About this image

Salutations, everyone. It's been awhile since I last made any update, not since the mod was orginally annouced back in July. In any event, within that time. I have made tremendous ammounts of progress. In fact, it's quite unbelieveable when I think about it, probably best if I don't think on that.. Haha, anyways. I promised an update by today, and I intend to deliver. Now, before I proceed. I want to make somethings aundently clear, I want to be as spoiler free as humanly possible. I understand the desire to aquire additional information and I love posting teasers however, it's important that this mod comes as a surpirse for the most part. At this point, I am estimating that Mars will be roughly two times the size of the Capital Wasteland world space, I know. Hard to believe my estimates have gone from The Pitt, to Point Lookout now to Washington D.C. itself. Well, larger and more expansive, actually. In fact, at this point it's only about two times smaller than the Mojave Wasteland's surface area, and some of it is completely unused, as it's suppose to be where Death Valley is located, so essentially. We're looking at a map size potentially larger than both Fallout games.

And I'm not even counting the other planned content, yes. A mod this large deserves some side quest to subliment the main quest, now. On that topic. I just recently decided to start looking into adding them in, I love the generalized ideal. Although, I'm also in the process of making them unquie, if that makes any sense? Essentially, I don't want these to be your typical "go and talk to this person, and see to it that they get this item" kind of mission. I'm incooportating some creativity with these, in addition to the ten minute ones that make up the vast majority of them. There are also two extensively larger side quest, that will likely take half'n hour each to complete. I have some really, interesting ideals I want to throw in. And I'm certainly, looking forward to seeing everyone venture to these new locations. Nonetheless, be aware. That you'll have to surmount challanges that you have yet to face. Caution, is "always" advised. Thus far, I have around seventeen side quest planned, with more potentially underway. Each, offering different kinds of gameplay. Combat, Adventure, Strategizing, Puzzle Solving, Negotiating etc.

Alrighty, next on the list. Mars itself, this is another ideal that I have been toying around with for awhile now. In addition to the standard Red Planet, I'm going to be creating an alternate file after the mod is fully complete. There'll basically be two different versions of Mars, the standard edition and of course. The Terraformed version, which you probably guessed it by now. You'll be able to transform Mars into an Earth like paradise. Completely, redefining it's atmosphere! While I originally suspected this could take awhile, after the main landscape is complete. All I'll have to do is retexture areas and add things like trees, water etc. I'm going to be drawing alot of inspiration from places like the Swiss Alps, I might even experiment with oceans and possibly even islands. That could be cool, to add some palm trees to coastal areas, but this is all wishful thinking until I get the main mod complete.

Finally, I wanted to annouce that when the next update is released, I.. really would perfer not to give a date as of yet, I'm not good with those personally. So I advise everyone to be pacient. Anyways, when the next update arrives. You can more than likely, anticipate an actual demo-version of the mod. Alllowing you to play a relatively small area that will consist of a short 20 minute adventure.As one last bit of news, I am searching for anyone who may be able to aid me with some 3D modeling. I'd really like to get some custom assets added, however. I lack the necessary skills to complete such an objective on my own. Should anyone be interested. There will certainly be a reward in it for you, although. I'd prefer not to discuss compensation within the public eye, send me a PM if you wish to help, we can discuss payment in private. While I will not inform you of what I am willing to pay in advance, I am willing to negotiate. Your reward will likely be entirely dependent on how much work you contribute.
