Dev Diary 116: Well now, it was just a matter of time (Patreon)

Hello muties,

some great news galore this time around! As some of you probably noticed, Fallout Yesterday uses Talking Heads from other mods or from other projects our resident THs artist Goat-Boy is working on. Those borrowed THs were always meant to be temporary placeholders because this game deserves to have its own unique art. But due to its size, realistically we would need an army of artists working around the clock to produce all the THs. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Enter the world of tomorrow, the world of AI...

As you have heard by now, software engineers have made great advancements with AI services, making them available to the public. I think people are only now realizing how much will this change the world of entertainment: games, movies, photography, art... It's not perfect of course and takes some time to get to where you want to be. But they say a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll just stop talking now and let you soak in all that beautiful art. To summarize what this means for Fallout Yesterday...

- ALL the unique NPCs will have TH, some will be animated, majority static
- New Backgrounds for animated THs
- New Loading Screens
- All the End Game Slides are done
- New Death Screen
- All the Town Maps are done

P.S. I haven't yet added all of these to the source files and implemented them in the code but it should be done in the next week or two.

See you soon guys with more epic news from the wasteland,
