Over a month and no update. Well, been busy with Real Life (tm), new games (Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption) and modding. Anyway, progress with mod is great, still a little worried if I can meet my deadline (August) with all intended content. New areas:
* Radiated ruins is a radioactive ruins of business park area. There are still some surviving buildings, but most have collapsed due to bombing. Enemies lurk in dark areas but precious loot is to be found. Beyond the ruins there are silhouettes of powerplant and electricity pylons.

* Powerplant is a home to one major factions; the Ghouls. Inspired by FO2, Van Buren, "I am Legend" and I think there are even some X-men references in my design material. The powerplant exterior design succeeded nicely and I'm very happy with the interior so far (1 of 2 done). So, even though there are other works that influenced design here, there are still original ideas and I'm happy with the characters & places & scenarios I've designed.
Both these areas are in the northern part of the map. Sam, one of the four explorers, is heading this way. I wonder what is his fate :-) My next blog entry will introduce the Four Explorers.
One thing I'm very proud of is the system of script that responds to player killing some patrols in the wasteland. Some members will try to run to base and warn others making that faction hostile to player. Player can of course set up traps or just shoot the scouts to stop them alarming the whole base :-D
See you soon with Sam, Jade and Mark :-)
