MACHINIMA
Searching for a plumber in Fallout 3 video series The DC Chronicles
>> Inspired by the plot of the original Fallout RPG, The DC Chronicles is a Fallout 3 machinima series following Andrew Grafton, a vault dweller who has stumbled into the wastes and is in pursuit of a Water Chip for his home.
DC supers
1 After a brief introduction to our setting - US capital city Washington DC - the journey begins with an attacking Super Mutant. He's pinned down a group of soldiers in the ruins of the city.
Hero shot
2 Luckily there's a man with a very big sniper rifle creeping nearby. This is our narrator and hero, Andrew. He aims at the Super Mutant, and dispatches him with two quick shots in the head.
Poor rewards
3 The soldiers reward Andrew with Stimpacks and bullets. The story's told via audio diaries, which enabled character interaction without the creator having to record dialogue for everyone.
Water flow
4 The episode ends by providing us with direction. The soldiers haven't heard of a Water Chip, but they point to Rivet City. A man there named Preston might be able to help.
Current Project: The DC Chronicles
G'day everyone! Welcome to the new website.
Well I've got my full attention on a new Machinima series at the moment called "The DC Chronicles". It's made in Fallout 3 (by Bethesda Game Studios). Fallout 3 uses the Gamebryo engine, which is the same engine used in TESIV: Oblivion.
Gamebryo has It's ups and downs. It's great because it can support large environments, pretty graphics, and most of all, mod capabilities. The downside? Limited animations, rigid camera/character movement, and a long learning curve.
I've done Machinima with a variety of Engines. Some include Source, Real Virtuality, RAGE, and more. Gamebryo is one of the most challenging so far (from my experience)
Anyway enough technical talk. I'll tell you about the DC Chronicles.
In the DC Chronicles we follow the story of Andrew Grafton, a Vault Dweller out to find a water chip for his vault (Inspired by the original Fallout). Throughout the series, Andrew will encounter different enemies, allies, and scenarios. Click here to watch:
When It comes to Fallout 3 there are many mixed opinions. Some say It doesn't stay true to the Fallout franchise. And others believe it surpases the original. I'm in the middle. Bethesda did a phenomenal job recreating Fallout in a 3D engine and succeeded in making a game worthy of the Fallout title. And for that I applaud them.
In the DC Chronicles I'm trying to add to that experience and bring back those nolstalgic moments we all keep so close to our hearts. Well...for us diehard fans at least.
At first glance it seems like the DC Chronicles is just taking what Fallout 1/2 had and adding some extra story elements. But I assure you, there is more than meets the eye. I won't spoil anything for you right now. You're just going to have to wait and see.
In the meantime please feel free to sign up to the forums and vote on the weekly polls. This website is mostly just an experiment for now. If all goes well I'll probably end up pouring more time into it and adding more features. Thanks for all your support!
Motivation?
