No one is able to fix well-known bugs in TRNG and implement new features, +although you can still implement with plugin (with C++ knowledge) however it is not user-friendly (you need to know C++) and it is poorly documented. + +TEN (TombEngine) is supposed to be a new engine which is (most importantly) open-source, removes limits, and fixes bugs from the original game, +it also provides support for Lua (a programming language), all objects from TR1-5, and many more exciting features and gameplay functionalities such as: corner shimmying or enlarged 2D map (where you can build a massive level). + +At the moment it is at the Beta stage and not everything is fixed, bugs and more functionalities will be implemented/fixed over time and complete version of TEN may not be here until several years. +
