Quick Summary
“Beats Per Minutemen” is a single-player quest in Fallout 4. The player encounters a woman named Ann P. See who is a recruiter for the Minutemen. She informs the player that she recruited Synths that had escaped the Institute to give them a new life, but they are abusing their freedom and tarnishing the Minutemen name by blasting music and partying.

1. New Mechanics through Scripting
2. Incorporate the Fundamentals of Level Design
1. New Mechanics Through Scripting
I try to push the boundaries of each engine I'm given by implementing new mechanics through scripting and seeing how much the engine can handle.
I wanted to implement a rhythm like mechanic within Fallout 4. I took inspiration from the game Bullets Per Minute and tried to have a similar rhythm mechanic where the player has to shoot enemies and objects on beat to effect them.
The Script
Main Script
The Main Script is the script that controls everything from which songs need to be played and the timing.
Hit On Beat Script pt. 1
This script determines if the player hit the object on beat or not. It communicates with the Main Script to know the timing of when the player hits the object correctly on beat. The object also glows based on how many hits they have been hit with.
Hit On Beat Script pt. 2
This script determines if the player hit the object on beat or not. It communicates with the Main Script to know the timing of when the player hits the object correctly on beat. The object also glows based on how many hits they have been hit with.

The shelves (though used as a hazard) is also used to platform across. This area is blocked until the player learns to correctly shoot the shelf on beat allowing them to pass.

The mechanic is re-taught.

Postmortem
What Went Well?
-
Coming up with interesting and new mechanics and ideas.
-
I wanted to showcase scripting in Creation Kit and I was able to do so by having multiple scripts all interacting with each other.
-
Able to quickly action-block and get the mechanic working.
-
Able to have a foundation of layout written down initially and translating it into the engine quickly.
​
What Went Wrong?
-
I focused significantly on the scripting that I lacked in aesthetics.
- Because so much focus was on scripting, a lot of softlocks arose when playtesting but were ironed out over time.
What I learned
-
I learned that having a strong LDD and foundation helps the entire process of the level. Being able to not have to adjust the layout saves a significant amount of time.
-
Having the action-blocks and growing out from them helps significantly and allows me not to have to start from scratch when creating a level.
-
I learned more scripting techniques within Creation Kit.
