28 years later, Fallout creator wonders if all the effort he put in to scrubbing a minor graphics issue was actually worth it, especially because Diablo "had it in droves and no-one cared"

Fallout overseer.

The creator of Fallout is still wondering if he put too much effort into fixing a graphics issue in the original RPG - especially since Diablo completely got away with it at the time.

In a recent video, Tim Cain discussed the struggles that developers sometimes go through when their personal preferences don't necessarily line up with the audience's. To explain that, he touches on the concept of 'foot-sliding' - something he wrestled to remove from the original Fallout, but watched other devs get away with.
