The Speech
First I'd like to say that I'm a long time gamer, I'm now 23 years old and I've been playing games for as long as I can remember, on Commodore, Amiga, PC, PS2, Xbox, N64 and what not. Of all the games that I've played, there's only two that really stand out from the crowd for me, Fallout 1 and 2. And I know I'm not alone, the original Fallout games have hordes of fans, who truly believe these two to be two of the greatest games ever made. The reasons are as many as they are varied, but for me it was the setting and story combined with the excellent gameplay and roleplaying elements that made it stand out. Ever since I've been a fan of the RPG genre, but never have I seen a match.
I have a dream, the dream is to make the match. Using the Source Engine (HL2) as our platform for the mod and the Fallout games as our inspiration. I'm not talking plagiarism here, we're ofcourse not going to break any laws (copyright infringement), but we Fallout fans seem to share a deep love for the post-apocalyptic setting of Fallout and it's unique takes on roleplaying elements. Ofcourse mainly a singleplayer game, but hopefully multiplayer mode(s).
If you're in for the ride, you are in for a long one, but together as a dedicated team we can make a great game, that has a great story, good gameplay, next to unique setting, and a game that will please not only Fallout fans but fans of roleplaying games.
Mod Features
Consider these mod features as suggestions, or a little more than suggestions, everyone knows that with mod work not much is set in stone from the beginning, but this is what I want and what we can hopefully achieve.
- A Post-apocalyptic setting
- A great story that the player can alter depending on choses he makes, multiple endings
- A skilltree much like the one in Fallout, complete with perks/traits
- A huge game world
- Huge armory of weapons and armor, that can also be modified
- Top down perspective view much like in Fallout
- Plenty of dialog, dialog trees with multiple answers
- Multiplayer mode(s)
People Needed
No doubt alot of people will be needed to complete this project, but I want to start out with a smaller but dedicated team and then expand, perhaps around like 10-15 people. As of now this is what we need. Note, you need not be a Fallout fan to be accepted, but it's certainly an advantage
- 3D Modelers and Animators
- Concept Artists
- Story Writers
- Level Designers

Granted not much information has been given here, and the story of the game hasn't been worked out yet, but I feel at this point I'm trying to create a team and I feel that we as Fallout fans must create the story and setting of this game together, that way it will be the best it can be.
I own the website leakfree.org (a source engine development community) and can host the future website and forums for our mod on a subdomain here.
BTW: I have checked with Valve if what I want to implement for this mod is possible with the current SDK, and the answer is yes.
I feel it's important to say that this will not be a rip-off, this game will feature a completely unique setting and story.
