Yes, it's shaping up to be a very unique and awesome experience like Fallout series, Metro series and Stalker series. Set in a future past.

I can't wait. They need to open up preorders now!

[ChrisG]

Hello!!

Some news would be really awesome!! Please?? :)

I hope you will reveal more info soon.

[ZIGS]

I hope this wasn't cancelled like Captain Blood

"Unfortunately the development process on Nuclear Union has been currently suspended due to some issues within the development team, but I do believe these problems will be solved soon and we’ll be able to announce the new release date as it surely will shift."

Can any Mod or Dev comment on this?

Where did you read that??

If we can tell by the lack of news and updates then it's probably true.:(

Survarium forum. Another post apocalyptic game in development from the Devs of the Stalker series.

Edit: Posted today, 02/27/2014.

1) Nucleair union may be cancelled, there is a chance the devs split up... They are a ukraine based company as well... And half of them supports the eu and the other half russia.

2) "No scheduled date yet. It’s hard to predict due to the inner-team issues and to the overall situation that’s taking place in the [Ukraine]" 1c company.

Let's hope the best for the devs and Ukraine.

[Raider65]

Darn real life / politics getting in the way of game development.

I hope they can stay friends and coworkers and still deliver a good game.

Ohhhhh F*** ME SIDEWAYS!!!! Why did I read this? I already had a bad day at work and now THIS!!!! F*** THIS!! I was hoping that Nuclear Union will be a huge hit - as long as it will come out before Fallout 4, this game had such a huge potential! They would have raised a few millions on Kickstarter easily! Now I'm really sad and even a bottle of whiskey won't cheer me up. Another potentially great game that will not be released, just like Chaos Chronicles that had a great premise... No offence but 1C should step up and do something about this project - you guys are loosing money and loosing market share in this very competitive industry. There are so many lame "console games", adventure games, indie puzzles, boring RPGs and so on, but no other game is going to be "Russian Fallout" like Nuclear Union - I was so excited about this one...

[the_raven]

don't wanna caw but I have this nasty feeling that this game is "on horizon"... :(

[Raider65]

Well don't lose all hope. There's a guy at the Survarium forum claiming he's in a NU CBT so progress must still be continuing.

Quote: "Nucleair Union didnt get cancelled, Im even in the CBT...."

[Nokturnal]

Not saying it's time to lose hope but there are rumours that it's now officially been cancelled.

"has cancelled development of post-apocalyptic RPG"new Union", deciding to focus on distribution, not the publication"

Could anyone with authority please confirm or deny this?

Nike?

[Kaleschky]

NOOO,pLz tell me its still alive ;O

[djsatane]

This is quite sad.

[ZIGS]

I asked a Russian friend I have on Steam and this is what he said:

18:53 - ZIGS: I need some of your Russian insight
18:53 - ZIGS: http://riotpixels.com/1s-softklab-otmenila-razrabotku-novogo-soyuza/
18:53 - ZIGS: Can you confirm if this means the game Nuclear Union was cancelled?
18:53 - him: Sure.
18:53 - him: Sec
18:54 - him: Seems so, yeah. (
18:54 - ZIGS: Aww, damn
18:54 - him: USSR: "New Union" is the Russian title, not sure if it's the same game, but seems so (

What's with 1C and promising games getting cancelled lately? First it was Captain Blood and now this. It's like they hate money or something

[djsatane]

What does Best Way mean by distribution rather than publication? Didnt they develop engine and few games?

[Kaleschky]

Dayum...I was really hoping to play something good .

[Raider65]

From what I understand.

Developer: Best Way. creates the digital content.

Publisher: handles creation / manufactures / prints the physical copies (DVDs or whatever format) or makes the digital "packages".

Distributor: 1C wants to be just the distributor. Sends / distributes the products to vendors or sells the product on / from a web site.

So Best Way is looking for a new Publisher (someone to take over the publishing aspects of the game Nuclear Union / New Union (New Alliance) that they created / are creating, although it seems to be on a permanent hold at the moment).

Edit:
Translated using Bing translator:

"The founder of Best Way Dmitry Morozov told the authors of the podcast "how to make games," 1 c-Www.savemgo.com» has cancelled development of post-apocalyptic RPG "new Alliance", deciding to focus on distribution, not the publication.

According to him, it happened immediately after the exhibition gamescom, held in August last year. Curiously, after that the Publishing House has demonstrated project at igromir in October (our impressions of it you can read here).

The right to the title and the plot of "the new Alliance" left behind "1 c-Www.savemgo.com", but the Best Way is in no hurry to bury the game. The Studio plans to find a new partner and launch your own post-apocalyptic RPG, using the same engine and lots of ready-made elements.

Morozov also spoke about the free-to-play-the project on the basis of a series of RTS "behind enemy lines". Now the game is at an early stage of development. As it is, however, another way, because the right to "behind enemy lines" also belong to the "1 c-Jason Rubin (Director).

There may be a chance this will still come out.

Also there may be another Stalker.

[roptor90]

Nuclear Union can be still a pretty interesting title if 1C will do some small adjusments of course.

1) Revive the developing of Nuclear Union
2) Invite someone who has rich experience and skills with GEM engine already, someone like DMS
3) Temporarily hire/lend someone whos got skills with similar engines to GEM, someone from http://www.4a-games.com or http://graviteam.com/about-company.html
4) Give it some time
5) Profit

(Of course GEM engine is not that similar to 4A engine)

[NuclearUnionFan]

We are waiting for game:-(

[Nokturnal]

Raider65 - Thanks so much for posting that vid!
I had all but given up hope for this game. Glad to see it is still alive.
However, further digging reveals that it's no longer attached to 1C anymore which is why it's so quiet here.

http://forum.bestway.com.ua/index.php?threads/f-a-q.11707/

Obviously Google translate isn't the greatest but what I think I read is that 1C didn't want to continue to finance it, but retained the ownership of the title. Best Way therefore have to give it a new title, Project5 as the working title, and it's now a fallout-inspired game in a stalker-esque enviornment.
The video seems promising although it is almost a year old and the latest thing I can find is a comment from some sort of social media thing stating (again translated):
"It was presented and the company Bestway, which moved to our city. Showed crude build of Project 5, which now is, as I understand, paused - looking for an investor."

So...It's died, revived, died again...come back without the 1C tag and now in limbo...
Let's hope someone picks it up!


Also just briefly on the new stalker possiblity - obviously that link was almost 8 months ago but in case you've not yet heard, GSC are back but no word of another stalker. They are working on Cossacks 3 which I'm told by people was a game that had/has almost as big of a following as stalker so maybe they thought it'd be a good way to re-enter the field...Again, let's just hope they also give us something stalker-ish to play!


roptor - obviously as I've said 1C are no longer involved, but I do agree that they could have worked it out. I don't know what 1C work on these days, I think publishing games is cheaper than funding development so that might be it?

Personally I like to see 1C associated with a game from an Eastern European dev because I know they will at least attempt to do a good job with translating and promotion of the title.

Anyway enough rambling from me.
Shame to see what was once a busy forum full of new and upcoming games now just a place housing a few flagship titles and some unheard of or cancelled games...
