Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! The basic layout for all the maps is done! This is a minor but very important milestone for the project.
167 map files in total, and when we include all the map elevations the number will probably go over 200. Also, there are additional 62 map files in that XP folder which are finished and will be in an expansion pack one day.
I find it very funny how BIS developers said that FO3 would be smaller than FO2.
Anyway, I have to go now. Updates might become less frequent. You might gossip about how I run away to a distant tropical island or even died while trying to squeeze ARGOS' sprite into FO2 engine. But I will be in a special (dark & comfy) place where good maps and even better art are made!
Really!? This is great work!
How far along is this game and how many hours do you think it would take to complete?
We've been working on it for 1 month now so don't expect it anytime before 2015. The game will definitively be bigger than Fallout 2. With expansion probably twice as big. Expect a couple of months of continuous (re)playing!
That's a music to our ears. Carry on, blessed man.
What about Project Van Buren that was made by some Russian Mod Team? Do you use their files or work from scratch.
We reviewed their work and found they made maps for one location and started working on the other. They also animated one monster. That's about everything they managed to finish. We are using 2 of their map files and animations for that monster. Everything else is being made from the scratch.
