Lee states that he headed up a team of three people, with occasional community donations, who would spend four years creating the modification eventually ending up with 13,000 lines of dialogue from twenty different actors and three hours of gameplay for the first installment alone. Eventually, with the release of Fallout: New Vegas in 2010, the development of the mod was converted and moved into New Vegas' updated engine with help from Lead Programmer Rick Hukkanen. With the help of friends in the film, TV, radio, and live theatre industries, Lee set out to create a modification of Fallout 3 for people who appreciated the style of the original Black Isle games. Project lead Brandan Lee of Radian-Helix Media, LLC was inspired by the games Fallout and Fallout 2 from Black Isle Studios. Fallout: New California takes considerable inspiration from the classic Fallout games, sharing world space with both and placing a focus on player choice, with branching storylines and near-total player freedom. The game follows their journey through the vault and the wasteland of The Pass, still suffering from the events of Fallout 2, taking place several decades previously. The player character takes on the role of the Star Player, an adopted resident of Vault 18. The mod features a standalone storyline set in 2260, 21 years before the events of New Vegas and 19 years after the events of Fallout 2.
Patches have continued to be uploaded since release and will continue to be released until the final version of the mod when development will permanently stop at 1.0.Īlthough technically a total-conversion mod, Fallout: New California works as a separate campaign from the base game players select which game they wish to play when starting a new game. On October 23, 2018, the complete mod (BETA 2.0 - Codename: Project Brazil) was released to the public to critical acclaim. In the years that followed, the mod was reimagined as a single game, which was released to other modders in private beta in the Spring of 2018. The mod was initially supposed to release in an episodic format, with the first installment released on 31st May 2013, and the second on the 15th December in that same year.
