Description
(To make this 120% cooler, please listen to the music theme going with this picture, composed by our talented Wasteland Wailers over at The Overmare Studios ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOJrtx… )You know, when you're a concept artist working on a game, it's not always the most exciting thing ever. A lot of time is spent browsing the internet for resources, references and other not-so-interesting-things, and you know a big part of your work will never be published. But you keep going, because you love your job, you love the game you're working on, the team you're working with, and the community who's going to play your game. And once in a while, something awesome happens. This awesome thing was our art director asking me if I was willing to work on the title screen for the Fallout: Equestria game. The most awesome thing ever.
I started working knowing I wanted something reminescent of Fallout 3's general ambiance, and after a few game design/art design discussions with our leaders, I switched the overall color from green to light blue. A few days later, Turbopower made it clear he wanted to work on the title screen as well, and after discussing the matter with the team, we started what would be an incredible collab ! I mostly worked on the Ranger (wearing T-51b power armor, made by AlexandrZ), and the picture's colors, while Turbo worked on the amazing background. Maybe you guessed it, but the scene takes place in Manehattan.
This is what you'll see the first time you boot up the game. I hope you'll like it !

(click of a slide transition)
[I mean that as a compliment, like that it fits as a title slide; not like the click of moving on]

I'm sure it's not easy for two artists to work on a piece together but you nailed it

Yup, it's not easy indeed. When you're alone, you can put all your ideas down on your sheet and you'll be happy with the result. But when two people have to work together, multiple factors have to be taken into account : Both artists don't have the same style, same culture, they don't work at the same speed, and there's a lot of communication involved. But we also had a blast working on this together.

So many levels of awesome TwT. The armor design, pose, angle, lighting, background, muted colors. It all works soo well and just screams Fallout at me. I particularly adore the design of the leg armor, weird as that sounds, it just looks like it fits and moves believably. Very fond of that helmet design too, overall this is just a wonderful piece of art. Your attention to detail continues to impress, I really like that light mist you have there and the way the light reflects or affects objects. I also like that dead grass thrown in there and the amount of damage and decay in the surrounding landscape. I think the only thing that kinda bugs me is that pony head in the poster, behind the Steel Ranger, it looks too close to the shows style, compared to everything else. Other than that, this is a perfect piece.

The armor was designed by AlexandrZ, so I don't take any credit for that, but I'm glad you like it !
Hope you'll be able to enjoy the game when it's released !

Good luck following through the concepts and plans :>

Yup, the game's been in developement for a little more than a year now, and we've come a LONG way. We've even been able to show the game and host Q&As at two conventions, and we're trying to get a beta out for the end of the year.

RollsRocker In reply to TheOmegaRidley [2014-07-28 19:55:18 +0000 UTC]
And tell me, what are the game specifics ? Is it story driven, or gameplay driven
Or maybe it's a playable version of the fic itself ?
Sorry if something
Anyhow, I love this ambition
Good luck ^_^
PS: May I ask a question ?

TheOmegaRidley In reply to RollsRocker [2014-07-28 20:18:33 +0000 UTC]
Well, have you ever played Skyrim ? Or maybe Oblivion ? I guess you never played Fallout, but those two games are pretty popular and really similar in terms of gameplay, altough they take place in a heroic-fantasy world, while Fallout takes place in a retrofuturistic sci-fi world. We are trying to emulate the Fallout games, but with ponies, and using a completely new engine. The game is indeed a playable version of the fanfic, it takes place in a desolated version of Equestria, and the player can choose to relive the exact same events that happened in the fanfic, or choose their own path.
And yes, of course you can ask me a question. Why even ask if you can ask ?

RollsRocker In reply to TheOmegaRidley [2014-07-28 21:28:19 +0000 UTC]
Hehe, I haven't played either actually But I've seen friends do so I suppose I know what you mean
Hmm, a completely new engine ? Is it expensive to make such one ? Tons of code, programming and such ^^
Hehe, cheerz for the fanfic part Finally I'll get to know what happens there
I say it's an astonishing progress being made here
Plus, I don't think any other fandom would go as far as to make it's own fanfic bsed game with a separate engine That is amazing ^_^
Well, the question is a bit rude, so forgive me in advance
WOuld there be a chance, if I had the game to use my character, you know, the one you drew on my birthday, rocking with a flamethrowe ?
Sorry

We're actually using a free engine Microsoft is providing to everyone who knows how to program a toaster, and we're a team of 60 people working on the game at the same time, though we do not accept donations and aren't making any kind of money with the game. It's made by fans, for fans. The engine is called Unity, and if you go and look it up on google, you'll see it can give surprinsingly good results !
I don't see how you can consider your question rude at all, that's natural curiosity, a lot of people have been asking us the same thing, so here's the usual answer : You'll be able to change your character's appearance, mane, tail, coat, maybe some details like scars and all, size, but you won't be able to change her gender (female), race (unicorn) and her name (littlepip). This is a game design decision, we wanted to make sure the player plays as the main character from the story, a young unicorn named LittlePip. So no, you won't be able to play as Ruhig. But that shouldn't stop you from playing the game, amirite ?

RollsRocker In reply to TheOmegaRidley [2014-07-29 12:00:56 +0000 UTC]
Aaah, I understand. I don't think I'd handle it then, because most of the time, I make my toasts when I shower
Hmm, well that's a team for sure I really respect your cause
Checked the engine, looks pretty reliable and with a lot of potential
Aha, now I see Thank you for the answer, very short and concise )) Well, even those little custom details would be nice
Hehe, I would have loved to burn some tin cans with Ruhig
but I agree that a game about LittpePip would be amazing. And of course I'd play it, what a silly question ^_^
Overall, good luck with it
Also, you're their concept artist ?

You'll be able to change your character's appearance (mane, coat, tail, etc...) and size, but the name (Littlepip), gender (female) and race (unicorn) can't be changed, sadly.

You actually will be able to change the gender. The race, name, and cutie mark will be the only thing you can't change.
