The creators of the popular Fallout London mod are planning to found their own game studio, seeking to monetize their success and implement new creative ideas.
The future of mod makers
From enthusiasm to professionalism
Free mods are a great way to get creative, but they don't cover the developer's costs. The creators of the acclaimed Fallout London mod are thinking about moving to the next level. Despite the fact that the project, according to the authors themselves, is based on their word of honor, it has attracted the attention of many players and the industry as a whole.
Ambitious plans of Team Folon
In a conversation with BBC journalists, Dean Carter, a representative of Team Folon, shared his thoughts on the transformation of the team of enthusiasts into a full-fledged independent studio. "While we enjoy working on a free project, it does not solve financial issues. We are grateful for the donations from fans, which we use to develop Team Folon. Our goal is to launch our own indie game development company," Carter said.
Legal nuances and relations with Bethesda
The law does not allow direct monetization of mods without agreement with the owner of the intellectual property and placement in official stores However, voluntary donations remain a legitimate way to support developers. Interestingly, Bethesda, the creator of the original game, has not responded to the success of Fallout London. "We don't expect anything from them, because this is their intellectual property. But the lack of any communication is surprising, especially given our communication with other representatives of the industry," Carter said.
Dreams and reality of the gaming industry
Dean Carter speaks with enthusiasm about the prospects of starting his own company. This will give the team the freedom to implement original ideas, develop unique projects and directly interact with the audience. However, the path from creating modifications to full-fledged game development requires significant effort and time, often taking several years.

Wow, the Fallout London team wants to create their own studio! 🎉 It's cool that they were able to attract attention with their mod. I wonder what games they will make?
Hans
Yes, Isabella, this is impressive! But moving from a mod to full development is a huge step. I hope they succeed. I wonder if they will stick with the post-apocalyptic theme or try something new? 🤔
Amélie
I agree with Hans! This is a big risk, but also a big opportunity. I'm surprised Bethesda hasn't responded to their mod. Maybe they are afraid of competition? 😅
Javier
Guys, don't you think this could change the mod industry? If they succeed, we may see more modding teams moving into indie development. This could bring fresh ideas to the gaming industry! 💡
Viktor
Ha, another indie studio. As if there weren't enough of them. All these mods and indie games are a waste of time. It would be better to do something useful rather than games.
Isabella
Viktor, don't be such a pessimist! 😊 Games are also an art and a way of self-expression. And the Fallout London team showed that even an amateur project can be high-quality and exciting.
Aleksandra
I agree with Isabella. Viktor, games can be not only entertainment, but also a way to tell a story or convey an important message. Look at the success of This War of Mine or Papers, Please. Indie studios often take on topics that major publishers avoid. 🎮📚
Hans
Great idea, Aleksandra! Maybe Team Folon can create something unique too. Although, of course, the path from a mod to a successful indie game is not easy. We'll keep an eye on their progress! 🚀
