TFS - Mid-year update 2025

[BlitzPig_Bill_Kelso]

At a certain point, it's time to move on. The Great Battles series averages a few hundred players a day and CloD competes with the original IL2 1946 with a little more than a dozen players a day.

It's dead Jim...

If they can just get Truesky, a Lanc and VR everything will be all right. Never surrender to the naysayers.

Launch a crowdfunding campaign, use the money raised to become the owner of the source code, acquire the publishing rights, hire a team of developers, a team of 2D artists, sound engineers, a few aeronautical engineers, a historian specialising in WW II, and any other skilled individuals you deem useful to finally release the game to your liking and within your timeframe.

The advantage is that you already have a potential CM (but he may be volatile).
Good luck.

Team Fusion are already doing this, they have everything under control and know what they're doing.

[ST_Catchov]

Let's not be too hasty. Just because they have everything under control and know what they're doing doesn't mean everything is ok.

You are wrong and speaking without knowing.

[marcost]

So nothing is under control and they don't know what they're doing. Good update, thanks

[Dagwoodyt]

What the TFS business entity is doing is trying to squeeze a little more profit out of an old and exhausted DWT. It does this by promising DLC's that the TFS business structure cannot ever seem to deliver. 

      Is there really a "Team" in TFS or is the business entity just a sole proprietor soliciting "volunteers" who form an entirely different group having no control relative to the TFS  "business"?

Don't be mad at me, but the new DLC didn't come out for several reasons. It's already been written here that the main 3D aircraft modeler died unexpectedly, he made most of the models. And secondly, the problem with the crappy VR hasn't been solved. So I don't understand why you keep going back on the promise of a release when the team was still complete without complications (2024) . You keep talking about it here like market bums. It's like I could complain for 20 years that the single player isn't finished, especially in the campaign statistics, kill counts, etc. But I know they have a lot of things to do and not just releasing the new DLC. And it's already been said here that VR, true sky and other things will be solved first and only then the new DLC will be released. Just wait.

Does TFS "own" the CloD source code? Does TFS "own" anything other than its' own incorporation documents and the rights to intellectual property contributions given to it by unpaid "volunteers" ?

- TFS members know what they're doing.

- No, they don't control everything. Some things are in other hands.

 

[Dagwoodyt]

Why bring that lack of civility back?

[354thFG_Leifr]

He isn't in control, and doesn't know what he's doing.

[II./JG27_Rich]

I would just like a little more info that's all. Even if it could be once every two months.

Those that seek to frustrate the frustrated might want to consider who is doing the greatest dis-service to the future of the game.

 

Frustrated customers are better than no customers, but everyone gives up at some point.

Guys, stop the personal attacks and name-calling. First warning.

If you are going to show your frustration, try to do it in a polite manner, even if it's harder. 🙂

I know Blade, but this leads to thing get heated and then some nasty things happen!

Please, just try no to attack anybody! We can all share our hope and frustration withouth that. 
(Of course not referred to you, Blade! but to the whole crowd)

Kind regards,

I don't think that Team members should be expected to provide status information to TFS' customers. I suspect that they get only carefully curated information from leadership. As a customer I think that the only parties who should sense an obligation to provide status info to customers are those parties who received the sales proceeds and made promises to customers. 

   If anyone does want to speak on behalf of TFS though I'd appreciate some sort of badge that would clearly identify them as a TFS "Team" member.
