Where to start?
>lead writer constantly complains that there is no real leadership in their discord
>same lead writer refuses to listen to or acknowledge the project lead.
>because lead writer wont talk to project lead rest of the writers have no idea what to do.
>lead writer threatens to leak the entire mod and go on a massive smear campaign if project lead demotes him.
>project lead has basically lost control of his entire writing team and cant replace the current lead with someone more cooperative without risking a massive shitshow

>Story mod
At this rate the only story this mod is going to have is how someone can manage to put more effort into tearing down a project over actually working on the project.
>story has an antagonist
oh no. They've become the story now
I've seen a good one
Just split.
Somebody should tell the devs that to be honest. If the lead writer doesn't want to step down or leave the project, then everyone else should leave them.
Why does every mod have to have a big team these days? What ever happened to one or two autists making everything themselves?
Because few people want to become skilled in multiple subjects in their life time.
>I want to be a game programmer
>I want to be a game director
>I want to be a game designer
>I want to be a game composer
>I want to be a game artists
This is a mentality that plagues other fields as well, its not just video games.
different scope i guess, its one thing using mostly stock assets to make your quest mod, its another when you want to make entirely new set pieces
I have no idea what this is qrd?
ashfall is a new vegas mod set on hawaii and its going to die because the lead writer refuses to work with the project lead and is threatening to leak the whole thing if demoted
Why would anyone care about the content leaking? If it was some commercial sequel doing some heinous storytelling shit, it could damage sales, but this is a literally who WIP mod. It's publicity, if anything.
This. What does the project lead REALLY have to lose here by firing this guy?
This sounds like something somebody needs to just tell them. Somebody @ them on twitter or something
Jesus Christ, you'd think at least one mod dev team would be able to keep their shit together. This might be the smallest amount of power I've ever see go to someone's head.
>your only job is to help me direct the writers
>but what if I dont wanna help you or direct the writers?
maybe it's because it's a remake but skyblivion's dev team is pretty solid, after the lead's GF died it looked like it was about to fall apart but he kept going, seems like a good guy tbh
>>lead writer threatens to leak the entire mod and go on a massive smear campaign if project lead demotes him.
how is this a credible threat? who do these people have clout with?
why is modding as gay as a regular job now? fricking troony bs
idfk
modding cater to autism, the amount of attention to detail you need to have to make a fricking quest not fricking suck is borderline pathological, add to it that modding is by definition a for-free hobby and you are left with only the most dedicated narcissistic spergs around, deluded bums that literally believe their work is worth the fricking monalisa and wont settle with any less praise
Sounds like the Fallout: Odyssey lead
so, whos gonna be the dipshit caught red-handed with CP in their hard drive?
Nah its fine, they will just add a note in, that congratulates the girl on her 18 birthday
You would think people would learn with the frontier but no.
This big expansion mods are always fricking gay. I just play quest mods.
Man frontier was such a weird thing. Technically super impressive, adding features I didn't think were possible in that engine. Impressive scope and neat setpieces, too. Written and designed by people who have never played a Fallout game. How do these things even happen?
Genuinely it was mental illness.
their motives are strictly ulterior.
homosexuals dont really give a frick about modding, they dont have any passion about it - they just want to get into "proper gamedev" and treat these projects like their portfolio pieces.
happens with a lot of these global mods
skywind or whatsitsname changed their entire artstyle several times because of these fricks which of course delayed it significantly.
>be programmer/designer
>know your limits
>i'll just hire someone to cover my weaknesses like writing
>they shit everything up
Happens so often
The funniest thing about Frontier is:
>Be talented programmer that can make gamebryo do wonders
>But also an autistic frick that cannot control his Call of Duty boner
>Refuse to let anyone with propper writing skills interfere in your CoD+Fallout fanfiction
>Only let them make Legion and BoS campaigns
>But content from them shouldn't contradict your fanfiction about Space Enclave
After the frontier I just assume these projects will all crash and burn. The lead dev should say frick it. Who cares if that c**t leaks what they've already got? It's not like its finished.
if you want online fallout try zombie panic, co-op horror, free on steam if u download today
>mod is not some autists passion project
Doomed to fail. Mods and big teams from the start just won't work.
Thing is, it started like that. Thing is more people wanted to join to help the guy make the project faster. Then it blew up into being this mess.
How does anyone find good artists and writers that arent total asshats nowadays? Teams like this always break down thanks to them.
You have to pay. It's so easy to make it with art and writing these days that the only people still doing it for free are more than often maladjusts.
Bad writers will work for free because "anyone can write, it's basically just like being an ideas guy." Then everyone learns you have to sit and write several hundred pages of script, build a believable world, make it compelling and you end up with Frontier where the entire NCR campaign is illogical nonsense people deride for being moronic. Never mind these same writers lowering the bar to $0.00 usually aren't even passionate about what they are writing for. I remember the Frontier devs held an interview and at least one of those frickwits said 3 was his favorite.
Learn how to steal.
once again proving that a large group of people can not work creatively towards a common goal and set their egos aside enough to actually release a finished product unless united by the almighty dollar
At least Fallout London seem like it will come out without issues.
The worse I heard about them is the time they said they were the "new new vegas" on twitter and that one time a london developer admitted on a podcast that they would buy people copies of fallout 4 and the DLC just so they could mod that game instead of new vegas.
sonora chads we won
Nuevo Mexico is doing good too. Something about Fallout and New Mexico man
>sonora
Ew, better Baja California.
Before I go I want to suggest that we get the Sneedclave to look into these guys.
>implying fricking anyone would give a shit if some meme Fallout mod "leaked"
