Dev's response and announce, translated:

Due to BlackFlame's frivolity, I have to go online and explain the situation.

Yes, I'm developing Fallout: Sorona for a year so far. But I didn't quite had a time for press-release since a good visual base is required for that, which is left for last development stage (first goes scripting, writing, then graphics). News article is planned with poster and intro video, which are not quite ready yet.

Everything was revisioned. From weapon arsenal to cultural connotations. I had to do extensive research job - watch hundreds of old Hollywood films, study kilometers long worth of articles about America and Mexico, analyze other games of similar genres. The whole scripting-macro mechanics is redone, (the engine part is untouched, of course) all prefabs are redone, balance is drastically changed many more. And this is a completely different project than Nevada, don't even mention it.

Some of it you already know. The map is located to the right and bottom of F1 map, a bit on the edge of crossing (the region is chosen due to the story theme). Biggest city is named Phoenix. Tucson is also present (named Two Sun), with a crazy faction of tinsmiths. Rangers who established a bastion at Parker Dam - one of the central faction of the story. There are 11 big and 5 smaller locations planned (and almost all of them are tied to the main storyline). The project is aimed for roleplaying and storytelling, like all of you love. I won't tell anything regarding the story because it's too easy to spoil.

What about music, I warned Anton that I'm intended to use Fallout OST only. But if this person really wants to grow professionally, then be my guest to research do his best. I only need advisers/consultants/observers, and later - correctors and playtesters.

For now: a couple of screenshots showing off new architecture and loot. As you can see, the interface is also reworked.

P.S.: I'm really sorry for not responding in discussions (here and at VK) but the feedback is too distractive from my own business, besides I don't have that much of a free time. Every hour lost in talking could lead to a new script, dialog or graphics asset for the future game. Due to personal circumstances I already lost 4 months, although I could've been in time for Fallout 20th anniversary. Now the timing is very uncertain.

About HRP and sfall integration - "Let the others to do it. My aim is to make a project, fill it with content, writing and gameplay. I don't have time for other things."
And some other screenshots.

Time to learn Russian, I guess.

Thanks to @0wing for the newsblurb (yes, most of this post was copy/paste from him, so really, all thanks to him).

Damn thats nice to see another quality mod from this developer. But its going to be a pain translating again if they wont do it themselves.
It's hard enough for me just trying to fix and modify the broken English in a small, handful of files for Fallout:Nevada. I can only imagine the hell you went through trying to translate everything from Russian to English. Even with multiple people I'm sure it was no easy feat.

I sure hope Sonora gets an official translation from the devs, or at the very least I hope they try.
 
Glad that people still make mods for the original fallouts. It's also nice to finally see fallout take place in another country even if it's a mod.
 
Looking at Nevada I can only imagine how long it will take to translate. But still whoever is planning to take the translation project in to his hands I'm there to back him up. But only after we finish with this one, never thought it will take so much time to make things shine after we already have every text translated.
 
Because this new fallout project is set in Sonora, I hope the devs create a good background story about Mexico and represent well the mexican culture, or what is left of it.
 
Very cool, loving the new assets and the return of the Petró-Chico mascot. Also greatly hoping for an English translation.
