Hey guys. Again thanks for your hard work. I was a backer so I have the Epic version are there any particular requirements for installing the mod manually?
Theres no reason this isnt more popular. Maybe Phoenix Point is a bit older by now, but this, even just on its surface, looks like an entirely new experience. Like Long War 2 from XCom2
I was a Bronze tier backer of Phoenix Point. This may just be enough to convince me to come back. Phoenix Point had a lot of problems, I'm sad to say. It's hard for me to see how they can mod their way out of it, but hope springs eternal, and all that. I'm glad they're bringing back Oneiric Delirium, especially, because that was such a core element of the game and I was very sad to see it go.
@@mannys7290 Totally agree. So much to love, but it was too unfinished. It feels more like a template for a game system with a proof of concept, rather than a full game itself. A bunch of slapdash systems put together with a coat of finish to make it seem cohesive, but it falls apart quickly under examination. And sadly, mods can only work with what is already there, not add more new elements, which is what the game SORELY needed. Still, I'm interested enough to give it a look. I didn't even get the Khaos or Corruption DLCs because I was disillusioned with things, so it might be neat seeing what the modding team's managed to pull off.
I feel guilty, I was one of the people who encouraged the devs to change the ODI. I'm surely not the only one. You can't blame me, can you? I hope I don't get doxxed for this.
@@markrichards7377 ...No. Don't even kid about something like that. Anyway, I guess it's just a matter of creative design. I liked it one way, others liked it differently. It's just flavor in the end, but this game is all about flavor. It had the right tone with ODI, then I feel like it got watered down by changing it into the Human Population Census instead. I actually liked being able to see the ODI meter going up or down in response to events occurring in the world. A nest being destroyed, or a haven going dark. It gave the world such a dark and Lovecraftian feel.
@@eltsoldier I was also not really able to get into it. For me, one of the big things was that the classes and weapons didn't really feel very different- everything felt a bit bland/homogenous. The faction items/weapons also seems just a bit weird and didn't fit in great. Hopefully the class differentiation in this mod will be better.
Ladies and gentlmen.... 2024 is looking to be the year of Indie Devs, modders, and everyone who is passionate about making the games they want to make.... Pheonix Point was a massive passion for my younger self, and I thought it was completely dead.... The Terror From the Void team has my thanks for getting me back into Pheonix point. The moment I have time and motivation to redownload PP I'll download the mod and put in some hours. Thanks again for y'all's hard work. -A fan. Edit: I have played the mod and it is absolutely amazing. Great job guys, so proud of you.
Love it or hate it 🤷♂️. But imo even vanilla Phoenix Point was absolutely awesome with everything patched + the DLCs 🙏! You’re on the edge of your seat and about to be overrun all the time in this game. Maybe not in the late game and when you mastered it 🤣. But it is just so tactically deep with all the multi classing and you can feel the love that went into this game by Julian coming out of every pore. It is just a phenomenally unique experience and call me crazy but I even liked the repetitiveness which just got me into an even more zen state while playing 🔥! I even downloaded all the Lore Stories printed them out and absolutely devoured them 😂. A damn shame that a refined sequel is likely to never happen 😖. I’ll take Phoenix over the new XComs any day ✊! It is one of my favorite tactical games of all time 💪! And now I’m so freakin’ beyond excited to start an another fresh run with Terror from the Void 🫡! Let’s go!!! 🛸💨🔥
@@OrangeNash hopefully not, but it would be nice to see at least some form of attribution considering they used pretty much their entire song here, and at a glance, I'm not seeing that attribution anywhere up here on this TH-cam presentation.
@@TerrorFromTheVoid Thanks for clarifying. I see there's a credit up there now, which is all I imagine most artists/musicians would ask for. Love the choice of song and will have to try out the new mod. 🙂
Отличная новость. Вы проделали просто огромную работу. Я надеюсь Etermes будет ее стримить или записывать прохождение, я был невероятно впечатлен его высокими навыками в этой игре.
The new allies got me interested, is there anyway i read more about it. Something I like a lot in RTS is having allies actively helping on the field. While is less common on tactical turn base games, I think is cool when games like xcom 2, Phoenix point and xenonauts give you opportunities to work with them. I just don't like the games don't usually let you work with them as often (I wish factions could fight off the pandorans better on their own, both on the field and the geoscape without player intervention. Or at least give more opportunities to the player to aid them).
Well we use that comparison but in fact the mod is very different from LW, it does not make the game longer (probably makes it shorter) and it caters to new players (newcomers with no prior experience with PP will have a good time with TFTV) adding difficulties that are both easier than easiest vanilla difficulty and harder than hardest. The best way to describe this mod is it's trying to make original game complete, polished and more balanced.
Oh, cool! Thx for sharing. Maybe with the Mod i will play till the end. For now i lost Track on both my runs (one before Year one release and one after that) after getting my third base. Track = fun Would be nice if the redundanz would be decreased of the midgame.
You'll find many changes, for example early game scavengers have a more relevant presence, later Forsaken will appear, and the Pure even later. Also humans have tactics, and Pandorans thanks to Revenants and Void Oments, so they improve over time.
I liked the theme of the game, but I found that in the end it's just a race for skill points and weaponry. You have to go faster than the monsters to hit harder. I find that more reconnaissance options to build your strategy would be more interesting.. Stealth characters, drones etc...
I am a console player. I am loving Phoenix point so far, still completing my first playthrough on hero and I can't say enough good things. This looks great, too bad I won't get a chance to play. Maybe they will make it official dlc. Great job though I have watched a lot of stuff about this mod and it seems fantastic like war of the chosen. I love this even more Lovecraftian feel. Best of luck to everyone involved.
Looks like the mod will deliver for sure. I never played the original, though I just received the game on console for Christmas. Maybe this will force me to get it on Steam at some point.
I am tempted to try this mod. The vanilla game has many flaws though and I am not sure this resolves the ones that matter most to me. Number 1 being by the time you research counters to evolved enemies, you are already seeing new versions and by that time you've learned to deal with them so in many cases research seems pointless in this game. The lack of interesting enemies is also a problem. They just strap more armor on which doesn't make fighting them fun. In fact it just makes it more annoying cause essentially they take more bullets to kill. I've played everything from x-com to gears tactics to chaos gate. All of them are fun but this game is just not in it's vanilla form.
This makes we want to buy Corrupted Horizons (even though it didn't seem great) just so I can experience it with your mod. How did you rebalance it? (And Festering Skies for that matter, I heard nothing but bad things, and one mission had me wanting to punch my computer.)
Damn the timing on this, just getting a new PC to jump on stuff like Dead Space and Jedi Survivor, but I'm diving headfirst into this the first chance I get as someone who was massively disappointed by the original game. One question I have that wasn't answered in this trailer, what kind of changes have been made to the geoscape? I would always get halfway through a playthrough and then start over because the last half of a campaign became such a hassle of constant tedious attacks and events. Also, will weapons slowly get stronger and stronger in TFTV or is it still like vanilla where most new kinds of weapons are a bit of a sidegrade?
This is an issue we recognize and tried to fix it. We greatly reduced amount of repetitive missions and tried to make it so that there is more enemy variety. The weapons however are mostly a side-grade , with couple of upgrades
This is a dumb question but ill make it still I never playued pp (just like half an hour) cause i didnt managed to get as hooked as xcom 2 Do you recommend me to play with the mod despite not having played previously?
I do, since you can start with a lower difficulty level and toggle off options in mod settings, so you define your experience, if you don't have previous experience
how do I know if I have it installed in my current playthrough - I am subscribed - something seems to have downloaded but I do not see any indicators yet
its a shame a mod had to be the thing to create the game we wanted. mind you not hating its just i like a game thats fully what i want and mods just add to it, not recreate the game from the ground up. at lease they notified players that ver 1.0 was released, i found that hella odd but cool that they gave use info of a mod being complete
From my experience, helping SnapShot Games in the Community Council, back in the days developing the DLCs, devs didn't have full freedom designing and polishing the game. On top of that they are a small studio. But that previous experience of this group helped a lot pursuing our vision of Phoenix Point on our own.
@TerrorFromTheVoid true you create the vision but what is snapshot doing now? They posted your mod over there game getting people to buy the game to check your mod then finding out there going to need all the dlcs now. Overall I like the mod and got the dlc but I have money others can't just drop 50 or so dollars on dlcs in tota. Just looked and they got 2 more dlcs coming out, you will be adding them in as well. I got no hate for the game or the mods but the dlc is kinda pricy, more then the game
@TerrorFromTheVoid let me ask and I want you to be honest. If you were the dev group would you have delayed the game for your vision of how the game was to be. No money remark or such just honest if you has your way would you have delayed it to do this mod as the real pheonix point experience?
If you mean reloading vehicle ammo then some vehicles do get ability to reload, for example Armadillo using Gauss Turret can reload or Scarab using "Ammunition Racks" add-on can reload any weapon.
No, it was done by a group of ex Community Council members (focus testers group for original game). The core of the team is 5 people, total of 12 members.
I mean, it is an indie game... Personally I just really dislike a lot of the art (with the exception of the aliens themselves). Too cartoony and 'hero'-y looking, at least from the outside. Seems they doubled down on the things I disliked about the rebooted XCOM rather than taking the opportunity to have a darker, more realistic take on it, which I would've been down for. It's a large part of the reason why I completed Xenonauts, yet I bounced off PP pretty quickly. As an OG X-COM vet, I know people will be quick to point out that they were somewhat cartoony. But I always looked at that as limitations of the tech at the time. I don't think it carries over well in modern times. Remember how fucking ugly Enforcer was? It's a real shame because I revere J Gollop and his game design chops, but I just grimace whenever I see PP. People standing in the middle of the road next to enemies, cartoony zany looking shit everywhere... It just doesn't appeal to me, despite me wanting to like it.

It's the lack of polish. Feels unfinished at times compared to XCOM. Gameplay and mechanics are miles ahead of XCOM though, so it's in a weird spot

The mod is available for non-steam users as well!
get it now, its on sale with all DLCs
It sounds better than the base game ever was, so I'll give it a go.
Looks like the Long war mod. Still looks good. I might try this out on a 3rd run at some point.

by something like 6-7 people (not counting many different people testing and giving feedback)
Is this going to come on console also?🤔😊
Sorry, but no mod support for consoles
make it possible to disable aerial combat. they are just terrible and annoying
in the mod you can ignore air combat completely
no thanks, will pass for now.. too many bad experience from previous original releases, i'll stick with XCOM style
It's your choice, but TFTV was reworking the original unpolished game, maybe someday you will give it a shot
So many years since release, still looks like f..king indie game.
Isn't that a good thing?
I mean, it is an indie game...
Personally I just really dislike a lot of the art (with the exception of the aliens themselves). Too cartoony and 'hero'-y looking, at least from the outside. Seems they doubled down on the things I disliked about the rebooted XCOM rather than taking the opportunity to have a darker, more realistic take on it, which I would've been down for. It's a large part of the reason why I completed Xenonauts, yet I bounced off PP pretty quickly.
As an OG X-COM vet, I know people will be quick to point out that they were somewhat cartoony. But I always looked at that as limitations of the tech at the time. I don't think it carries over well in modern times. Remember how fucking ugly Enforcer was? It's a real shame because I revere J Gollop and his game design chops, but I just grimace whenever I see PP. People standing in the middle of the road next to enemies, cartoony zany looking shit everywhere... It just doesn't appeal to me, despite me wanting to like it.
Indie games are looking and most important - playing much better than some AAA (A) games these days
