In order to get started, I extracted a bunch of the assets from Fallout 4’s core game files using the Bethesda Archive Extractor. This had the added benefit of leading to the acronym ‘F.O.C.K.’ as a play-on-words reference to the in-game G.E.C.K. After a bit of head-scratching, I decided I’d do something that resembled the ubiquitous computer display cabinets that you can find littering the Fallout world, with the general theme that perhaps the layout could lend itself to something like a vault security monitoring room. In light of this variety, I opted to make something that had a lot of discrete, configurable pieces that a user could piece together to their satisfaction. Gamers stream at different resolutions some stream without cameras some have constant feeds of information running with things like their chat or schedule. I decided I wanted to produce something configurable, because it’s hard to produce a one-size-fits-all streaming solution that works for everybody. I figured it’d be interesting to talk about methodology on this a little bit. I got a number of e-mails from visitors to the site asking if I would be updating things for Fallout 76, and it got me thinking of a few fun ideas.

Over time, a number of these assets were included in our webstore, and they’ve sold reasonably well.

This led to black bars on either side of my gaming footage that I tended to fill in with additional graphics.

This started because I used to have a display that ran at 1920×1200, which is a bit off-ratio from the normal 1080p output that streaming expects. As some readers may know, I occasionally work on assets for streaming games.
