Dynamic and Growing Town

[Tony the Wookie]

no textures at all, just default 3Ds Max materials thrown on

 

the chair is 500, and the store is only 300, I can't remember on the tavern, but it will be up there once I start adding on the pillars on the front porch area

 

 

But don't worry too much about the blueprints, if you don't have time, since it really isn't completly neccessary. Helpful, yes, but not totaly neccessary.

 

Im far from an architect, I just pulled out a sketch pad and threw down some quick thumbnail blueprints, just so I could know what exactly I needed to make and whatever.

 

Alright cool deal. I'm having a crazy time with college, won't get stuff sorted for about a week, maybe two. Won't be able to get anything cemently set until around that time.

 

not a problem

 

if you can help, then cool, if not, me and Quetzlsacatanango can pretty much get the stuff done, it is just going to take some time

 

 

 

I did just the other day learn how to set up interiors and navmeshes and stuff in the GECK, so this week I am going to get some of those done, and I think Quetzlsacatanango was planning on a doing a few as well. That way he can start working and setting up destinations and stuff for the NPCs, and I will continue with my meshes and textures

 

I am buying my Wacom tablet sometime next week, so that should help me out with textures and stuff (those things are always fun to use, and make anything 2d much faster)

 

 

 

What I really need is more free time... I still need to get the detailed town stuff up and the organized character list, so I can put up the new topic, I just keep putting it off, because it is really quite boring, and sometimes frustrating to try to get loads of information into an actual readable form...

 

I am usualy not an organized person, so trying to keep this whole thing as organized as possible is a bit of a challenge

 

 

but my plan is

 

1. make empty interior cells

2. put up new topic with organized info

3. keep working on exterior meshes

[Tony the Wookie]

Ok, I have the interior walls for the Blacksmith, Medicine Shop, General Store, and Bakery done

 

I will work on some retextures for the walls and floor, decorate them, and put in some good lighting later

 

 

if anyone is interested I can put up some screenshots

 

 

 

I am also about 85% done with unwraping the player house, so then I can add textures and everything

 

 

 

still havn't got around to getting the new topic up...

[DigChrono]

still havn't got around to getting the new topic up...

 

PM me any notes you have and I'll organize them, so you can just copy and paste into the new topic :)

[Tony the Wookie]

well, right now what I really need is to get the characters organized, so if you want to go through an put the character information together based on what is on this topic, that would be helpfull

[DigChrono]

I tend to forget the 3 hour time difference... and the fact that normal people don't stay up untill 2 or 3 every day like me... (I work evening shift)

[DigChrono]

I looked back through the thread, and cause of the loss of those two pages way back when, the most recent character edits are on page 17, with a few small things added in the final post of that page, but I'll repost them here

[DigChrono]

 

 

 

Karen

 

Age - 17

She is the youngest of the girls, and it shows, since she starts out being quite the immature whiney little emo teenager... And as you get to know her you realise she is just a scared little kid left all alone.

 

Height - 5,4

Other than the kids and Maria, Karen is the next shortest person in the town.

 

Residence - Barracks

Karen can be found sleeping in the Barracks as well as one of the hotel rooms in the Tavern, when she wants to get away from the people at the Barracks. She has a secret room in the Barracks that once belonged to her parents. She never sleeps there, but she keeps all her personal stuff hidden there so no one can find it.

 

Common Locations -

Karen can be found in the Barracks or guarding the Town Gate. She also works the bar some nights. When she at one of her jobs, she is usually hiding in her secret room or outside of the town walls by the destroyed tree (she is one of the few people that leaves the town walls). Karen won't go into the library because she wants to avoid Maria, so she steals books in the middle of the night and returns them later.

 

Friends -

Karen doesn't act like she likes anyone, but she is secretly friends with her fellow outcast Gorplog. She gives him guitar lessons in exchange for him putting the blond streaks in her hair. She also cares about Mellisa, who she saved from raiders once, she kind of watches over her, and she is one of the few people she isn't totally rude to (she is rude to Gorplog when other people are around). When she was younger she was good friends with Maria and Anna, but isolated herself from them after her family was killed.

Anna, Maria, and Karen are all about the same age, and they all three grew up in the town together. They became real good friends throughout their childhood, always being together.

When Karen's parents died, she completely isolated herself from her former best friends. Maria became somewhat afraid of Karen's behavior, so she didn't really try to talk to Karen after that, which upset Karen (being a whiney little emo girl, who says she doesn't want people’s attention, but is really saying that just to get attention...) Anna tried to talk to Karen, but took her anger at Maria out on Anna, so Anna eventually couldn't take the abuse anymore.

When they were young Karen and Maria would always bring books to Franklin, the ghoul, to have him read to them, since he was the only one in the town who was good at reading complex stuff like novels (not a common skill in the Wasteland). He would also tell them stories of his adventures when he was a younger ghoul. This is how they both learned to read better than most of the people in the Wasteland, and developed an appreciation for literature.

 

Ocupation - Waitress / Town Gaurd

Karen makes more than enough money working at the Bar at night, but out of a sence of duty she also works as a town gaurd during the days. This is partialy because that is what her parents did, and partialy just to fill up time since she doesn't really spend time with people much.

 

Family -

All of Karen's family is now dead. When she was 12 her Father, Mother, and Older Sister went to fight for the Brotherhood of Steel after an urgent message from Elder Lyon's himself requesting immediate backup. Her Mother and Father were both former BOS members who left the BOS to have a family and protect the town, which they saw as a beacon of hope for the wasteland.

 

 

Elli

 

Age - 27

She is the oldest of the girls, and more mature than the others. She is more ready to settle down and start a family. She is also friends with a lot of the other girls parents and the other older town members, since she kind of fits in a generation gap between the two groups, but gets along with both.

 

Height - 5,6

She would be just slightly shorter than the default Fallout character, who I said is 5,8, but completely average compared to the other female characters in my town...

 

Residence - Bakery

She has her own room in the back of the Bakery where she sleeps and keeps all of her stuff. She doesn't spend much time there however, since she is constantly out talking to people or making food

 

Common Locations -

Elli spends most of her time making food, which she is very dedicated to. When she is not at her Bakery she can be found getting food from the Farm or stuff from the General Store. She also roams around the middle of the town talking to people.

 

Friends -

Ellie is friends with almost everyone in the town. Her main friends are Maria, Popari, as well as Popari's mom. She is popular among most of the groups though, from the young kids to the older generation. She also talks to Anna's older brother a lot when she is picking up food.

 

Occupation -

She spends all of her time making food for the people of the town, and she gets a whole lot of business

 

Family -

She was raised by the Enclave and doesn't really remember any real family.

 

Popari

 

Age - 21

When she was younger, the only other kids in the town were all a couple years younger then her, so she ended up taking a leadership type roll which made her very confident, but also a bit bossy at time.

 

Height - 5,7

She is just below the standard Fallout height but just above the average for the females in my town.

 

Residence -

She lives in the Mayor's Mansion with her family. She has a lot of nice stuff in her room that she got from trading or got from her father.

 

Common Locations -

She is found in the General Store a lot, as well as at her home. She also spends a lot of time at the bar, mostly flirting with guys. She is constantly having her hair done by Gorplog as well, though he doesn't really like her, because all she ever does when he is doing her hair is ramble on and on about herself, and she doesn't show much repect to him. She is pissed off because he won't give her highlights like he gave Karen. He denies giveing Karen the highlights.. After you get the purifier fixed you can find her at the pond a lot, but usually not swimming.

 

Friends -

She is friends with almost all of the younger generation. She doesn't talk to any of the children other than her sister, and doesn't really spend much time with the older people other than Franklin, who has been like an uncle to her. She is friends with all the girls except Karen who scares her. She also like to flirt with most of the guys, especially the bartender. Popari is a few years older than the other girls, so when they were younger she took up a sort of leadership roll. This also had something to do with the fact that her father was the Mayor and most powerful person in the town. She also got more attention from the boys, so she ended up not hanging out with the other three girls as much. She is still friends with Maria and Anna, but not as good friends with them as they are to each other. She avoids Karen now, not wanting to deal with the negativity.

 

Occupation -

She runs the General Store and sometimes tries assists her father with Mayor stuff

 

Family -

Her father is the Mayor, so he is the most powerful person in the town and pretty much gives Popari what she wants. She also has her mom and little sister, who she hangs out with a lot.

 

Maria

 

Age - 18

She is the same age as the player character, as well as around the same age as Karen and Anna. She trys to act mature, but she still relys on her parents a lot and is cautious around strangers.

 

Height - 5,2

She is the shortest person in the town and well below the players height. This contributes to her shyness and other people still treating her like a kid

 

Residence - Blacksmith

She lives with her parents in the house connected to the Blacksmith shop. She spends more time in her room than most of the other characters.

 

Common Locations -

She spends most of her time in the library, where she works and has her own little workroom to the side, where she restores old technology for the museum she is makeing. She also spends a lot of time at home. She can be found visiting Anna at the farm or at the Bakery

 

Freinds -

She was childhood freinds with Anna and Karen, but now she is afraid to talk to Karen, but misses her. She isn't very social, but she can be found talking to Popari and Elli, she also talks to Franklin about book and his stories from his travels before he came to the town.

 

Ocupation -

She runs the library and is starting a museum of pre war tech, she also fixes stuff around the town

 

Family -

Her father is the blacksmith, Rick, and she has an overprotective mother

 

Anna

Anna has had a crush on Cliff since he moved to the town. She is always asking him about his wasteland stories and watching him shoot Yao Gui and Molerats from his sniper tower. Cliff likes Anna, but won't hang around her too much, because her older brother and father don't like him (her younger brother looks up to Cliff). Since Cliff is the new guy in town, he doesn't want to cause any trouble and risk getting sent back out to the Wasteland where he has many enemies, so he stays away from Anna to keep from makeing her dad mad. If you can convince Anna's father than Cliff is a good guy, Cliff will start dateing Anna. (this is a lot easeir if you hook Elli up with Anna's brother first.

 

Age - 18

Same age as the player character, and grew up friends with Karen and Maria. Her father and older brother still treat her like a little girl

 

Height - 5,8

She is the same height as the Fallout standard and a bit taller than the other girls in my town

 

Residence -

She still lives with her family and works on the farm. She has her own room separate from her brothers and has set up traps to keep them out.

 

Common Locations -

She spends a lot of time at her families farm, mostly taking care of the animals, but sometimes at the shop. She can sometimes be found delivering food to the Bakery, but her brother usually does that. She stops by the Medicine shop a lot, and after you fix the water purifier you can find her swimming.

 

Friends -

She is good friends with Maria and Popari. She spends time with the crazy old lady and her grandkids. She also hangs around Cliff a lot, and is sometimes found talking to him while he is in his sniper tower.

 

Occupation -

She works on her family’s farm, mostly taking care of the animals

 

Family -

She has a father and a older and younger brother. Her younger brother will get mad if you flirt with his sister. Her mother died during childbirth after her younger brother was born when Anna was 5

for blue

 

and

 

for green

 

;)

 

 

 

Now I just need to go through and add the info for the other characters (minus the hair and body type, since they won't be custom)

 

If you want you can go through and put down the information available right now, or if not I can get to it in a little bit

 

 

I am currently putting furniture into the interiors to make sure there is enough space, before I start working on the exteriors. It is also giveing me a good idea on what I need to eventually build to make the interiors feel complete.

[DigChrono]

thanks for the colors, changed them, removed the body type/hairstyle info, and took out my intro, all in that big post

 

 

I'm pretty sure thats all thats been posted on this thread, I'm pretty sure there was more on those pages that disappeared, but not sure

 

you've made a basic thing for all the interiors, just not the little details are the way you want, right?
