The developers behind Fallout London intend to found a new indie game studio.
In an interview with the BBC, Dean Carter of Team Folon said the group plans to release stability updates for the recently released Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition mod, as well as additional content as part of a larger patch that may be released later this year.
In addition, Team Folon wants to make the transition from a group of volunteer mod developers to a real indie studio.
“Fallout London will continue until we have essentially all the content that we had to cut for launch. So we will have another ending, the Wild Card ending, that will essentially come in one of the future patches,” Carter said.
“We're looking to do some minor improvements, like stability and things like that, but ultimately there's going to be a major patch that basically includes everything we didn't include in the original release, and that's kind of when we shut down Fallout London.
“That's not going to happen anytime soon,” he continued. “We can see ourselves doing that at least until the end of the year, but there will obviously be a point where we say, this is done now, because as much as I love that this is a free project that we can offer to the entire community for free, we can't pay the bills with free.”
“For us, it's been great that a lot of people who really enjoyed it have donated to us. We're now funneling the money into Team Folon, where we're obviously going to continue to develop. After that, hopefully we should start our own indie game company, which will allow us to bring our own ideas, develop our own game and really work with the community without even having to talk to anyone about us, like Bethesda or something like that.”
