Are you ready for yet another Eastern European RPG heavily inspired by Fallout? Because here's the ATOM RPG, currently being kickstarted with a rather modest goal of only $15000, as they seem entirely willing to finish it whether they reach the goal or not:
They have already been greenlit on Steam and are currently shooting for a Feb 2018 release. Demo download links are available on the Kickstarter page if you want to check it out.
For the French, there's apparently a book being written about the history of Fallout by Théo Dezalay (aka @Izual), also with a history of modding and more. An excerpt can be found here, and it looks like you can buy it here.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an English translation at this time.
Finally, a Croatian conference called Reboot Develop is being held this weekend, and Tim Cain will hold a talk entitled Building a Better RPG: Seven Mistakes to Avoid, which will be live streamed here: https://www.twitch.tv/rebootdevelop
Tim's talk starts this Saturday at 10:00 AM CET. Besides the interest of hearing the old master talk about how to design RPGs, we might be able to get some clues on the project he's working on at Obsidian with Leonard Boyarsky.
According to the schedule, there's also a different panel with Tim and Chris Avellone about world-building, plus a panel with Tim, Chris and Tramell Ray Isaac about stories from the development of Fallout, but unfortunately these will not be livestreamed. Expect to see them on the front page if they ever get released elsewhere.
Update:
Tim's talk can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/137273761?t=18m36s
Update2: Now on youtube too.
Also there is apparently a Fallout: New Vegas mod in development for Fallout 4: http://kotaku.com/modder-is-building-new-vegas-inside-of-fallout-4-1794629368
Good to see dedication like that.ATOM is a passion project. It will be finished no matter what. But, with your help we will be able to do it much faster, as well as add more interesting content to the final game! But we don't want to make unsubstantiated statements so feel free to download the latest build and check out ATOM for yourself! Thank you for your attention!
