We previously reported on Fallout: Vault 13. This project would have modded Fallout 4 to recreate the first part. Two months ago, a fairly strong demo of the mod surfaced… and now we have to report that development on the mod has been suspended. Discordon’s culinwino, one of the lead developers on Fallout: Vault 13, has announced the cancellation of the project:<\/p>\n
“We have decided to officially cease development on Fallout: Vault 13. This was not an easy decision, but we feel it is the right thing to do at this stage of our journey. I know this may come as unexpected news, and we sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may cause. We will be releasing a full build of Fallout: Vault 13, including all of the unfinished content. There will be a retrospective that takes a look back at everything we’ve accomplished with Fallout: Vault 13, celebrating the highs, the lessons learned, and the passion that drove this project,” said culinwino.<\/p>\n
So they’re giving other modders a chance to continue the work they started, which sounds like a pretty honorable move. But why did they stop? According to Culinwino, they had to stop development because of burnout, hiring new people with niche skills and retaining old ones, and a change in the lives of key team members. He added that it was not infighting at all, and not a possible legal threat from Bethesda, that caused them to stop development on Fallout: Vault 13.<\/p>\n
So if what culinwino said is true, then for once we don’t have to write that the IP owner (Nintendo in many cases) caused the cancellation, so maybe it wasn’t a legal threat that killed the promising but currently unfinished mod. Maybe someone will take over the work…<\/p>\n
