Fallout Shelter (working title) is a new reality competition series based on the hit Amazon drama and computer game of the same name. The dwellers (contestants) live together in a top-secret vault, where they will compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the Fallout world. Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L).

The series will not only test dwellers’ core attributes, but also their loyalty and alliances. It’s a game of power dynamics, popularity and social strategy which will ultimately result in a huge cash prize, but do you have what it takes to be the most S.P.E.C.I.A.L?.

I am sort of speechless, but for all the wrong reasons.

That ship has sailed.

That being said, there are lots of good indie RPGs with a similar setting; UnderRail, Atom RPG, Space Wreck.

The biggest issue is that indies struggle with making third-person fully 3D RPGs.

I mean, that's how Fallout literally started. I don't need full 3d, I just need something with half of a soul and not made in the latest Unreal Engine

I am totally good with isometric turn-based RPGs, that's mostly what I play these days.

That being said, I wouldn't mind a real sequel to VTMB or even a more RPG-focused Alpha Protocol.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Indeed, I would have also loved a more immersive VTMB sequel.

You should post any good stuff you find coming forward. I'll take any recommendations from this comm

Check out: !crpg@lemmy.world

I mod/curate there too, mainstream CRPGs make up most of the content, but indie CRPGs are definitely covered.
