Fallout London's volunteer modding team to launch as a new indie studio
Team Folon – the volunteer squad of developers who have released the ambitious Fallout 4 mod, Fallout London – is set to launch itself as a new indie studio.
Talking to the BBC (via PCGN), Folon’s project lead, Dean Carter, admitted that “as much as I love the fact that this is a free project – that we can offer this thing for free for all the community – free doesn’t pay our bills”.
“What has been great for us is that a lot of people who have really enjoyed [Fallout London] have donated to us, and we’re channelling that into Team Folon, which is what we’re going to be moving into,” Carter said.
“We should hopefully launch our own indie games company which will allow us to come up with our own ideas, create our own games, and work […] without having to speak to anyone above us, such as Bethesda, or anything like that.
“It’ll be completely our own thing and we can create a game that we want, that we think the community will enjoy. Fallout London has been a great springboard for that.”
As for what’s next for Fallout London?
“Fallout London will continue until we have all the content which we had to cut for the release. We have another ending, which we call the wild card ending – that will come out in one of the future patches. That’s not going to happen soon; we can see ourselves working until the end of the year.
