Fallout 4 Mod - Johnny's Surveillance Bunker
Gameplay from the Mod. This video shows the exterior and interior portions of the mod. Play it here https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/4230103
The story I tell starts with environmental storytelling. This is set in the Glowing Sea, so the landscape is made to look decimated.
This is what the player sees as soon as they load into the Bunker. The story is mostly told in the interior of the Bunker. You can see there was a fight, and the terminal has narrative that alludes to the threat of Synths.
The interior was designed to provide visibility of other rooms as well as protection with the walls. There is combat here, and this design allows for the player to utilize their surroundings to fight the enemy.
The lighting of the Bunker draws the player to Points of Interest. The door in the center of this picture is locked and needs a key to open. The player is then encouraged to explore the level.
The layout of the bunker features a downstairs that once entered is only exit-able through the discovery and use of a key to regain access to the upper floor.
The story continues to be told in the environment with notes, terminals, and the position of the characters where they lie dead. This tells a tragic tale of survivors that lost their lives to Synths after surviving the horrors of the Blast.
Here's an in-engine shot of the Bunker.

Location of the mod on the map.
This Fallout 4 Creation Kit mod was made by me because I was interested in getting more knowledge and practice with the Creation Kit. I spent the first week playing Fallout 4, and researching the lore of Synths and the war leading up to the Blast. This gave me the knowledge to build a story and a level to experience it in.
Johnnys Surveillance Bunker is a discoverable location in the Glowing Sea. It plays off of the Federal Surveillance Center in the original Fallout 4 game. I wanted to make a story that fit within the canon, and I enjoyed the discovery and exploration of the Federal Bunker in my playthrough of Fallout.
The Characters I made are new to Fallout. I edited the Terrain of the Glowing sea to add a neighborhood for the story to play out as well.
