About

UPDATE (23rd June 2022): The game has moved to github, and any future updates will be made there.

This older version will remain here in case people want it, unless I am given any reason to remove it in the future

Figure out where an image was taken in the world of Fallout 4 and get a score out of 5000 based on how close you are.

"Inspired" by these games (mainly gtaguessr for showing me the concept is actually fun and worth pursuing for other games):

Controls

Scroll to zoom, click and drag to pan - works for the map and game image.
Click on the map to place your guess.

This is a fan made game. I am in no way related to Bethesda, who made and own Fallout 4. This is just for fun and I am not making money from it.

Credits

Bethesda, for making the original game, which I also remade the waypoint markers from.
Emil, for testing and telling me how web things work
Me, for making the game, taking the pictures and putting the map together (aren't I great)

Known bugs

The buried church in the glowing sea is off the side of the map
The water at Quincy Quarry is the wrong colour
The water at Thicket Excavations is mostly missing
The map doesn't reset at some menu changes where it probably should

Updates

1.4.1 - 14th February 2022

Critical strike on Bloatfly

1.4 - 8th February 2022

Switched over to a more detailed but less nice looking map
Bonus points system for true gamers tm
Swapped two buttons around because I felt like it, sorry if you liked how they were before
Changed the previous two update notes where I still thought it was 2021

1.3.2 - 23rd January 2022

Curb-stomped some radroaches

1.3 - 13th January 2022

More images - 638 across the entire map. Could always add more but this took long enough
Game-modes
- The previous version of the game is now the "endless" mode
- Normal mode - 5 rounds, 60 seconds each
- Survival mode - 25 seconds per round, score above 4500 or you lose. Go for as long as possible
- Custom mode - set your own rules for number of rounds, time per round and minimum score
- Copy a code to play a game with the same rules and locations as someone else
Improved map - see the credits for where I got it from. Despite being the best satellite map I could find online, it was made using low LOD (i.e. far away) models, so there are missing details on the map. I hope to make my own one with the highest LOD, but some testing I have done put an estimate to that being done in forever
Further improved performance (should use less resources when not doing anything with the images)
Added this update to the updates section of the about text
More things I forgot (probably)

1.2 - 29th November 2021
