Dev Diary 73: Humongous (Patreon)

Heya mutants,

sorry for the late update, lots of alcohol and cheering occurred last night! And I didn't feel like doing a drunken update :)

Anyways, for me this last week was all about new art pieces. Many art pieces, around 150, were finished but there are two things that I would like to specially point out:

1) Largest piece of animated art for Fallout 2 was created at a whooping 50 MB size! For comparison purposes, the average Fallout 2 animated pieces take up about 500 KB

2) The art workflow was improved drastically and will result in more art being done in a shorter period of time. 

Additionally, the team made progress on creating new locations, music and writing.

We also held a big team meeting on Friday where we discussed our plans for the next release and decided to put as much of the finished stuff inside R4 as possible. We feel this is the best way to show where we are and to potentially attract new developers to the team.

Speaking of the team, this time around we have some sad news too. Two of our writers disappeared so we've stopped counting on them. They haven't actually started working on anything so we won't feel their loss in a sense. It would be great to have two more productive writers on the team though!

See you next week,

-PJ & Co
