Fallout 3: Van Buren (Spoilers!)

​
​

UPDATE #5

Current team lineup: Ilove3D (mapper), The Brazilian Slaughter (gameplay designer), Vaarna_Aarne (writer), grotsnik (writer), Whisky (writer), Kamoho (writer), Kane Vollstrecker (inventory art), hexer (everything else)

Hello mutants!

As you can see our team has grown. We finally found another FOnline mapper who is currently finishing Twin Mothers area. TBS joined us to help with SPECIAL and overall gameplay changes. He'll also contribute as a designer for one area.

We found a professional VO actor for our intro, end game slides, and perhaps a talking head or two.

And now for something unexpected! During our last Skype session, the team came up with the following idea - the player can play the game as either a ghoul or a super mutant! I personally can't wait to try out something different for a change.

I've been very busy making new art lately. Because there is so much of it, I'm sleeping no more than 5 hours a day. But that is the price I have to pay if I want to deliver! Currently, my game installation folder is already over 3 Gb but still there's much to be done.

P.S. We are looking for people that know how to make isometric game scenery or 3D movies.

See you around!

I'm a powerlifter so I can handle any kind of stress pretty good. If I feel I need a break I'll take a day or two and do nothing but sleep and walk my dog to recharge my batteries.

Yes, we're using FOnline and you can make a single player game with it. We switched over after having some issues with Bethesda. The main benefits are that we can create a game much closer to the original Van Buren vision.
Their mapper is mostly similar to FO2 mapper. It was really hard for me to switch over but I'm getting better and better at it every day.
The scripting language is AngelScript: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AngelScript

You can use Fallout art in FOnline of course.

Thanks bro! Good luck to you too!

 

I know what you guys want to see. Soon!

 

A question for Mutants Rising bros out there... Do you perhaps have additional animation sprites for FO1 / FO2 super mutants and ghouls? I would like to avoid having to use FOT sprites if possible.

 

Thanks for the help! I was thinking about ghouls and super mutants wielding additional types of weapons for which there are no animations at the moment. Hopefully, Bethesda will release 3D models so we can do it!

 

Well, it's one thing to presume and it's another thing to ask. We will see now what they have to say about this.
I asked them to release 3D models of Fallout 1 and 2 art. I presume Interplay didn't throw away those or hid them somewhere.

 

I'm pulling out all the tricks. First, I'm asking them why are they treating us differently from Fallout 3 / NV modders. Second, I remind them about our 16-17 years of painful modding. And lastly, we have our secret weapon - MCA - if they prove to be inhumanly indifferent towards us.
We are in fact dealing here with people who said NO to Leonard Boyarsky, Tim Cain, and Jason Anderson when they offered to work with them on Fallout 3. I expect anything from them.

 

Does anyone have contact from guys who are making Fallout: Between Good & Evil ( www.towerofcreation.com ) ?
I know they did some Van Buren monsters and art so I want to ask them if they can help us.

 

Kids play next to Ouroboros' school while the Daughters of Hecate watch over them.

 

I implemented it as a scenery object because it was faster than cutting it up in many tiles. I'll probably split it in two parts later to optimize video memory performance though!

 

Yes that is what I do if it's under 512x512px. Unfortunately this one is over 600px in width so I had to split it in two.
