Team Fusion Release

[Buzzsaw]

Hello to the Community

 

Team Fusion continues to make progress on our Visual Update/VR implementation, as well as our new TF 6.0 DLC, FORTRESSES AND FOCKE-WULFS – DIEPPE.  👍

 

Unfortunately although we did have every intention in meeting our hoped for release date...  due to circumstances beyond our control, the DLC will not be released in 2024.

 

The reason… a loss of critical team members.

 

Primarily to competitors who can provide compensation in a more timely manner… unlike Team Fusion, these competitors have access to direct funding and can pay salaries up front, Team Fusion’s license does not allow that… we can only provide revenue share after publication.  We have also lost members to simple attrition… TF members who find real life demands in the form of work pressures or family demands preclude them continuing their work.

 

The good news is we have recruited multiple very talented new members into the team to replace those we lost, and these new members are now integrated and working on tasks.  However, it does take time to learn our complex 3D modeling systems and/or how to work with the CLIFFS source code and these new members have required some time to come up to speed... beginning with smaller tasks and learning.

 

As mentioned, we are continuing to make steady progress, obviously not at the pace we had hoped for, but we are still confident we will complete both the Visual Update/VR and TF 6.0.

 

We will release updates and information on our progress as soon as we have material to present.

 

At this point we will not announce a release date for either the VU/VR or TF 6.0, sufficient to say we will get them into the community’s hands as soon as possible.

 

For those who might wonder… although we have looked carefully and in detail at the idea of an “Early Access” release, i.e. a release with incomplete content, this is not possible under the terms of our license.  Neither is the option of crowd-funding.

 

 

Thanks to all for your patience… Team Fusion remains committed to our work and the development of the CLIFFS game engine and new content.  👋
