[CANCELLED] Wasteland

Spoiler for:

In 2020, the Soviet Union re-emerged, due to an economic crash in Russia, communist extremists captured the country. the new Soviet Union immediately began mass-producing nuclear weaponry, despite all pre-existing treaties. In response, the USA and several other powerful nations began making more and more nuclear arms, further increasing the debt all over the world. In 2031, the Soviet Union declared war on the USA, with China backing it. After years of fighting to a stalemate, in 2044, Russia launched the first bomb. It was swiftly shot out of the sky. Knowing that one country could never penetrate the USA with Nuclear arms, Russia, China, and North Korea launched hundreds of nukes simultaneously. The first nuke hit New York City. Many nukes were shot down, but many made it through. Knowing that there was no way to stop them all. the USA, the UK, and Canada all retaliated with nuclear bombs of there own. This went on for 6 hours while people rushed to bomb shelters. After the dust settled, the world was destroyed, with only a few places not hit by warheads, and most of the people left in bomb shelters. When they emerged, they found a new world, covered in radiation, destroyed by the people who made it
-------------------------------
In 2127, the world had began to get back on its feet. Most of the Wasteland USA had fallen under 1 flag, the flag of the lone star. Few states remained independent, like Ohio, Rhode Island, and North Carolina. You can't remember who you are, or what you were doing before you were attacked by a group of thugs targeting Lone Star Republic officers. You were picked up by a supply runner and brought back to life by a doctor at Fort Erie, the LSR stronghold in Ohio. You find the information you need and set out to find these thugs, but learn of sinister plots to instigate full-out civil war

Spoiler for:

The game is open-ended with an open-world. The game is played through Quests. Besides the main quests you can do the multitude of sidequests to be available
All fights take place on the map thanks to BlizzABS where you can use anything from a Wrench to a C4-Launcher to get your battles won

Spoiler for:

You play as the Wanderer. He was beaten and left for dead on the side of the road, until a stranger picks him up and takes him back to a city. Not being able to remember much, not even his name, he sets out for revenge on the thugs he attacked him

This looks cool. I'm a fan of the menu for sure. I'd suggest a nicer HUD though - that one is a little bland. The bars are pretty though.

REMINDS ME OF FALLOUT


I'm not too keen on the coice of text for the splash screen.

@Modern Yeah, the huds just the default for BlizzABS at this point until I can get an artist. And about the menu---You can even change the windowskin in the option menu and the volume of the BGM so it gets even cooler
@The Box
Reminds you of Fallout? Reminds me of Fallout. But just about every post-apocalyptic game ever reminds me of Fallout
I like the text, but that splash screen isn't going to stay, since it's just text on a black background
EDIT:No one notices I had like 2 trillion $ 

UPDATE 13-47-2092
Shits gotta start back up, but I've began to look at this game in the long run. I have some exceptional resources at the moment to be sure, but not nearly enough or the right types. This game would require massive custom resources, the likes of which have to be purchased not handed out. Post-Apocalyptic modern tilesets and characters aren't as easy to come by as you might think. So, therefore, until further notice, I cancel this game, however, if anybody really cares, they can use all my ideas for there dark sinister desires. Maybe one day when I can buy people out I will resume this, but for now, It died. Thank you, Wasteland Team, for your efforts, even if they were in vain, I appreciate the work you put into it, even if it wasn't much
