Project Van Buren

Like I said, yes, 3D artist would help me greatly. I already have a list of art I need, with concept drawings or images of course.

 

I already have a vision, in fact I have even started placing some distant view assets into what might be a main menu scene. I imagine combined distant view of Boulder Dome cupola on top of the mountains on a left side of the screen, and distant view of Denver in the center/to the right. And some other closer details, but this is the general concept so far. Only things I actually miss for this are nice scyscrappers with appropriate art style. I have found literally perfect ones, but I cant spend 70 dollars now. https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/exterior/cityscape/buildings-and-skyscrapers-in-ruins

BTW, we can discuss things on your discord channel, I am already there

 

I have finished programming of basic combat a weapon system, so I turned back to some level-design work. This is road to Petrifield, Arizona. This location served well as a test map for visual and art style shaping. I hope the desert now looks much more realistic.

 

What is wrong with sign? Since 2050, the U. S. has been experiencing resource shortage. Americans don't usually use word "gasoline" regarding fuel, but this is kind of referencing to The Road Warrior movie, where there is a strong Aussie pronouncing of the word as "guzzoline".

Bushes to the right may look a bit off because of their darkness, which is caused by their position being right against the sun so you see their shadowed side. I'll put down ambient occlusion on them, thanks for a feedback.

 

There are plans for voice acting of the NPCs, but of course, that depends on possibilities. I am focusing on different matters right now.

About 3D assets, I haven't set up a concrete list of items I need yet, as I havent had any 3D artist on sight so far, but I am in desperate need of 3D art, mainly props items and some architectural assets. I can provide a concept references if anybody is interested in contributing.

 

Once the greatest natural wonder of the Four State Commonwealth, Grand Canyon lost its national park status in 2057 due to massive uranium deposits hidden underneath its monumental mountain ranges. Almost 200 years later, it became one of the most feared areas in the Wasteland.

 

The Road Warrior's legacy obviously still lives in Van Buren.
(You see, I'm not a good 3D artist, but I try)

 

Well thank you, many people keep telling me that. The only thing I believe I trully get is the original Fallout artstyle. But, you know, knowing that I still lack a true artistic skill... That keeps me going further. It's not about putting myself down, it's about getting better each time.
Most of the things you see in this thread is actually my progress through learning new things. One year back, I wouldn't be able to put any shit together in Unity Engine. And now, it actually looks and feels like an actual game after all, in trully pre-pre-alpha state game, but game nonetheless.
