I just started Xenonauts and planning on playing Xenonauts 2 since it came out shortly. Although there isn't really a story in these games, I would love to hear the big paragraphs of texts being read by yours truly.
Night guarding is the most brain melting job you can have. It's literally just existing, alone, while appearing to pay attention. The unbearable monotony is enough to fry the human soul, but perhaps the pressure could also spark the fuse of hyper-creation in a very specific breed.
@@ctrouble2309 you *have* to find some kind of hobby or your hobby becomes eating+sugary drinks, which is why so many guards are portly. did that shit for years, taught myself languages to pass the time.
ive worked in private security in california for 2half years. its a really nice job to catch up on some online education. most of the time it is just doing nothing but serious and dangerous stuff does happen in very rare occasions 😂
I’m learning more and more about the other side of the world with each new episode, I was not expecting a demonstration on Anal injection of drugs in my Slavic fallout review video.
I remember spending a ton of time in FOnline2238. The constant suicide bombings of NCR are fond memories. I remember finally joining a crew large enough that we tried to take over one of the northern settlements. It may have been The Hub. Anyway, everyone is broken up across the entrances to the town, ready to gun down anyone who spawns in. Suddenly, five of the people in the vent are freaking out. A blue vault suit just ran by. Do we shoot him? He has a Russian name. A minute passes. Suddenly a trio of power armor thugs drop in, wasting everyone with their rocket launchers and plasma rifles. The crew scatters, trying to take potshots at the invaders, but one by one are blown to pieces. I die with only 1 minute left on the countdown. Good times.
FOnline 2238 was the shit, seriously leaves 76 in the dust in terms of what an online Fallout should be, and this coming from someone with around 1.2k hours in 76. TC Wars was about the most fun I've ever had with a multiplayer game.
Your story sounds just like my experience. Pickpocket griefers were so common in the ncr and you couldn't do anything because the npc soldiers would defend them if they were attacked. My group was going in to start a base only for us to have our resources pickpocketed from us. We were able to try it the second attempt but it took some time. I still remember my time with the kind strangers there. If you somehow find this doc west, thank you for the good memories.
I remember the Interplay Fallout message board back in the before times had a bunch of people clamoring for multiplayer, everyone else said it would be a mess and it looks like they were right.
drop-in drop-out co-op could've worked well/still can as a tack-on feature imo, with the co-op helper being limited in certain ways to ease the strain on the engine. Co-op friends could be non-canonical or fill a not-the-main-character role of some sort. A limitation to 2-4 players would be necessary as well, and it could be great fun, but I don't think we'll see Bethesda going that direction in the near future. It would be nice just to have a co-op Fallout mode available that uses Borderlands balancing rules and is secondary to the core singleplayer RPG experience. I want to be able to play with my friends without playing a pseudo-MMORPGFPS, which is basically what F76 is at this point.
See also: The Elder Scrolls boards before those shut down. Zenimax vastly overestimated the MP audience, pissed off BGS in the process, and it's a large reason they got sold to Microsoft.
@@Supercohboy it's fallout man i think saying "there are two vault dwellers in this timeline" is probably the most minor retcon that's happened to this franchise (god damn you todd)
@@mollybearr Lmao 100%, this is very true. Out of all the games that would need to go out of their way to make excuses for the existence of co-op characters, Fallout isn't one of them.
@Supercohboy it's also funny because fallout is already so close to a game like borderlands in terms of how they distribute loot/enemies/levels that literally all they would need to make it work is adding drop-in/drop-out co-op and have enemy spawns multiply by like 0.5 for every player that joins (0.5 because i don't think the musty dusty crusty ass creation engine can handle 4 players and quadruple enemy spawns realistically)
The bits with Cvet had me rolling, he reminds me a bit of Terry Davis, with FBI agents replaced by zenimax lawyers. The fact that he has a wife and children was a giant plot twist. Such a good video, thank you!
Cvet is my new favorite character in the Warlockracy extended universe. Him threatening Zenimax with a pocket bible is fucking gold, he even worked on my favorite Russian spyware piece of shit scam game I have sunk 2000 hours into and counting
@@hambubger8225was there any actual evidence of Tarkov being used for spyware? I couldn’t find much besides some concerned threads on reddit and such. Regardless, in this day and age complete online security is most likely wishful thinking with the ever evolving malware and spyware
@@brandonmccann15 Prey 2, the true sequel to 2006 Prey, was almost done but Zenimax/Bethesda kept rejecting development milestones on "quality assurance" grounds and kept withholding funds for Human Head Studios, forcing them to take loans from Zenimax to keep functioning. Zenimax did this as an attempt to do a hostile takeover of Human Head, the same way they did with Dishonored's Arkane. They also tried the same with Obsidian during New Vegas.
@@amadeusagripino6862 It's kinda funny. The story of New Vegas, is the story of New Vegas. Sent out to die, and pissed off a lot of people when it didn't!
I love that it's his solution to everything. Zenimax sent a cease and desist letter? "I'll go to America and beat the shit out of them" lol reminds me of that South Park episode with Russel Crowe picking fights all over the world.
I kinda get that sentiment since in a lot of these types of projects "volunteers" or "helpers" are either well-meaning people that have zero skills to actually be helpful or weirdos that are just there to do their own thing without doing the nitty-gritty crap that needs doing to genuinely develop anything.
When FO:OL was in the works, I remember seeing that art of the table with "THE MASTER LIVES" carved on it, and feeling very powerful anti-hype. It said to me "WE HAVE NO IDEAS" The setting for Last Frontier, on the other hand, is intriguing and I hope something actually fleshed out comes out utilizing this Russia/Alaska landbridge idea.
I would hold judgement until the game is released (heh). Could either mean that he literally lives, or that his ideals lived (i.e. a splinter faction of mutants still dedicated to his cause).
@@NoobTamer i assumed it was the later as having the master come back just ruins what the vault dweller had to sacrifice to make him dead in the first place
I know this is random and weirdly specific but the idea of a weird Russian-English hybrid language forming as a common language for different groups to communicate would be cool imo and something a setting like that could explore.
I think you know this by now but Tim Cain has a youtube channel, it would be pretty cool to see you guys interacting/talking about what modding has done for Fallout.
@@Helperbot-2000 Not in details. He's mentioned it once in a charity stream. He is basically aware it existed, but he does not know much about it. Josh Sawyer has at least tried playing.
Cvet is a really enigmatic character. You can’t really tell if he just has a very strange sense or humor, is just straight up bat shit crazy or if the truth is hidden somewhere in the middle.
@@daddyduke126Atleast the whole butt plug drug device was humour. You can't plug anything with something like that (how would that even work?) when all you need is a syringe without a needle. That's how they do it.
I feel like the threats of violence are just macho posturing but I also think it's really funny that he thinks showing up with a bat at the Zenimax office would accomplish anything.
I am one of the developers that worked on Desert Europe, it was a great experience. Many people were interested since it was so different yet familiar to what we had previously in FOnline. I'm always looking back fondly on that time and the people I've met and collaborated with.
I'll never forget the brief time my friend and I tried this (or maybe it was another similar project) in high school. We logged on and traveled for a bit before running into someone who asked if we knew the lord and savior Gachimuchi. My friend started to type back the lyrics to one of the deep dark fantasy videos. The guy then gave us shotguns and metal armor and then we died in the next area to a bunch of rad scorpions. That was a good time
I remember playing too. Two moments came to mind. My first experience, and my last. Some Vault Dweller in the first town convinced me to level up by punching a Brahmin in the ass. It gored me instantly to the tune of 20 guys laughing their asses off. "Welcome to the Wasteland, bitch." The last moment was me scavenging in the wild to get firewood for the camp, and I hear the spooling of machinery. I am turned to giblets by a mini gun, a raider in some messed up power armor appears. "TODAY IS YOUR UNLUCKY DAY" and proceeds to spend 5 minutes RPing peeing on my corpse. The game truly is an enigma.
Slavs never fail to amaze me. It's like they understand OG Fallout on such a profound level that they achieve a form of enlightenment... or just insanity. Can be hard to tell the difference sometimes, especially in modding. Anyway, great stuff as always. Finding out about these projects keeps gaming interesting in a time when the industry is in a sorry state.
Fallout is confirmation bias fuel for former soviets and satellties. A lot of places in these countries even resemble fallout-like environments due to infrastructural decay from corruption or lack of social funding. Fallout is a crystallized, terminal form of this decay a lot of these people grew up experiencing, and in that sense it's somewhat nostalgic and relateable. It's also immediately understandable to this sort of low-to-middle-class citizen in these countries, who has probably experienced the pseudo-primitivism brought upon them by the destruction of education instutions during and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This is the same kind of romanticization of misery that is present in other media such as STALKER and Metro, although Metro has an overall more optimistic worldview.
Yep. Same with Morrowind, really - everybody being racist and standoffish and surviving off of scraps may be a culture shock to Westerners - not so for those who grew up in the Eastern Bloc.
It might have something to do with the OG’s vibes behind immaculate, and the writing being mediocre (so it wouldn’t matter if the translation was shit, as it usually was because most of the copies were pirated) so it led with its best foot forward in the east, as opposed to not quite catching on in America because rpg nerds are used to a higher standard of writing
@@A_Simple_Neurose That's a bit far fetched even for the poorest of regions, i'd say it became popular because high end computers weren't available for a long long time, so people played older games more than in the west, where newer titles were more accessible and gamers had a variety of consoles as well. Also Fallout had a pretty good and memeable localization, and PC games magazines were popular, which cemented the cult following. But from the ideological standpoint, America being a nuclear wasteland certainly is a significant bonus for many in ex-USSR for sure lol
My first FO experience I met a guy in front of vault city that had placed a lot of beer bottles to form a giant swastika. He was nice though he gave us some equipement.
What a ride. Never in my life have I sat down and thought "You know what, I want to play the classic fallouts with a bunch of strangers that will inevitably say that they have fornicated with my mom in 6 different foreign regional dialects and proceed to kill me until I quit playing."
Free2play games with a large Russian/Chinese player base get wild, just the other day I was told that I am a dog and my mother fornicate with animals, those exact words.. Not sure what translation the Chinese use or how much is lost in translation, but shit is hilarious. 😂
@INSANESUICIDE A chinese friend once told me that a proper insult covers at least 2-3 generations of your family. It's like the person your insulting is so dumb/useless/whatever that It's not just their fault but multiple generations of failing.
No because his derives an actual endpoint, Terrorist groups almost never have an endpoint, their purpose is to foment a rebellion where it can.@@Sleck06
My experience with Fonline was joining, realizing that you start with about 500 caps and that you can store money in the first town, re-making my character 10 times and hiding the caps in the same container and then after finally leaving the town with my money getting mugged by some player in power armour and losing everything. 10/10 would get shot again
13:34 Królewska Federacja Wschodu. Yes it does sound better. Mostly because "East" and "Rise" are the same word like "rising sun". It really makes it sound more optimistic or "New World Order" vibe.
Several days ago a man approached me, asking for 200 rubles (2$) in exchange of him shoplifting stuff for me. Unfortunately, I had only 1400 rubles (14$) to my name and haf already shoplifted from the very shop he wanted to target and planned to drink away 1000 of 1400 rubles in the nearby bar
So strange to see my own character from such an obscure thing like TNF on 1:39 - the guy in a jumpsuit. I played as Bradley Myers - a consul from the Vault City. Though we managed to save some advanced tech from the underground complex, eventually we lost our influence in the town to the NCR and we were also annexed by them later as the new state.
As a tween, MMOs (specifically Star Wars Galaxies and EVE Online) were my first real taste at crafting a narrative in a virtual world, and they've flavored my video game tastes ever since. Great video.
I remember trying to get into FO years ago. I wasted thousands of hours in F2 and to a lesser extent F1, so I was pretty enthusiastic about a shot at a multiplayer experience in Fallout world. I spent some time looking at a sparse tutorial, but it had almost no info in English and there wasn't much in Polish as well. Then I spawned in the outskirts of NCR capital from F2. I walked around, talked to some NPC's and had to leave the town. I ran from some griefers only to get caught by the next ones and die. Rinse and repeat. Honestly, if I wanted to be shot by Russians I would just be born earlier. Not one player answered any queries or callouts and the city was sparse in player count anyway. I gave up fairly quickly but my brother played on and off for a few years, but he was a kid speaking very moderate English, so he just joined some group that fought others in PvP and, as I assume, griefed others. Should ask him someday. I think someone actually did the bomb thing to him once. Honestly, I think that most of the sandbox MMOs' population brought their own games to extinction themselves. If all your experience is getting owned in a skill-based game like CS: GO, then you could try to get better and at least land some shots. In RPG you just give up and play something else as the game is literary rigged from the start. Skill issue? Maybe. FO seemed like a logical basis for a good light RP-based experience but the game did nothing to give newb a shot at trying it before getting curb-stomped. Unlike in forum-based RP there was still enough gameplay to avoid people trying to force everyone to live their shitty fanfiction. A bit of a shame really, but many good, paid projects, like Neocron, failed likewise, so I can't blame the guy. It's pretty impressive what he achieved anyway and I wish those still playing best.
Well, I'll be damned... I played this beautiful garbage somewhere around 2009 on several iterations of the open-beta TLA server. In my experience, the project was in its prime then. Before the release (leaking by the rebel dev faction) of the dev kit. There were two servers: english speaking 2238 with polished game mechanics (better craft, NPC-guarded safe areas, actual working quests), and russian speaking TLA which was a completely chaotic experience. Constant deathmatch. It led to organic player factions with zero in-game systems to support, at least until the release of the tool that lets you change the color of the nametag by having a .txt file that was shared by factions on forums. Politics was quite simple. Even in the close beta players teamed up to kill/troll/raid other players and noobs. Thus the 3-4 bad/chaotic factions were born each with different flavors. They were called "гопники" (thugs?). Naturally "good" guys teamed up in anti-thug (анти-гопники) alliances. If good guys were successful they could guard a town for a while, providing noobs or "pajama-wearers" (пижамники, referring to vault suit sprite) a place to trade/roleplay/find a team. At least before a thug-raid would run into the town and start to massacre everyone and then the cycle would repeat in the same location. I played when such location was a Klamath, a hub for players. In it a religion was born, preached by a player named Fabias. Worship of the flower of Brock and Xander root (in-game items used to craft healing powder) and followed by some symbolic understanding of them and forum-posted theology articles. Roleplayed with "ascetic, pacifist preaching". By converting and roleplaying early I got the honorable title "Archbishop of the NCR" and was sent to preach in the Shady Sands, a new attempt to create a safe, guarded location. It eventually failed and with it, I forgot about this bit of roleplay. Much later I suddenly discovered that the church of Brok and Xander alive and well, joined up with an pvp-oriented faction, creating some sort of crusader order. I was even invited to meetings by being on old lists of "bishops". Even thou at that time I roleplayed as a barmen in Broken Hills, when it was a huge guarded hub with mayor, prison and traders . I was present at the "Battle for Broken Hills" (4:36 in the video), between the coalition of good factions and 3-4 teams of player killers. At that time rocket launchers were the meta, thus the constant screen-shaking. Anyway, the "prophet" Fabias left the game, and not long after, someone discovered that he studied a religion IRL at that time, and all that could have been his thesis or smth.
Hello, fellow congregant! Pleasure to meet a Broken Hills veteran. I knew someone from ru server would remember the church of Brok and Xander. Fabias and his cermons were one of the coolest things this game had to offer roleplay-wise. He was truly a man of great spiritual vision and he once told me "don't be a p*ssy" before we went on a crusade against gopniks where I instantly perished. But ever since then I've never disobeyed the words of our prophet!
Once I had a pretty bad flu and I fell asleep while listening to your Emba-5 Morrowind video. Now every time I watch your videos I can't help but think I'm experiencing some wild hallucinations brought by fever
The saddest part is that if fo76 played more into being a true mmo and less being post apoc destiny 2 we could have gotten closer to what Interplays Fallout Online was in concept. A great example that was heavily neglected but still functioned well is Fallen Earth.
I remember playing FOnline 2238. My friend learned basic russian sentences to blurt out when encountering high level parties just so they spare us. Surprisingly, it worked.
This video was unexpectedly hilarious, a gem as always. While it is somewhat depressing to hear of lost potential, passion projects, and dreams that fell by the wayside and exist on some dusty part of the internet populated only by dead hyperlinks and poorly written comments, it was worth it to hear "Give your money to criminals" and "Six-dimensional Eurasian racism", as well as glean insights from what is clearly the world's most interesting game developer. I don't know how guys like CliffyB became rockstar game dev celebritys when Cvet was around...
I played FO 2238 in 2013-2014, created countless characters and builds, shoveled tons of bramin dung to level them up. Got recruited to a polish clan by a guy who killed me, great guys. Fought in town controls and pve dungeons. Damn I miss these times so much
@@scatman786 Noah Caldwell-Gervais, he makes very long video essays on video games and some other things. Not my personal cup of tea but he's fairly popular.
Meh Warlockracy is the real deal, couldn't be fucked learning / wasting my time with a lesser tier. Guy may be named Noah, but I doubt he has more of an imagination than Warlock. Also how'd the boat turn out? More use in America currently than any other documented time period where Noah is concerned. MEH
I remember playing one version of FOnline in 2012 or 13... Or 11? I don't remember the year, it was a weird time in my life. Anyway... It was a very fun experience. I joined a clan, and how communications worked, was that you had to have radios, like if you remember Fallout 2, you had to bring Vic a radio? That kind of military walkie-talkie. You set the radio to a frequency that was agreed upon by the clan. We had several frequencies, one for raiding, one for other discussions.. If you killed an enemy player and they failed to reset their radio, you could get their frequencies and spy on them. Fun times, much more fun than Fallout 76, or anything that Bethesda ever made concerning Fallout, really...
This video was a wild ride in seeing the development of a Fallout Online before the disaster that was Fallout 76 showcasing how some random security guard in Belarus would code an entire engine and bring the chaos of human interaction into the world of Fallout, massive respect to Cvet for not only defending modders against Zenimax, but also since a similar success story was Chris Hunt, another security guard who worked on Kenshi in his spare time, and also was not expecting Cvet to have a "demonstration" of how he takes "vitamins" via a butt chug. Another amazing video Warlock and I hope to see you cover that expansion to Fallout Sonora soon!
I remember playing FOnline 2238 a bit. My biggest memory was stumbling upon some players fighting on the world map, the winners leaving, and me looting the losers' corpses for (relatively) high level equipment. Felt kinda cool, honestly.
Goddamn, the live footage balcony bit is so surreal and out of place it feels like you're baiting us with it, but it actually happened. Internet is so amazing
Svet is such an interesting character, he feels like someone you'd see a 20 hour documentary series on youtube about Also I love your sort of "split narrative" style of videos, always was an interesting style
he at one point got extremely buff and had a yt video of himself called "DJ sexbeast" in which he DJ'd in some garden party topless, I hope its not lost to time because he took it off his yt chanell years back
@@JoseJose-e2i You shouldn't, In recent years he was back on drugs and ran a scam about "LE NEW FONLINE COMING OUT PLEASE DONATE ON PATREON" then dissapeard and brought drugs
"a classic community video" got me rolling. Makes me miss slavic unhinged gamedev communities of 00 and 10s fuelled by memes and heavy drugs. These days its mostly furries and femboys, back then it was maniacs and edgelords like Cvet lmao
That response to the probably fake legal letter was fucking incredible, LMAO I wish every modding/emulator/etc. creator responded to mega corps attempts to shut them down in a similar war, amazing.
On the topic of extremely unknown Fallout related games the western version of this would have to be a modification for a game called "space station 13" its called Fallout13. space station 13 is an RP game and so is Fallout13 but as a game its actually pretty decent and fun and is actually alive (ish)
@@francesco3772 Hahaha thats true but... Its more western. I mean F13 is arguably the least Russian part of SS13. Atleast nowadays. Dont see any Russian servers.
Holy shit, what a wild ride, i refuse to believe Cvet is a person, he is instead a character, he might even be the protagonist of this world's real life video game.
as weird as it is to say, 'petty tyrant' Anton Tsvetinsky fascinates me. The notion of playing at such Machiavellian power games over something comparatively minor as... programming an obscure MMO game. He strikes me as the kind of guy that, had he an ounce of power, would make a really funny Tropico "dictator facts" loading screen snippet.
Ah I remember playing beta when it was just out. There was a hacker dude in an Enclave armor who killed everyone. We even tried to gang up on him wearing gauss rifles and combat armor but he had infinite HP
I love how randomly bizarre this video becomes. One second we're talking about an abandoned community game set in Fallout, the next we're being shown a DIY lifehack on how to inject methadone into your ass.
The "Underling" drawing at 24:10 is taken from a book called "Scary stories to tell in the dark" or possibly the 2nd book. It's a collection of spooky stories and fucking horrific drawings that haunted me as a child :)
$h!t you are right! I remember magazine/encyclopedia series about monsters, anomalies, murder mysteries called something like that when I was in the kindergarten.
Very short, albeit uneventful story. I believe this was the FOnline Reloaded server, but I recall meeting a random guy with my friends, his name was just Marc. He was on his quest to find, if the RUclips comments allow it, "wenches of Latin American descent with rather large buttocks". We had decided to take him with us on our journey, although it was short lived as he went into the wasteland after an encounter with pig rats. Not long after that we decided to make a cult aptly naming it "Cult of Marc", continuing his legacy. honestly not much happened after that aside from us getting lit up because we only wore robes and one of us had a throwing build where they threw jackets and molotovs at people
The art for Fallout Europe (or whatever its name is) on 14:06 looks a bit like a reference to the characters from the Ukrainian sketch comedy show "Каламбур" (Calambour) that was aired in Ukraine and Russia (don't know about other countries) in late 90s and early 00s. Left one looks inspired by the tank commander from "Железный капут" (Iron Kaput) segment about German experimental supertank sent to Africa to conquer local tribes. The comedy is built upon the stupidity of the crew and being constantly defeated by a primitive tribe. While speech is in Russian, part of the jokes are understandable without translation due to their visual nature. Right one looks a bit like a guy from "Деревня дураков" (Village of the Fools) segment about an ex-soldier still wearing uniform hat (like the one on image) and sporting ridiculous moustache (that got manifested as air tube on the art) constantly trying to get drunk with his friend Sailor and trying to avoid his wife who's against such plans. It has no words, so no translation needed. You can find the videos by searching for original Russian names on RUclips. Since the show is old and not aired anymore, studio was kind enough to upload a lot of content.
I remember playing many different iterations of FOnline back in the day. The Life After, FOnline: 2238, FOnline Reloaded, Fonline: Ashes Of Phoenix. I was part of big polish clan (or "gang" as we used to call them in the comminity) Bang Bang Smash (well, mostly polish. We had few Slovak guys too). We used to raid towns, start gang wars and obliterate NCR at one point. Good times.
BBS is here town is safe I was in the North American and Dutch scrub gang “the outcasts” we were allies of the French Amboy Dukes. Good times fighting the Hawks for gecko.
I played some versions of fallout online with a friend, (not even sure if it was the same project) in one of them, we found a player called "hugs", who was in one of the trader locations in the game, using sneak and pickpocket to rob everyone who entered the building. There were exploits in every imaginable way lol
Story of FO and Cvet leaves a warm, cosy feeling in my chest (like a lamp amplifier, as Russians would say). Ahh, the Slavic gamedev mod scene. I was a part of HOMM3 HOTA team at some point, and released an expansion from Majesty 2, called Cold Sunrise. Both teams were slavic. Both teams had a very distinct vibe. Both teams' story could easily be made in a Fallout-like RPG, the characters and setting would have been excellent. Thanks Warlockracy for this window into a time that no longer exists.
I remember during closed beta, one tester leaked a password to dvach. Me with other anons were running around wreaking havoc before they shut down servers and banned all us. After that, one of anons wrote a PETITION to svet, calling him an asshole.
I remember being a naive teenager who was convinced by my friend to play FO online, I bought the hype he was pitching me. It was immediately crushed when I got in game and was killed by a Russian player with power armor and mini gun. I never turned back. Great video.
This video is such a rabbit hole journey, some of it is so ludicrous that I genuinely had to pause it and stop laughing. love this. keep up the good work.
say what you will but undeniably there is no words to describe how hard it is to not only follow through with the desire to make a mod but to MAKE ALL THIS and make it WORK and not want money for it is incredible. I am not done watching this video though so i hope hes not a pedo or anything
There is so much more to discover regarding cvet´s adventures and different fonline projects. Most of Cvet´s videos were removed, but I think someone in community have saved them, some pretty epic stuff. Maybe you could try to contact him directly and do interview? In this video comments I found so many old familiar names, so equally hello to everyone and see you in the wasteland if we ever meet again!
Cant believe you missed out the biggest active FOnline server Fallout Online 2 (Fonline2) as well as the biggest servers that ever existed before they died, reloaded and 2238
There WERE attempts to make the wiki, multiple times. The active devs usually never used em anyway, for being either low skill, using hugely altered engines so they cant use the shared one or language barriers. Shame you dont mention 2238, first english server. As for the TLA, during OBT2 there were already PK vs APK (Player killer vs Anti PK) factions. Backdoor has much longer story but I get why you didn't bother covering it :D Btw there was also another server which was going to be set in something like medieval china, but creator disappeared quickly, sadly. // Upd. You can dynamically zoom in/out in game

I remember spending a ton of time in FOnline2238. The constant suicide bombings of NCR are fond memories. I remember finally joining a crew large enough that we tried to take over one of the northern settlements. It may have been The Hub. Anyway, everyone is broken up across the entrances to the town, ready to gun down anyone who spawns in. Suddenly, five of the people in the vent are freaking out. A blue vault suit just ran by. Do we shoot him? He has a Russian name. A minute passes. Suddenly a trio of power armor thugs drop in, wasting everyone with their rocket launchers and plasma rifles. The crew scatters, trying to take potshots at the invaders, but one by one are blown to pieces. I die with only 1 minute left on the countdown. Good times.
FOnline 2238 was the shit, seriously leaves 76 in the dust in terms of what an online Fallout should be, and this coming from someone with around 1.2k hours in 76. TC Wars was about the most fun I've ever had with a multiplayer game.
Btw, that blue suit was likely a scout haha. Someone probably ran across town with that character, then switched to a PA bruiser when he finished.
Your story sounds just like my experience. Pickpocket griefers were so common in the ncr and you couldn't do anything because the npc soldiers would defend them if they were attacked. My group was going in to start a base only for us to have our resources pickpocketed from us. We were able to try it the second attempt but it took some time. I still remember my time with the kind strangers there. If you somehow find this doc west, thank you for the good memories.

I remember the Interplay Fallout message board back in the before times had a bunch of people clamoring for multiplayer, everyone else said it would be a mess and it looks like they were right.
drop-in drop-out co-op could've worked well/still can as a tack-on feature imo, with the co-op helper being limited in certain ways to ease the strain on the engine. Co-op friends could be non-canonical or fill a not-the-main-character role of some sort. A limitation to 2-4 players would be necessary as well, and it could be great fun, but I don't think we'll see Bethesda going that direction in the near future. It would be nice just to have a co-op Fallout mode available that uses Borderlands balancing rules and is secondary to the core singleplayer RPG experience. I want to be able to play with my friends without playing a pseudo-MMORPGFPS, which is basically what F76 is at this point.

@@Supercohboy it's fallout man i think saying "there are two vault dwellers in this timeline" is probably the most minor retcon that's happened to this franchise (god damn you todd)
@@mollybearr Lmao 100%, this is very true. Out of all the games that would need to go out of their way to make excuses for the existence of co-op characters, Fallout isn't one of them.
@Supercohboy it's also funny because fallout is already so close to a game like borderlands in terms of how they distribute loot/enemies/levels that literally all they would need to make it work is adding drop-in/drop-out co-op and have enemy spawns multiply by like 0.5 for every player that joins (0.5 because i don't think the musty dusty crusty ass creation engine can handle 4 players and quadruple enemy spawns realistically)

I am one of the developers that worked on Desert Europe, it was a great experience. Many people were interested since it was so different yet familiar to what we had previously in FOnline. I'm always looking back fondly on that time and the people I've met and collaborated with.
I'll never forget the brief time my friend and I tried this (or maybe it was another similar project) in high school. We logged on and traveled for a bit before running into someone who asked if we knew the lord and savior Gachimuchi. My friend started to type back the lyrics to one of the deep dark fantasy videos.

Some Vault Dweller in the first town convinced me to level up by punching a Brahmin in the ass.
It gored me instantly to the tune of 20 guys laughing their asses off. "Welcome to the Wasteland, bitch."
The last moment was me scavenging in the wild to get firewood for the camp, and I hear the spooling of machinery.
I am turned to giblets by a mini gun, a raider in some messed up power armor appears. "TODAY IS YOUR UNLUCKY DAY" and proceeds to spend 5 minutes RPing peeing on my corpse.
The game truly is an enigma.
Slavs never fail to amaze me. It's like they understand OG Fallout on such a profound level that they achieve a form of enlightenment... or just insanity. Can be hard to tell the difference sometimes, especially in modding.
Anyway, great stuff as always. Finding out about these projects keeps gaming interesting in a time when the industry is in a sorry state.
Fallout is confirmation bias fuel for former soviets and satellties. A lot of places in these countries even resemble fallout-like environments due to infrastructural decay from corruption or lack of social funding. Fallout is a crystallized, terminal form of this decay a lot of these people grew up experiencing, and in that sense it's somewhat nostalgic and relateable. It's also immediately understandable to this sort of low-to-middle-class citizen in these countries, who has probably experienced the pseudo-primitivism brought upon them by the destruction of education instutions during and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This is the same kind of romanticization of misery that is present in other media such as STALKER and Metro, although Metro has an overall more optimistic worldview.
Yep. Same with Morrowind, really - everybody being racist and standoffish and surviving off of scraps may be a culture shock to Westerners - not so for those who grew up in the Eastern Bloc.
It might have something to do with the OG’s vibes behind immaculate, and the writing being mediocre (so it wouldn’t matter if the translation was shit, as it usually was because most of the copies were pirated) so it led with its best foot forward in the east, as opposed to not quite catching on in America because rpg nerds are used to a higher standard of writing
@@A_Simple_Neurose That's a bit far fetched even for the poorest of regions, i'd say it became popular because high end computers weren't available for a long long time, so people played older games more than in the west, where newer titles were more accessible and gamers had a variety of consoles as well. Also Fallout had a pretty good and memeable localization, and PC games magazines were popular, which cemented the cult following.
But from the ideological standpoint, America being a nuclear wasteland certainly is a significant bonus for many in ex-USSR for sure lol

So strange to see my own character from such an obscure thing like TNF on 1:39 - the guy in a jumpsuit. I played as Bradley Myers - a consul from the Vault City.

As a tween, MMOs (specifically Star Wars Galaxies and EVE Online) were my first real taste at crafting a narrative in a virtual world, and they've flavored my video game tastes ever since. Great video.
I remember trying to get into FO years ago. I wasted thousands of hours in F2 and to a lesser extent F1, so I was pretty enthusiastic about a shot at a multiplayer experience in Fallout world.
I spent some time looking at a sparse tutorial, but it had almost no info in English and there wasn't much in Polish as well. Then I spawned in the outskirts of NCR capital from F2. I walked around, talked to some NPC's and had to leave the town. I ran from some griefers only to get caught by the next ones and die. Rinse and repeat. Honestly, if I wanted to be shot by Russians I would just be born earlier. Not one player answered any queries or callouts and the city was sparse in player count anyway.
I gave up fairly quickly but my brother played on and off for a few years, but he was a kid speaking very moderate English, so he just joined some group that fought others in PvP and, as I assume, griefed others. Should ask him someday. I think someone actually did the bomb thing to him once.
Honestly, I think that most of the sandbox MMOs' population brought their own games to extinction themselves. If all your experience is getting owned in a skill-based game like CS: GO, then you could try to get better and at least land some shots. In RPG you just give up and play something else as the game is literary rigged from the start. Skill issue? Maybe.
FO seemed like a logical basis for a good light RP-based experience but the game did nothing to give newb a shot at trying it before getting curb-stomped. Unlike in forum-based RP there was still enough gameplay to avoid people trying to force everyone to live their shitty fanfiction. A bit of a shame really, but many good, paid projects, like Neocron, failed likewise, so I can't blame the guy. It's pretty impressive what he achieved anyway and I wish those still playing best.

This guy is like a character SsethTzeentach would make in an rpg, except he's a real person.

I played this beautiful garbage somewhere around 2009 on several iterations of the open-beta TLA server.
In my experience, the project was in its prime then. Before the release (leaking by the rebel dev faction) of the dev kit.
There were two servers: english speaking 2238 with polished game mechanics (better craft, NPC-guarded safe areas, actual working quests), and russian speaking TLA which was a completely chaotic experience. Constant deathmatch.
It led to organic player factions with zero in-game systems to support, at least until the release of the tool that lets you change the color of the nametag by having a .txt file that was shared by factions on forums.
Politics was quite simple. Even in the close beta players teamed up to kill/troll/raid other players and noobs. Thus the 3-4 bad/chaotic factions were born each with different flavors. They were called "гопники" (thugs?). Naturally "good" guys teamed up in anti-thug (анти-гопники) alliances.
If good guys were successful they could guard a town for a while, providing noobs or "pajama-wearers" (пижамники, referring to vault suit sprite) a place to trade/roleplay/find a team. At least before a thug-raid would run into the town and start to massacre everyone and then the cycle would repeat in the same location.
I played when such location was a Klamath, a hub for players. In it a religion was born, preached by a player named Fabias. Worship of the flower of Brock and Xander root (in-game items used to craft healing powder) and followed by some symbolic understanding of them and forum-posted theology articles. Roleplayed with "ascetic, pacifist preaching". By converting and roleplaying early I got the honorable title "Archbishop of the NCR" and was sent to preach in the Shady Sands, a new attempt to create a safe, guarded location. It eventually failed and with it, I forgot about this bit of roleplay. Much later I suddenly discovered that the church of Brok and Xander alive and well, joined up with an pvp-oriented faction, creating some sort of crusader order. I was even invited to meetings by being on old lists of "bishops". Even thou at that time I roleplayed as a barmen in Broken Hills, when it was a huge guarded hub with mayor, prison and traders . I was present at the "Battle for Broken Hills" (4:36 in the video), between the coalition of good factions and 3-4 teams of player killers. At that time rocket launchers were the meta, thus the constant screen-shaking.
Anyway, the "prophet" Fabias left the game, and not long after, someone discovered that he studied a religion IRL at that time, and all that could have been his thesis or smth.
Ahaha
Mans used Fonline for a fucking College assignment. Absolute fucking Chad
Hello, fellow congregant! Pleasure to meet a Broken Hills veteran. I knew someone from ru server would remember the church of Brok and Xander. Fabias and his cermons were one of the coolest things this game had to offer roleplay-wise.
He was truly a man of great spiritual vision and he once told me "don't be a p*ssy" before we went on a crusade against gopniks where I instantly perished. But ever since then I've never disobeyed the words of our prophet!

I remember playing one version of FOnline in 2012 or 13... Or 11? I don't remember the year, it was a weird time in my life. Anyway... It was a very fun experience. I joined a clan, and how communications worked, was that you had to have radios, like if you remember Fallout 2, you had to bring Vic a radio? That kind of military walkie-talkie. You set the radio to a frequency that was agreed upon by the clan. We had several frequencies, one for raiding, one for other discussions.. If you killed an enemy player and they failed to reset their radio, you could get their frequencies and spy on them. Fun times, much more fun than Fallout 76, or anything that Bethesda ever made concerning Fallout, really...
This video was a wild ride in seeing the development of a Fallout Online before the disaster that was Fallout 76 showcasing how some random security guard in Belarus would code an entire engine and bring the chaos of human interaction into the world of Fallout, massive respect to Cvet for not only defending modders against Zenimax, but also since a similar success story was Chris Hunt, another security guard who worked on Kenshi in his spare time, and also was not expecting Cvet to have a "demonstration" of how he takes "vitamins" via a butt chug.

The "Underling" drawing at 24:10 is taken from a book called "Scary stories to tell in the dark" or possibly the 2nd book. It's a collection of spooky stories and fucking horrific drawings that haunted me as a child :)
$h!t you are right! I remember magazine/encyclopedia series about monsters, anomalies, murder mysteries called something like that when I was in the kindergarten.
Very short, albeit uneventful story. I believe this was the FOnline Reloaded server, but I recall meeting a random guy with my friends, his name was just Marc.
He was on his quest to find, if the RUclips comments allow it, "wenches of Latin American descent with rather large buttocks".
We had decided to take him with us on our journey, although it was short lived as he went into the wasteland after an encounter with pig rats. Not long after that we decided to make a cult aptly naming it "Cult of Marc", continuing his legacy.
honestly not much happened after that aside from us getting lit up because we only wore robes and one of us had a throwing build where they threw jackets and molotovs at people
Cvet sounds like a real character. A cartoon character, but a character nonetheless.
The art for Fallout Europe (or whatever its name is) on 14:06 looks a bit like a reference to the characters from the Ukrainian sketch comedy show "Каламбур" (Calambour) that was aired in Ukraine and Russia (don't know about other countries) in late 90s and early 00s.
Left one looks inspired by the tank commander from "Железный капут" (Iron Kaput) segment about German experimental supertank sent to Africa to conquer local tribes. The comedy is built upon the stupidity of the crew and being constantly defeated by a primitive tribe. While speech is in Russian, part of the jokes are understandable without translation due to their visual nature.
Right one looks a bit like a guy from "Деревня дураков" (Village of the Fools) segment about an ex-soldier still wearing uniform hat (like the one on image) and sporting ridiculous moustache (that got manifested as air tube on the art) constantly trying to get drunk with his friend Sailor and trying to avoid his wife who's against such plans. It has no words, so no translation needed.
You can find the videos by searching for original Russian names on RUclips. Since the show is old and not aired anymore, studio was kind enough to upload a lot of content.
I remember playing many different iterations of FOnline back in the day. The Life After, FOnline: 2238, FOnline Reloaded, Fonline: Ashes Of Phoenix. I was part of big polish clan (or "gang" as we used to call them in the comminity) Bang Bang Smash (well, mostly polish. We had few Slovak guys too). We used to raid towns, start gang wars and obliterate NCR at one point. Good times.
BBS were always the kings on the 2238 server! I used to hate your guys guts but in hindsight you made the game much more alive and interesting! :D
There were also Czechoslovak gangs like VSB and Hawks.
BBS is here town is safe
I was in the North American and Dutch scrub gang “the outcasts” we were allies of the French Amboy Dukes. Good times fighting the Hawks for gecko.
I swear its like i step into a whole new world when I watch your videos.
I played some versions of fallout online with a friend, (not even sure if it was the same project) in one of them, we found a player called "hugs", who was in one of the trader locations in the game, using sneak and pickpocket to rob everyone who entered the building. There were exploits in every imaginable way lol
Now this is real games journalism
I use the map maker for FO:O to make overview tabletop maps for TTRPGs, a lot easier than the FO:1-2 map tools.
Could you provide some examples? 😊
Used to play this wo much, particularly as a Super Mutant, good to see it getting coverage
Story of FO and Cvet leaves a warm, cosy feeling in my chest (like a lamp amplifier, as Russians would say). Ahh, the Slavic gamedev mod scene. I was a part of HOMM3 HOTA team at some point, and released an expansion from Majesty 2, called Cold Sunrise. Both teams were slavic. Both teams had a very distinct vibe. Both teams' story could easily be made in a Fallout-like RPG, the characters and setting would have been excellent. Thanks Warlockracy for this window into a time that no longer exists.
I can hear your smile in these videos.
That makes me kinda happy.
Mad respect for the creator. Having fun with his hobby and not giving any f. If I had the money then I would support his drug addiction.
I remember during closed beta, one tester leaked a password to dvach. Me with other anons were running around wreaking havoc before they shut down servers and banned all us. After that, one of anons wrote a PETITION to svet, calling him an asshole.
For a moment I expected the bit where you bring up World of Warships to seamlessly transition into a sponsored bit lmao. Thanks RUclips conditioning.
Cvet is truly the most game developer that ever developed game.
I remember being a naive teenager who was convinced by my friend to play FO online, I bought the hype he was pitching me. It was immediately crushed when I got in game and was killed by a Russian player with power armor and mini gun. I never turned back. Great video.
This video is such a rabbit hole journey, some of it is so ludicrous that I genuinely had to pause it and stop laughing. love this. keep up the good work.
His attempt to not laugh when he read "time to take out the trash" from patron
Svet looks like he's one grin away from a perfect troll face.
say what you will but undeniably there is no words to describe how hard it is to not only follow through with the desire to make a mod but to MAKE ALL THIS and make it WORK and not want money for it is incredible.
I am not done watching this video though so i hope hes not a pedo or anything
There is so much more to discover regarding cvet´s adventures and different fonline projects. Most of Cvet´s videos were removed, but I think someone in community have saved them, some pretty epic stuff. Maybe you could try to contact him directly and do interview? In this video comments I found so many old familiar names, so equally hello to everyone and see you in the wasteland if we ever meet again!
because fonline, fonline never changes
Cant believe you missed out the biggest active FOnline server Fallout Online 2 (Fonline2) as well as the biggest servers that ever existed before they died, reloaded and 2238
There was a bit about Reloaded, but I ended up removing it because I made fun of the main quest they had and the bit felt unnecessary mean.
@@shotgunner2039 Still important fonline history
Yeah he really dropped the ball here. Those servers had actual American and Brazilian player bases too with multiple factions at times
I love this channel for teaching me about the crazy Russian gaming community it makes me wish I knew Russians just so I can understand this insanity
I love the editing on this, cutting back and forth between unhinged Cvet interview and the Graveyard of Weird FOnline Fan Projects
Это так не привычно слушать видос на американском английском, а в видео видеть один русский
There WERE attempts to make the wiki, multiple times. The active devs usually never used em anyway, for being either low skill, using hugely altered engines so they cant use the shared one or language barriers.
Shame you dont mention 2238, first english server.
As for the TLA, during OBT2 there were already PK vs APK (Player killer vs Anti PK) factions.
Backdoor has much longer story but I get why you didn't bother covering it :D
Btw there was also another server which was going to be set in something like medieval china, but creator disappeared quickly, sadly.
