illyism Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The stern.. It's taking on water! Seal the bulkheads and get her moving. We... Contact the Naglfar!" The captain paused for a moment as his worried inferior ran towards the radio set to make the transmission. The crew nearly fell as one as a huge wave crashed into the ship and shook the bridge. The captain looked at the scene before him, a panicked crew trying to keep a doomed vessel above the remorseless waves. The radio operator banged his fist against the transmitter out of desperation, there was no reply and the storm had knocked them so far off course that their sister ship would likely never find them. He turned towards Captain Knott and shook his head before throwing the mouthpiece back into it's receiver. The captain now stood with a grim expression, as though his last shred of hope had been snatched away when it was needed the most. "Prepare the lifeboats..." Began Knott as the ship rocked, sending the crew sprawling and leaving the captain unconscious. He almost heard the burst of static as the Transmission array was snapped from the ships exterior which promptly killed any signal they could broadcast... They almost made it to Vinland but it seemed their expedition was in vain. Project Valhalla----------------------- Project Status AlphaThe mod is currently in alpha stage. This means that the basics are in place and testing has begun. All of the main quests (8 of them) has been laid out and is in working order. There is still a lot of work to be done however. Alpha testing means that part of the team is going to continue on improving and polishing the mod by fixing the bugs that are reported trough our bug reporting system. More content will be also added when necessary, but the main content is in the mod already. Alpha stage also means that we will organize a graphics department for Project Valhalla, which will start adding awesome graphical assets to the mod. More info on the graphics department will be released in the following weeks. How to applyVisit us on IRC. What is Valhalla? Valhalla,a place of myth, the Hall of Heroes. Out of the legendary Norse lands a new group of heroes have emerged, not in a Viking longship but in an armored steamship. Their goal, Project F.U.S.I.O.N., to recover technology denied their forefathers by the old United States of America. They came in peace but were prepared for war, which is what awaited them. To the soldiers and sailors of the Valhalla Republic the supermutants resemble the jötnar or giants of old. Some call them trolls, man-eaters, which is what they are. It was the supermutants from the Jefferson Memorial who first attack the shore party from the Valhalla flagship, the Naglfar. In the battle that followed many a hero and giant fell. But men prevail and they have dug in, building a fortified camp. Now they seek help in accomplishing their mission. Are you up to the task? Project FUSION offers a full series of quests and several side missions. The rewards come as unique trade goods, new arms, armors and special items including Easter Eggs. Altogether we should have 4-6 hours of completely new gameplay. The NPC's represent Fennoscandia and so they have authentic Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian accents where applicable. Project FUSION is the first in what we hope to be a series of mods for Fallout 3 bringing America and Northern Europe together. ---------------Tempeste,Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veliv Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Well this is a great moment for us. A great milestone, if you will. Things has really started to feel like work during the past few weeks ;) Just to make things clearer, we are looking for alpha testers. I will start making new graphics assets for the mod next week (shift my focus from the geck to graphics). These graphics include couple new buildings and 2 new sets of armor. I will be posting my progress here. I will also have some time now to work on other projects of mine, like the car and motorcycle mod \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan0536 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Using your FN FAL and SAKO TRG 42 in FO3 right now with modified damages and other stuff, good work on the weapons so far, its nice to see other big mods that could coincide with ours, we are still in planning and editing pahases (pre-alpha) in about 2 months we should be in alpha at the rate we are going at, see you in the FO3 universe!

dragonpen61 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 What of using Norse mythological names in specific special ways like: Thor (God of Thunder) for a powerful and loud big gun. Odin, the name of the big fusion project the Valhalla Republic hopes to achieve back home. Loki could be the name of a clever, brilliant but sometimes eccentric research and development group. Valkyries could be an elite of women soldiers. Beserkers could be an elite of men soldiers. Other such ideas could be developed from Norse Myth. Just some clarification of Norse myth.Valhalla was Odin's Hall located in the realm of Asgard (Aasgard). The Goddess Freya would receive half of heroic dead souls in her hall of Fólkvangr just as Odin did the other half in Valhalla. Your mod looks good and promising. I look forward to playing it.
