    ====TC Plus Project: A Re-Volt Expansion Pack, by the TCP Team.====
    "Fantastically flawed", or better put "flawed but in a fantastic way".

     


     

    ====Intro====


    Ask any Re-Volter:
    no matter if newcomer or old-time legend, if they love them or hate them, they'll tell you the same story - these things very much look the part from literally everything else in the vanilla game's car roster.
    We're naturally talking about the "TC" folder cars, wacky-proportioned contraptions with artsy liveries and purposely butchered models, halfway between a '90s toy and an even-more-'90s digital work of art. As some sort of tribute to the original "TC" designers and makers, we proudly present this fan-made pack.


     

    ====Video Trailer====


     

    ====About the cars====

    The pack contains 96 cars, 16 per rating. An array of unique and fun cars, amongside them you will find themes like:

    -A new team of "Mascots". From the animal kingdom, new characters themed around 90's comedy. Panga TC has new friends!

    -Expansion of the "Insects & Bugs" theme, originally shown with Pest Control's Spider. Watch out, insectophobics!

    -Various "Decorations & Props" from the Stock worlds of Re-Volt are now the main theme of various cars! See if you can find all the original items...

    -We explored around Stock themes to bring awesome "Variations" into the pack -  alternative versions, fully  fledged on their own, of Stock TCs. What if Aquasonic was...

    -And finally, a multitude of creative themes that are shout-outs to the history of Re-Volt, gaming culture and more. We hope you can reference them all!

     

    Here's the full-list of cars.

    (Soon we'll include a graph with the respective authors of each car!)

     


     

    ====Included Downloads====


    Main Files: The entire car pack.
    TCP Frontend: The TCP has arrived at the classic Re-Volt Front-End Store! Including decorations and props based on cars from the pack.
    TCP Frontend Recolor: Same as above, but with a fresh coat of paint and reworked materials for a cool look.
    256px Carboxes: Replaces all the carboxes of the pack with bigger 256x256 px carboxes.


     

    ====Permissions====

    -Check with the respective authors of each car for permissions on remodels, repaints, etc. (A graph on each car's authors is coming soon)
    -Cars in this pack don't include paintkits or alternative skins in purpose - since their whole identity is coming from their paintjob, it would defeat the aim of the project.
    -UPDATE: The TCPlus cars are now available to be individually suggested, added and distributed in RVGL packs like IO, RVA, etc.


     

    ====About the Project & Credits====

    We started this project in January of 2021, where we had a few cars for each class, and eventually we settled down on 16 cars for each class!
    It was an amazing effort from the whole team, and a fun (and sometimes arduous) journey. We want to thank every TCP Team member, for their creativity, skills and comradery for staying 'till the end.
    The valuable Beta-testers, for their feedback and extensive testing on every single car to make sure they were all balanced and fun to use. We had a blast together, in numerous test sessions during the development process! Thank you!

  2. @Abracazuu22 All cars come in sets of two, much like some Re-Volt cars have “stock” and “DC” (Dreamcast counterparts) – they share the same body but have different parameters. That’s kinda the point and theme around this pack, cars are meant to be based on classics such as Sprinter XL, Zipper, Aquasonic, etc

    In the end, you have 96 unique cars to experience, with varying handlings, but only 48 different “shapes”.

  3. At the beginning I have to say that I was hesitant about having this package in my game, I thought that each car would be unique and original, but when I saw more details in each one, I found some similarities that ended up convincing me…
    For example, Jiggy is the exact copy of Gymill; other pairs of the same that I found were; Blossom and Turbo Grinder, RV Star and Alpina XL. At least those three I was able to detail, I don’t know if there will be more pairs of cars… but in itself, excellent work! I highly recommend having this Pack in the Re-Volt folder… Congratulations to those who collaborated!!!

  4. Wow, just wow. The cars are worthy successors of the beloved stock TCs. So many callbacks to different Re-Volt stuff. My only nitpick is that there are too many cars, so I can’t really test them all properly, but that doesn’t affect my rating. 11/10 . (Oh, and as Hector said, Ray shares its name with R6 Turbo’s iteration in Re-Volt 2. Just a coincidence.)
