One thing you will notice in that list of potential jobs above is that nowhere in that list do you see ‘Marketing Lady’ or ‘PR Guy’. That is because we don’t have these positions, nor do we plan to hire them. We want to spend the money on the game, and only the game.


This is the only game where you have to you Pay to be in Marketing. I am sure Donald Trump is already overjoyed ;)

I used some filters for the art to look more Wasteland(y).


LoL
Those are some powerful lighting filters you got there.
Gotta love that Sick Demented Dark Humor.

You could have up to 5 companions in F2 (1 per 2 points of charisma). Maybe even more with perks.

That's the cast. You only get to pick one to be your follower in game (referring to new fallouts obviously).

I like the picture very much.
That's only one picture, so too early to talk about the colour palette of whole game. As it's dark it's perfectly suitable for a desktop wallpaper and that could be one of its goals.

@topic: Great concept art, I like the mood. And most important: Desert Rangers just have to look like that.

It's a great picture, I like the style. Would wish a bit more colour. Brown is an understandable colour-choice, but I'd wish there would be.. a bit more.

I know that the bombs did a lot of stuff when they fell, but they didn't magically turn everything brown. When I think Wasteland, I think of old spagetti-westerns. There's a lot of brown (dust), but underneath it all there are colours in the clothes, in the buildings, some of them originally even pretty vibrant, but dulled down by continuous exposure to sun and weather. In some places, where the environment isn't so exposed to nature (such as indoors or or places where more upkeep can be done), the colours could be more vibrant, maybe even shockingly so.

Someone above pointed that the picture portraits men in army-, police- and firefighter-uniforms. While I understand that the army-guy should be wearing brown, I thought cops wore blue and firemen red and yellow. Of course these colours would be dulled from years of exposure to the sun, but in the picture it seems that all these uniforms were cut from the same cloth.

This in turn makes us miss the details. After all, if the colours are same, perhaps the details are as well? I don't ask for the C64-colour scheme, but please think The Man With No Name in a bit more modern get-up? Or these guys if they didn't have change to buy new clothes every day.

The art was good, though not what I thought it would be for wasteland. As some have pointed out, it feels more like "now" projected to the future than 80s projected to the future, stylewise. At first glance it feels more modern military than post apocalyptic. While the rangers have a military origin, I think it should have more apocalypse mixed in too. :-)

One important thing, it is NOT fallout like (50s future). I think this is a first stab and it will be ironed out as it progresses.

Oh, I will say, after seeing that pic:

Where can I get a DESERT RANGERS BELT BUCKLE like that!?

Maybe if we add an extra $x to our tier selection? :P
