Postmortem:
Micro Forte's Fallout Tactics
Last Word
Given the time restrictions, the scope of the project, and the experience
level of the team I think this project went exceptionally well. There
were a lot of things which we could have done better but hopefully
we will do some of them next time. Unfortunately, while we had hoped
to start on another Interplay project immediately after Fallout
Tactics shipped, this did not eventuate, and in the interim we
had no choice but to let our junior artists and QA team go. Still,
the game has been well received, and we have a number of up and coming
opportunities, so there is a strong chance that we may reemploy some
of the junior artists again.
