Postworld Update

So no Crysis engine.
As a side note (it seems as if some here would prefer this to be open source and whatnot): Making money is a necessity, and there is nothing wrong with making money by doing what you love. If it's a quality product, it is worth money. It's that simple.
@AlexFeature: Thank you for the answers. You seem to be (at least reasonably) sensible about the goals and the project itself
I would however again like to stress the need for turn based combat, as it allows for more strategy and a more comfortable pacing. Besides, almost all games nowadays are all about realtime leetness, and keeping it turn-based would be a way to stand out from the crowd. Possibly, you could go with paused realtime if you can still manage to make it strategically interesting. Mashing mouse buttons is a chore, and VATS is not strategy.

erm...I mean to say that the 2nd tech demo won't feature turn-based combat but the final game will.I knew I would mess something up
So, no worries guys, no vats no real-time pause crap...good ol' TB all the way.
@ ericjones
No not really. It's just that my girlfriend said that if it turns out that I wasted all that money on this thing for nothing she will do bad things to my little tribal. Women
100% good news there. Looking forward to hearing of your progress, and I wish you and your team the very best of luck.
Oh, and stick with your girlfriend. As money is of no importance to girls, she must be among the selected few who know that isometric, turnbased PA CRPGs is what may turn even the most glittering gems of hatred into blossoming flowers of love.

Yes. Gems, money, flowers...cars, houses she like. PA CRPGs not so much.

They are making advertising using a trademark that's not their and they plan on earning money thanks to that advertising?
Yep, Bethesda will crack down on them and they will be right... And if they don't, lucky Postworld, because Bethesda has every right to demand royalties as soon as they start gaining money with the game. Before that, I think it falls under some legal category, I forget the name. Something use or something. Rightful use or whatever.

Wait, wait, wait... a friggin' minute.
Wasteland => Fallout => Postworld ?

I'm gonna strip that fucking jumpsuit off Chester's ass and burn the damn thing. Personally, I'm tired of all the Bethesda crackdown paranoia so I hope you folks won't hold it against me. Now regarding Linux....a hooker, priest and a penguin walk into a bar...
Seriously though it all depends on Unity if they make a Linux client then it will just run on it no problems. So, can't promise anything there.
I think someone before asked about consoles as well, but forget that the licences are too damn expensive but who knows. In therms of deployment support, it's there or at least will be in Unity 3 for Xbox and PS3 i think. Now it's only Wii.
@ lisac2k
It's probably due to severe lack of caffeine in my blood stream but I honestly don't get what that was all about
I hope it's an optimistic rant of some sort
@ Viliny
It'll probably be more like 8.99 or something not 20.
Amen!

I think he means that your project could be considered an spiritual sequel to Fallout, just like this one was to Wasteland. They aren't set in the same game world, but they share a lot on the setting.
Oh, and I'm sorry for thinking this would go open-source before.
I thought it was kind of a hobby project for fun, but if this is going to be a serious independent(or sponsored) commercial game, I hope you succeed.AlexFeature

Oh now I get it. Wow, I definitely need to get some coffee. Thanks for clearing that up. So, basically no pressure.
Oh, and before this comes up I want the record to show that the game's title won't be Postworld. We are fairly optimistic we can come up with something betah...or at least we hope so.

Heck, I would say "Go for a Wasteland Remake/Sequel with this."
Inxile seems to sit on its ass on the copyright after Fargo got it a couple of years ago.
Bethesda on the other hand would sic their lawyers on you the moment you would turn it into a Fallout themed game, though I would love to see a Fallout game more like the previous games. (one of the reasons why I keep writing concepts for Fallout games)

That is AWSOME!
As long as it features a variety of mutants, raiders, mercenaries, and killer robots.

That's the plan.
Not to give away the farm to early the whole thing will be something like: Mad Max and Postman meet the guy from I'm Legend and kick Eli's ass while looking for the Vault and trying to stay off the Road. Or there about.
