Developer Update: September 2023

Hey Everyone! This month we have a major announcement to the Fallout community. We are looking to start our long journey in the creation of our very own full sized game named, Fallout: New York. So what can you expect going forward?

Well, we wanted to start this journey with some clear goals, and one of those goals is transparency. With these Developer Updates we are hoping to give the community a clear monthly window into not just what we are up to as a team, but also showcase our whole journey including planning, and each step in our creative process. What is Fallout: New York?

Well, this project is a volunteer-based project organized by the FNYC team with the goal of producing a AAA quality Fallout stand alone game complete with its own story, quests, characters, and most importantly environment. Does this project have any relation to Bethesda Games? No, the FNYC team is an independent group with no affiliation to Bethesda Games. Will this project stay consistent with the lore of the franchise? Yes, so according to the lore we have available New York City was a major target and hit by multiple nuclear weapons. Additionally, the damage was so significant that military commanders deemed the city to be lost. With this information we really want to lean into a version of New York City that looks and feels lost. We also know that the city has been referenced quite a bit throughout the history of the franchise so we want to interpret that as the city while down is not counted out. Until next time! - Lavender FNYC Project Lead
