Since budgeting of this game is fully transparent, it's time to tackle our first expenses.
We're currently at €40 per months which is great considering there's 11 of you!
A huge THANK YOU and a virtual brofist/hug to each and every one of you helping make this the best possible Fallout game ever! Some of you have even given more than the €3 I have in the top tier which actually leaves me speechless, humbled and forevermore zealous to deliver the old-school Black Isle Studios' greatness.
As you probably know, a lot of new artwork is being created and almost all of it requires additional paintovers to make it fit perfectly with the existing Fallout 1/2 art.
Right now I'm using just Adobe Photoshop 7 which was released in 2002. and the only art tool I own!
It's good for many tasks and actually a slightly older version of it was probably used by BIS' artists. However, that wasn't the only tool they used and quite honestly it's painting capabilities are very limited - it was made for photo manipulation first and foremost.
The tools that would help me get the art finished and better looking out there are Corel Painter and Snap Art. I remember using their Trials back in 2014. and was very happy with the speed and the results. For example, I was able to create Hecate's entire Junk Pyramid in just 3 days!
I plan on buying Snap Art first and then getting the Painter later when we save more money. The license for the Painter is €424.95 (already includes the VAT from where I'm buying it) and the license for the Snap Art is $79.
P.S. Something is brewing and in 2 weeks time, I'll have some great news to share with you mutants! Stay tuned! :D
Talk to you later, going back to work on those maps!
