Fallout Mutants Rising - fanmade Fallout TC

[Black Angel]

I had no idea this thread even existed. I have played Resurrection, but haven't played Nevada. I did enjoy Resurrection, though I thought the maps lacked atmosphere, and were generally its weakest element. With Mutants Rising my basic job was to help build the world - art - maps, I have build about 65% of the maps and I'm happy to announce all the maps are now finished. Currently we are a team of 4, and our scriptor/lead designer is very busy with real life, and until he starts scripting again the game can't really progress. But I will say Ardent (scriptor/lead designer) is a extremely talented individual, his ideas have improved this game, as Trump would say, "tremendously".

The size of the game is somewhere in between F1 and F2. Every location has been meticulously thought out and built. I have added decent (as decent as an old game can produce) lighting to every location, so players won't need to 'rest until day' to play the game. Atmosphere has been one of the key elements I've focused on, but the games engine is antiquated, and there's only so much you can do.

When the game gets closer to release I'll make a proper thread here at the Codex.

Here's a few screen grabs.

AW YISSSSSS!

Butter my butt, and call me a biscuit!

.Pixote. Those look gorgeous, like Interplay themselves did them.

A few questions: are you going to include in MR some of the nice Fallout 2 tweaks you've released in the past? I'm thinking of the extended flamer animations, mutant-sized death anims for larger humanoids, blue rocks for caves etc?

I like the syphillus poster in the last screen - your work, or a vanilla asset?

They are original world war 2 medical posters, if I recall correctly. I fixed them for the game in Photoshop. They work seamlessly, compared to the awkward posters in F2.

We are trying to add all sorts of good stuff to the game, somethings might work, others will be less successful, nevertheless we chip away until the game is finished.

.Pixote.

Glad to hear MR is nearing completion. It's been a while!
Although our Van Buren project didn't make it, I still have cca 6000 scenery pieces (in various stages of completion)
gathering dust so if there's anything VB-related you might need, just drop me a line

 

[Humanity has risen!]

It tells it all when Fallout total conversions made by amateurs in their spare time are 100 times better than any AAA game.

 

[CharacterNik]

I thought this project died. Now i am super hyped again.

 

[ironmask]

There has been a lot more images that have only been on NMA since Jun.

The last screenshot is especially fantastic.

 

[Modron]

Yeah for some reason the Mutant's Rising thread on nma is in a part of the forums you have to be registered to view while other mod threads are not so visibility isn't always the greatest on its news.

 

[ironmask]

How do I edit my post? The edit button is gone and kinda have to delete the last picture. .Pixote. [one of the modders] decided to remove the picture on NMA to remove story spoilers and I want to be respectful and remove that last picture here.

 

[Black Angel]

Fuck, yeah! Lube my arse and call me a filthy cumdumpster! GIMME THAT SHIT

The game is 90% done. All that is left to do is scripting. Which .Pixote. said that he guessed that the scripting is 70% done.

the somewhat rough russian to english translation in nevada kinda sours the experience for me, as good writing is essential for carrying the experience forward, but i should give it another go sometime

i'm almost tempted to offer my services to the nevada translation team, but i'm trying to keep my motivation for translating stalker mods and that's quite enough on my plate lol

I love Nevada, I played it last year and honestly had more fun with that mod than any other game that came out that year. I really hope Sonora will be even better.

Only scripting remains? So all ingame graphics, ending slides and intro video are done? Along with testing?

Sonora is almost finished, rumored to be out during this year. Any chance Mutant Rising follows very closely?

I'm going to quote what .Pixote. said.

"All of the core elements are finished except the scripting, the faster our scriptor finishes the game the quicker it gets released - the beta version. I'm thinking after the scripting is complete we'll have a period to test and squash bugs, that will probably be in house with a few outside testers. What gets released will definitely have bugs, and there will be at least one patch.

Hopefully Christmas next year 2020. Here's something to look at..."

 

[Darth Canoli]

So, another solo character decline thing or do we get some cool companions this time ?

 

[.Pixote.]

We have up to 5 permanent companions, each with their own background stories and mini quests, unfortunately because we needed to cut back on content we had to cut one companion. Here's an example of how we designed our character briefs and of course Dogmeat is in the game...the bulk of these briefs are written by Ardent, our lead designer and scriptor. I don't want to spoil the story so I won't divulge anything important.

Dogmeat

Overview: A mean dog you rescue from Dayglow.
Recruited in: Dayglow (west side)
Appearance: Dog

Description: Dogmeat is just a name used for the dog CNPC. You can name the dog one of the 10 suggested names, including Todd (presumably - Howard). Dogmeat comes from Dayglow and has been tormented by Terrance's ghouls. Nothing much can be said about the dog's character or anything - after all - he's just a dog and as such doesn't have very specific dialogue. Dumb dudes will have a very good and natural relation with Dogmeat and it will help a dumb dude in several places where intelligent dudes won't be able to count on it.

Script/dialogue file: DGC20
PARTY.H pointer: Dogmeat_Ptr
PID:
Proto numbers:

Role: Combat support (close quarters)
Main combat skill: Unarmed
Additional benefits: The Dog can sense radiation and will warn the player about it, provided he/she can understand what the Dog means.
Number of ranks: 5.
Companion quest: Free the dog held prisoner by the ghouls (Dayglow).

Specific reactions and events (by town):

Until we have something specific, I'll only write here some ideas.

GENERAL:

- Dogmeat senses radiation. Whenever on an irradiated map, he will twitch and moan. These floats will take the colour green. The player may pickup on the dog's strange behaviour and determine - through dialogue - that the dog is warning against radiation. To succeed in this task, dude must have less than 4 INT or more than 40 Outdoorsman. The dog reacts to dude having a geiger counter and there will be a couple of tweaks to this feature.
- Dogmeat is very uneasy in the presence of Xenon (wanamingos). He will warn against their presence with light red floats.

DAYGLOW:

- Dogmeat growls at the glowing ghoul if dude or Dogmeat himself are too close to the bastard.

RED SANDS:

- Dogmeat will immediately run to the wounded Steve Corben and bark loudly for dude to come over.

Controversy:

 

[rusty_shackleford]

When you guys say 'scripting'/'scriptor' , are you referring to writing or programming?

When you guys say 'scripting'/'scriptor' , are you referring to writing or programming?

Scriptor is basically the programmer. Below is an example of the gobbledygook Ardent writes, I respect anyone who has the talent to write code, my brain struggles to comprehend this nonsense...I just make art and maps.

Description: Dogmeat is just a name used for the dog CNPC. You can name the dog one of the 10 suggested names, including Todd (presumably - Howard).

Blasphemy.

 

[AdolfSatan]

It's because Todd is a bitch.

Also, I know that you can't legally sell the game, but is there some way to contribute with a minimal donation, if only to pay another bottle of vodka for you guys? Perhaps a patreon?

 

[Darth Canoli]

We have up to 5 permanent companions, each with their own background stories and mini quests, unfortunately because we needed to cut back on content we had to cut one companion. He's an example of how we designed our character briefs and of course Dogmeat is in the game...the bulk of these briefs are written by Ardent, our lead designer and scriptor. I don't want to spoil the story so I won't divulge anything important.

Interesting, did you add the full party control tweak as well ? Or at least is it compatible with it ?
