🕑 Added 2022-02-19 22:39:55 +0000 UTCHeya mutants, we have some important news to share with you! 😤
Today an almost 40 minutes long video review bashing years of our work was released on YouTube to an audience of 42 thousand. Now when those 42 thousand pass on that critic’s opinion to their friends and then they pass that on and on the damage done by one video becomes catastrophic.
Just to give you the numbers… of those thousands of people who watched the video today only 1 person joined our Discord and we got 2 new Twitter followers. And of course, 0 new patrons.
We are a very small team of hardcore fans, just the 3 of us at the moment, and would like to focus our precious energy and time to the making of this game. I’ve been dreaming of Fallout 3 since the moment I finished Fallout 2 in 1998. This is personal to me. We have the vision document, we have the design documents, we have the story, we have the art, we have the dialogs, we have the music : now we only need the time to put it all together, do the CGIs and voiceovers.
We don’t want to spend that time explaining to thousands of misinformed gamers out there how this is basically version 0.2 right now and not final 1.0. The critic made a series of incorrect assumptions, presented them as facts and never bothered to ask us any questions. Even the black and white intro video made by Black Isle Studios was bashed as something “out of place”. Seriously? And the animated video about nuclear energy wasn’t spared too. I guess we now know who never saw the original Fallout 2 trailer. 🤦♂️
So from now on in order to save our beloved project and ourselves from this kind of “help” we will only be doing private beta releases to patrons on individual requests. That way you guys can check up on progress whenever you want. We will still be doing regular screenshot and dev diary posts here.
The next time the game gets a public release it will be version 1.00.

I wouldn't be bothered by idiots like him. Do your thing and prove him wrong in the end by releasing an awesome version of Van Buren. I would still do public betas every once in a while to get some feedback on the mod. When a big milestone has been reach, do a public beta. Don't let this jerk ruin that.
