New Blood Interactive hints at something very Fallout-esque

Lead dev here - it's in active development. That is all can say at this point.

When we see some trailers?

Marketing isn't my department, I'm a programmer. When the studio decides to show more, they will.

Weren't you working on Van Buren? Is it now some kind of Fallout-inspired game using your tech over Unity?

I still am when there's time. This project is completely unrelated to Van Buren or anything I worked on there. As a matter of fact, we don't even use Unity.

That's cool, thx. Judging by the screenshots, I assume it may be sprite based?

Your assumption is correct. Technical-wise, the game works very similarly to the original Fallout games. The intent is to overcome limitations of that era and make things bigger, more dynamic and more eye-pleasing.

Makes sense. It’s a relief not being stuck with SVGA and its dithered 256-color limits. Games like Pillars of Eternity and Disco Elysium have nailed that sweet spot between old-school charm and modern polish (Shadowrun too, though to a lesser extent). And even if it's all pure sprites without the slick hybrid rendering tricks, there’s still a hungry niche out there drooling over those rare screenshots New Blood drops soooo infrequently. I hope there will be enough sales to keep the interest!
