NOTE: This is all hypothetical, not an actual proposal for making such a thing. Although I would prefer answers that were true, and of people who would be able to commit and not leave such a project.

This topic just came up(again) at the FO3 discussion forum. I was wondering who would want to participate, and in what way.

Also, I was wondering whether you guys would actually accept leadership, or would prefer keeping it totally democratic(and thus chaotic)?

Now for me: I'm an amateur programmer, so I'd be scripting, helping programming a game engine(because we wouldn't want to use FO's engine, now would we?), and design. I love design. Ehe.

Possible things to participate in:
-Graphics
-Game Engine
-Scripting
-Design
-Sound recording
-Music
-Talking Heads(In combination with Graphics and Sound)

There you go. If you can think of other thigns to do, please say so....
 
I'd help out in all the creative aspects, although, i dont really know any programming. I'd especially be able to help out in the music and sound recording part. I'm a music major, so I hope I know what I'm doing.
 
What about the coordination, administrative, logistical side of things?

You're going to need items like VSS or CVS, scheduling, tasking assignments, etc.

Understanding it's all hypothetical, I also see it as highly unlikely.

Maybe that's just the pessimist within me.
 
Don't be overly pessimistic. After all, some die-hard Jagged Alliance fans are creating their own unoficcial JA3 right now, and they've already created something that few professional game developers can look down upon.
 
I know it's all highly unlikely, but go to the FO3 discussion forums to discuss that. Just say whether you would participate or not, and how. Oh, and the logistical side of things should be done by someone(or a group of people) who are also involved in making things. Design or otherwise.

Oh, and welsh, methinks game design(including story, city and other writing) would probably be something for you).
 
Isn't there at least one project underway? What about Mutants Rising project or the Ianout people or Coach or all the other modders? Maybe you could help to finish their projects before getting all cranked on another one?
 
Sander, do you know C++ ?

Anyway, I'm already working on Megaton as a programmer. Maybe I could program the utilities, or the script engine (although people would probably use a 3d party engine like Lua or Python), or maybe graphics if there is no one with DirectX experience (then again you could use one of them game libs).

Leadership : people must choose someone they will trust and listen to no matter what. Democracy only works if no one really cares, or if you know each other very well.
 
Haha the truth is i probably couldn't even do beta testing, considering the tech that this F3 would have, granted that the original engine would not be used. My computer can't run anything more than Half-life, and even then it has to run it at small resolution, and still with low graphics quality.

Hehe, the only thing I'm good for is to help in finding out the minimum system requirements :)
 
I would help with the more creative things, most definately - story ideas, dialogue, music, and voice-overs.
 
I want to help!
We'd have to use some fo the sound tracks from the first two, for the sake of the series.
 
Just wondering- for a fan made FO3, if we took a, say, Ella Fitzgerald song and stuck it in the intro movie for the mod, could we get away with it w/o getting in trouble? (By the way, "Learnin' The Blues" w/ Ella and Louis Armstrong is a great song to use). It'd also be nice to find someone who can make a black and white Pipboy/Falloutboy cartoon.

In response to the original question, I would like to contribute to story, areas, dialogues, etc. And I also would gladly accept designated leadership, b/c I think that's the only way it would have a chance of working.

I'm already making one for the FTR intro, I'm almost done too.

Anyone who wants to see it PM me and I'll E-mail it when its done.
 
I am good in creation (characters, plots, story, dialogues)

But, hypotetically speaking, this project is destinated to go to public and be comercialized, right?
 
I'm the best in creating or upgrading the game's concept which involves programming, like combat system, locations/NPC scripting etc.

I also can do magic if I have to do something with pictures that aren't good enough for use.

Shame it's only hypothetical...
