Steam is celebrating its monumental 20th anniversary with a special event that kicks off today. To pay homage to its rich history and the gamers who have used the platform, Steam has set up a special landing page. This space is designed to take visitors on a nostalgic journey through the past two decades, highlighting the games that have captivated audiences year after year. Among these memorable titles is our very own X3: Reunion, one of Steam's best-selling games of 2006.

To get X3: Reunion into shape for this celebration, we have invested time and effort in refreshing the game specifically for this event. To further entice both newcomers and long-time fans of the series, an 80% discount on X3: Reunion will be available from September 12 to September 19.

Thanks for your support, and enjoy the Steam 20th Anniversary celebration!

• Added support for wider range of resolutions.
  
• Added default controller layout for keyboard/mouse emulation via Steam Input.

After launching our Blender Modding Tools alongside the 6.00 update and the X4: Kingdom End expansion back in April 2023, we're excited to bring you another important update to our tools for modding X4: Foundations.

Firstly, we've introduced a one-click conversion tool that easily transforms old mod models into the new format Egosoft uses. If you've been using older community tools, this is a game-changer for you.

For those interested in adding a layer of dynamism, you can now create custom animations. This will allow more interactive and engaging elements within your modded worlds.

We've also simplified some of the more technical aspects of the tools. During model export, the tools will now automatically generate "component" XML files, resulting in a speedier process for asset creation.

Last but not least, we've incorporated a feature that allows the creation of waypoints, specifically for drone routes.

We're in the process of compiling more detailed documentation for all these new capabilities. In the meantime, keep an eye on our Wiki for updates and documentation links. Though still under construction, it's shaping up to be a valuable resource: X Wiki.

Go ahead and download the updated modding tools to explore these new features. Whether you're a modding veteran or new to the scene, this update is designed to streamline your creative process. Happy modding!
