"FMF – 2008 or Bust*
*Unless we’re not done until 2009!
It’s a new year and that means it’s time to get off our respective asses and get this baby back on course, and for the past few months that’s exactly what we’ve been doing! We felt it was high time we gave you all an update on what this project has been doing and where we plan on going from here.
Let’s start with what we know:
FALLOUT 3:
If we face the facts here, we already know that F3 is going to be a completely different animal. We’re not worried about how anything we do might compare or measure up to the work that the team at Bethesda is doing. Our goal is to remain true to the original 2 games and bring the fans of the franchise a new game to play in that same theme. Thus far we feel very confident we’re doing that.
Our DEMO:
Well, we’ll ask you to kindly ignore any boasts or high hopes we may have had in the past. The fact is, we’re a bunch of fans from across the globe with our own lives and paying jobs to think of first. You never know how things may change and unfortunately for us things did for awhile. But the good news is that we’ve refocused, gotten our spirit back, and we’re ready to see if we can really do it!
When we say 2008 and or bust, we’re really just trying to say that we want to be done as much as you do. We’ve come in, set some goals, got some help, and made a plan to see if we can do it. We’d like to think that a 2008 Demo release is very realistic. But as all things in the game world, sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way. We’ll try and keep you updated as more information becomes available.
The Finished Product:
As of right now, we’re not really ready to give out too many details of the game to the public yet. However, as the demo nears completion we’re going to start giving you some more of that information. What can I tell you for now? Well, not much (especially not much that you won’t already know about the project), but again, we’ll get you some new material soon!
Our Public Area:
As some of you may or may not know, we’ve started creating a public face for the project so that you’ll have something to interact with and find out more about the project. That starts with this news page but extends inside to our public forum. We’ll have contests running regularly from here on out to give the fans a way to interact in a meaningful way with the project and we’ll try to answer questions as soon as we can.
We also have a recruitment sub forum under the public one for guests who wish to join the team. Please see the public forum for more details on available positions.
Closing Words:
It’s an exciting time for the project and we’re thankful to all the fans of Fallout and Fallout 2 who have shown us their support over these past 6 years. We do this for you guys as much as we do it for ourselves. We hope you’ll enjoy the final product!
Cheers from around the globe,
Sebastian of the Wastes and the FMF Team"
