A Revisit to Project 2:
The project that I think I’d really like to dig into is my idea of modding a video game, preferably Fallout 4, into my own unique vision. Using the Bethesda created GECK editing software, I’d bring in custom weapons, armour, dialogue, story, and terrain into the world. I found an awesome channel, of which I’ve known of in the modding scene for a while, gerokeymaster. He has some great modding tutorials that cover a lot of the fields I am unsure of.
This project is going to have me spending a lot of time in Maya, Photoshop, and the Geck. I also see myself spending time in the audio department as I record voice work. I own audio editing software such as Adobe Audition. Plus, I know that the school has a pretty good recording booth. And with that comes a script that I will have to write for the story, direction, and dialogue. All of these things, I have some semblance of experience in so I’m not going in 100 percent blind here.
I think that the biggest hurdle I’ll have here is getting used to new software such as the Geck. But, otherwise, I’m looking to make this game’s original theme and feel and flip it’s on its head. I want a normal player of Fallout 4 to not know what they just git themselves into and to make it feel like a brand new game. Story-wise, I’m thinking some rift opens up and you fall into an odd new world that you can explore. My mind feels locked on the similar aspects to Thor Ragnarok. That movie took what we normally thought of Thor and made us fall in love with something new and wacky. So basically Fallout 4: The Taika Waititi Version.
I just really want to spread my self all over my favorite parts of videogame development, modelling, story, and dialogue in order to find my foothold in the industry, or maybe keep myself open to all of them.
