So, what genre is it? Fantasy, Sci-Fi. Post-apocalypse?

Will you be okay, though? Quitting your job so that you can earn a living from making games. I'm currently reading this thread and I'm under an impression that quitting your job just so you can focus on earning a living through solely developing games isn't exactly a good idea, especially in the Current Year™ climate.

Black Angel thanks bro, I appreciate your concern.
Yes, making a successful game is hard but not impossible.
I just have to be persistent and constantly learn.
Maybe it will find some audience because I'm trying to address some perceived faults (IMO) modern RPGs make.
For example, let's try and bring back that sense of wonder .. "what's around the next corner?".
Too many RPGs we get seem like a bunch of cliches glued together under a new IP brand.
Of course, there are other faults the game addresses, but more on those when I announce it

Quitting job to make games is a great idea - if you abandon the "making games" part, and instead find an even higher-paying job.

A bit sad about VB halt. This must be the release i am waiting for the most (and maybe the longest if we take the original van buren into account). I hope it is just an halt and that we will be able to try it someday.
Good luck for your RPG. Maybe the episodic format is some formulas to try out, to avoir spreading out too much.

It seems the project is not entirely dead.

I haven't seen any real progress being made ever since I left as a project lead in 2014.
Honestly saying, it seems it will stay that way unless I start moving things again.
I'm not promising anything but I've been looking lately into alternative game engines for the project.
We have some huge problems with FOnline engine and I doubt we can continue development with it, once the core team decides to resume work.
At this time, you're better getting your classic Fallout fix from games such as Underrail and ATOM RPG.
Thanks for your interest bro, it breaks my heart to see people are still waiting for this game.

Well, i am not holding my breath either. But i am trying to gather intel about Fallout 1-2\FOnline adventure mods, on some sort of guide, and i am try to ascert if the not released projects are still in developpement. It would be lying to say it is 100% dead if someone is still trying to hold the torch.
Yet, it does seem that very unlikely that the project will ever be released considering the current situation. There are news about the project still being a thing, but nothing about what has been worked on, not official website, nor activity on the hosted section of the codex, and not much communication outside FaceBook. They would be more likely to get help if people were aware that the project still exist and need help. Also, it seems that the whole concept of Van Buren doesn't seem to carry a lot of luck. In 15 years, nobody managed to make it, including Black Isle, and there were many attempts in many engines, and many of them were promising.
But, as mentioned several times before, i am under the impression that so much of the work was already done, maybe more than 50%. It would be sad to have all of this go to waste. Maybe we overerestimated what was already done.

If you still want to port on unity, you might want to check out hardboiled wanderer's work.

Can you upload all source files? Since FOnline engine is full open sourced and good fork such as FOClassic was created, now every Fallout developer can do much more.
