for the game has become a straightforward process[/b]. [b]Designing uniform mods for the game is relatively easy[/b] compared to other aspects of modding. It also provides the flexibility to design uniforms with various features, such as long sleeves, short sleeves, or even those that completely cover the hands, such as gloves or creatures that require modeling of the entire arm and hand. Furthermore, this system enables the creation of custom head models, such as hoods or unique creature faces, which can be integrated into your uniform mods. Additionally, custom vests can be designed using this system. Here is an example of modded uniform: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3045183363 If you're interested in learning how to create a modded uniform, we have prepared a simple tutorial for you: [previewyoutube=J2PUqIHkFws;full][/previewyoutube] Also remember that [b]you can learn how to start creating[/b] all other kind of mods [b]by watching this tutorial[/b]: [previewyoutube=PLHL02d4bBI;full][/previewyoutube] It is also it's suggested to join the [url=https://discord.com/invite/ksfaFUfec3]Discord server[/url] where you can confront with other mod makers and with us to learn more about mod making. [h1]Upcoming campaigns[/h1] We've essentially [b]completed the development of the new DLCs for Early War France Invasion and the Late War Battle of the Bulge[/b]! We will now begin a phase of private testing that will last a couple of weeks to ensure everything functions smoothly. Afterward, we will set up Steam pages, and we'll be ready to go![b] Our aim is to release these DLCs by the end of the year,[/b] although we don't have a specific release date yet. To give you a sneak peek, here are some screenshots from the campaigns [b]Early war France inavsion[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/b7d05ab98a99fad11bc63e8ad7fdbf38358e1a77.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/553d81ef4b8784e77505416a10ee524e4a83caab.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/a5d3fd58f080668301809d642dde9c2fbc897a00.jpg[/img] [b]Battle of the Bulge[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/f23fc46b87c6bb5b9ff7a79b23234f7c985c2f63.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/529ec9eb337c0f75331f0157fd99f789d20a4b5f.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/4965bca89c899a43c232981b632cd95fb155f8ad.jpg[/img] [h1]Normandy Campaign[/h1] We released the Normandy Campaign earlier this summer after working on it for over 9 months.
