Fallout 3: Van Buren (Spoilers!)

Hello NMA!

As some of you might know ( http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/fallout-2-cc-my-expansion-pack.87979/ ), I've been modding Fallout 2.

Lately, I've been busy with modding Van Buren into Fallout 2 (yaaay). I'll post short updates here from time to time. All of the screenshots are WIP.

Vipers' camp in Mesa Verde - Ciphers location.

 

I know it will take me about 6 months to finish all the maps and the new artwork for them. I can't say how long it will take to script the game - maybe 4 months? I guess the game will be released in about a year and a half. The only thing I'm doubting if we'll be able to create some of the unique critters (see list here http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Van_Buren_creatures ). So if anyone wants to help and create a two-headed rattlesnake or some other critter for the game, please contact me.

Anyway, be sure to come back here and check out the progress.

 

This weekend was productive! Maxson Bunker and Ciphers (Mesa Verde) maps are finished, Tibbets' maps are 75% finished.
Ciphers location is a beast, there will be lots of new art created for it. (I'll post screenshots later, once that new art is in place.)

Next on the horizon are Tibbets and the Twin Mothers.

Vipers were to appear in Van Buren and yes, the GUI is from Fallout 1. I'm going for that FO1 vibe so that's why I placed it over FO2's GUI.
Ideally, I would have a new GUI but I'm not that good at creating one. Maybe someone who has those skills will join us.

If you need Vipers for FO1, I can create a map for you - just pass on the instructions.

 

UPDATE #2

The Twin Mothers maps are finished and only their custom art is left to do.
Tibbets' maps remain unfinished until we flesh out the location. MCA wrote very little of it. If anyone's on good terms with him, can you please bug him to spill the beans?

I started work on Hoover Dam - this thing is monstrous - it will have about 15 in-game maps. Also, lots of custom art is required for it. So far, 5 maps are finished and I haven't even started yet.

 

Of course. The thread over at rpg codex is much more active so check it out if you want to

We're looking for additional personnel such as critter artists, mappers and writers. They would help us build the game earlier. So if you know anyone that would be interested in bringing Van Buren to life please let us know.

 

@phobos2077 That is excellent! You can read about Van Buren on the wiki: http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Van_Buren
I can send you all the design documents but you can find them all on the wiki.

Do you have a Fallout mapper set up already?
