Hello Legion Gamers!

Here is a little success story for you: remember Fallout London mod for Fallout 4? It was so successful that it got over 1 million downloads:

And that, in turn, helped Team Folon, the mod makers, to reach the next step and become a real registered studio:



And they are already working on a whole new DLC for the mod that will include patch 1.3. It had so many changes that rather then making it just a patch, they decided to go all out and make a proper DLC out of it.

And that's not all, they also shared a survey form with everyone to see what people want them to work on next. If you have an idea, here is where you can tell them! That's a chance that does not come by all that often, so @GoLLuM13, @j7schultz, @SKYTRiXSHA, @miskkie, @ChristianRasmussen, @ZaidH and @DracoTarot I thought I'd tag you here in case you have some good gaming idea lying around 😉 Though for @j7schultz and @SKYTRiXSHA that may be giving a helping hand to potential competition 😅

They did some fine work on Fallout London. Very interesting to see what they get up to beyond it.

@DoctorEldritch Done and dusted. I hope my ideas will have some value. 😊

[DoctorEldritch]

@miskkie I am interested in whether they will try to make their own game, or continue being a mod-building studio, those are two somewhat different creative directions.

@DracoTarot What did you tell them?

[miskkie]

Would think they'd want to try and make a go at their own game on the back of this success.

@miskkie Making something original is always harder. With Fallout, even if it takes place in London, much of the lore and "vibe" is already there, you just need to adapt it into a new setting. Granted, this is no easy task either. Still, much of the worldbuilding, engine solutions and fanbase is already taken care of if you do a mod. Making something new is doing everything from scratch. That being said, I too would want to see them try to do it and what comes out if they try.

Interested to see how this turns around, the mod looks great.

[DoctorEldritch]

@SKYTRiXSHA It's been very popular indeed.

@SKYTRiXSHA They shared the future DLC plans:


@miskkie it seems that their next game will be on a new engine and thematically not the same as Fallout. So interesting how it turns out indeed, I am hoping it could be an inspiring success story, the gaming industry needs those right now.

PS; they also shared a festive postcard:
