    Well, looks like a post-apoc CRPG set in the Australian Outback. Kinda like Mad Max.

    Any thoughts? I'll probably keep an eye out at best.

    Nice! I made a newspost about this unknowing we already had a thread.

    It certainly looks good however the voice over in the trailer isn't an example of good writing. But it's a long time till 2021 so they have a lot of time to sharpen.

    Looks interesting enough. Aesthetically it is the closest to Fallout yet. Is the morality system all there is to it though or is there a stat and or skill system?

    On their website they say that they have a "classless system". There are expericence and leveling. On one of the screenshots you can see that there's a medicine skill, so there are probably other skills as well. There also appears to be traits based on the morality system.

    Attributes are confirmed as:

    Strenght, Agility, Resolve, Precision, Intelligence, Charisma, Speed and Awareness.

    Edit: Found an interview with the devloper here which sheds some light on things.

    Looks pretty nice, actually.

    I’m kind of tired of seeing that ”empty/half full/full” shield icon and mechanic copypasted in every TB game that gets made these days (same as with the other XCOM lookalikes), but that’s not really a complaint worth pushing forward.

    I wish someone’d take GTA 2 as a base example to craft a topdown TB RPG.

    The end-of-the-year update contains some nice demonstrations of fog-of-war, day and night cycle and the updated inventory:

    Everything looks so green and lush in that game that you hardly notice it's supposed to be PA.

    Heh, the first time I ever heard about this game was through TriangleCity's video where he interviewed Fallout Tactics Lead Designer Ed Orman. He gave a shout out to the game at the end of the interview BTW. :-)

    Bruh, it took you TEN MONTHS to reply to this!
    :facepalm: ;)

    But in all seriousness yeah, TriangleCity deserves all the love and support for the work he does on his videos!
