1960 Life

[hearty falcon]

Hey everyone,

We want to share some information about 1960Life! If you're a fan of the 1960s era, the Mafia series and/or "The Godfather", this is something you don't want to miss.
Our goal is to recreate the atmosphere and experience of living in the 1960s through immersive gameplay and detailed assets. From the weapons and vehicles to the clothing and architecture, every aspect is self-made (or bought and imported into Enfusion).

We have already put in countless hours of work to bring this project to life in Arma 3 but with the early access release of Arma Reforger we decided that we can do better and started over again to raise the quality of the mod.

Regarding the “Life” in the name, you’re probably thinking: “Oh no, not again.”
We are well aware of the reputation the life communities have and want to do better. As stated above, all our assets are either self-made by us, commissioned or bought.

If you are interested in the project and want to help us realize it, please reach out to me or @humble owl. We are always looking for more contributors.

Cheers,
Killergnom

Will this include 1960s military gear or no

[hearty falcon]

Not really. Maybe as roleplay elements, but we focus on the civilian side (police, fire fighters,...)

[spring hazel]

All those cars driveable??

[hearty falcon]

They will be, it's still wip and we're still getting used to the workbench

[wheat yacht]

[hidden bridge]

-WIP--

[opal mist]

@hidden bridge will the buildings and vehciles be available ina seperate mod cuz holy shit they’re beautiful

[hidden bridge]

Thank you first of all, we are very dedicated to our work and are happy to get feedback. We probably will release some assets in a separate mod at some point. Not everything but surely some buildings and structures. Since we haven´t even released our main mod yet, we haven´t discussed that topic. But we will take it into account. 🙂

[hidden bridge]

-WIP- Windows are done and in!

Close up of the roof details

[hearty falcon]

WIP of a police station. Its not going to be the HQ but a smaller "outpost" for the outer parts of the map.

[white kernel]

How big is the map supposed to be?

[hearty falcon]

~10x10km

[white kernel]

Nice, thanks man.

[hidden bridge]

-Interior impressions-

[opal mist]

I think y’all will be happy to know one of the guys from Vietnam 67 is making an M1928 Thompson as well

Also that interior looks amazing

[hearty falcon]

Nice! That's awesome 🙂 Thanks for the info 👍

[blissful gate]

Finally I can be a mob boss

[opal mist]

Me preparing for this lol

[blissful gate]

Deadass lol

[blissful gate]

Wait is that like a war room type thing

[hearty falcon]

That's the "office" of the police station 😄

[blissful gate]

Cool

[hearty falcon]

Looks a bit different now.

[blissful gate]

Could the bulletin board be used in a war room theme

In like a mafia base cause that’d be pretty cool ngl

[hearty falcon]

I guess so - I mean, probably not with the pictures on it right now, but with different pics, sure.

[opal mist]

All ya need is a board with wanted posters as well in there

[blissful gate]

Just put generic mugshots if Ingame characters on it

[hidden bridge]

-- WIP -- Motel

[blissful gate]

Oh yea we do back rn

[hearty falcon]

Little WIP Diner 🍔 🍟

[blissful gate]

Deadass we getting McDonald’s in reforger before arma 4 let’s gooo

[hearty falcon]

Very very very early wip of the state house (the Massachusetts State House is my design reference).

[white kernel]

Very, very cool.

[blissful gate]

I’m guessing it’s the one on the left?

[hearty falcon]

Well, from left to right it's:
Casino 🎰
Big Bank 🏦
State House 🇺🇸

[blissful gate]

Kool

[hidden bridge]

Motel update. Window frames are in and rooms are wallpapered. Would you sleep here for a night?

[blissful gate]

Yes I would
Next question

[tardy ferry]

Are you guys making just buildings or an actual map?

[blissful gate]

I believe they’re making assets for a map they’ll be building

[hidden bridge]

We are also working on a 1960s american themed map but thats in it´s very early stage because we need the buildings first ^^

[hidden bridge]

Correct

[blissful gate]

Looking forward to it

[tardy ferry]

Awesome

[hidden bridge]

Interior of the Motel is done! 😎

[blissful gate]

I’d sleep in that

[hidden bridge]

Post added baseboards and tiles on the wall in the bathroom. I knew something was missing 😄 .

[hidden bridge]

-WIP- Mining system. Procedural mine shaft generation.

[white kernel]

Very impressive man.

[cobalt pawn]

Procedural? With like polylines for placement and randomization of the pieces?

[hearty falcon]

Kind of, but not really. Players will be able to "dig" (with dynamite) mineshafts at certain predefined places. They can then decide where they want the mineshaft to go - straight, curved, crossings,… every dynamite spawns a new mineshaft module.

[cobalt pawn]

Ohh, interesting!

[hearty falcon]

1960 Life

[blissful gate]

🔥🔥🔥

[plain umbra]

Reminds me of Mafia 3

[hearty falcon]

Awesome. Than we're on the right track because that's pretty much what we're aiming for 😊

[plain umbra]

Oh what that’s awesome, I wish you guys the best with the project. will definitely be looking into it regularly 😎 one of my favorite games for sure. 👍🏻

[tardy ferry]

will you be releasing your buildings in seperate packs? i.e suburban buildings pack, commercial buildings pack etc

[hearty falcon]

It's a bit early to discuss releasing anything just yet. Our plan is to release the mod as a whole for our server first. However, I can see us potentially releasing certain parts separately to the community at a later date or during development if we see some things that we feel like wanting to share separately from the beginning.

[vernal star]

[tardy ferry]

If you guys just released like the suburban homes you’ve made the community could do so many american maps. All the current suburban homes look too European to make something like it

[hearty falcon]

Hm, yeah. We can definitely discuss that internally once we are a bit further along. At the moment we only have like 2 (?) suburban homes "ready" I think.
We are also looking forward to the update that'll introduce destructible buildings as we'll probably have to adjust/redo quite a few buildings then (I'm guessing).

[tardy ferry]

yea hopefully it'll come out soon

[hidden bridge]

WIP update on the Autoservice
Have a nice weekend 🙂

[tranquil hatch]

looking good!

[hidden bridge]

New Suburban Building WIP

[hidden bridge]

Textures finished, materials next

[hidden bridge]

Texturing Update -wip-

[hidden bridge]

Finished 🙌

• added Lods
• added collision geometries
• added light portals
• added light voume
• added box volume
• added window prefabs

[pulsar herald]

Love your guys work so far? Any estimate on release date yet for assets?

[hearty falcon]

Thank you so much 🫶
We don’t have an estimate yet. There’s still a lot on our plate and we are only 2-3 active devs right now.

[hearty falcon]

I have this week off, so I can tackle a few things 😎

[pulsar herald]

Love it, class suburban building

[fossil perch]

Incredible the work you manage to do, they are also magnificent, beautiful buildings GG👍

[pulsar herald]

Will all of your stuff be in one mod, or will your buildings and clothing be separate mods?

[hearty falcon]

It'll all be in one (well three - Assets, Code, Map) mod at the beginning. We might release certain parts separately at a later stage.

[pulsar herald]

So will other modders be able to use your buildings assets to make their own maps using them?

[hearty falcon]

That is quite far away (time vise) for us at this point so I can’t really give you a definitive answer on that yet. I can only repeat what I said before. We might release certain parts (that could include buildings, cars, clothes, weapons,…) separately. Our main focus right now is on the project as a whole though.

[hidden bridge]

New Downtown building finished

[hidden bridge]

What could this building host, do you have any ideas for us?

[pulsar herald]

Definitely a lot of apartment rooms and maybe a lobby on the 1 floor

[hidden bridge]

WIP Some experimental stuff for our map. What do you think? 🙂

[hidden bridge]

Hole in one? ⛳

[opal mist]

Yoooo they had golf carts back then too?

[hidden bridge]

Sure why not? It’s the 60s, they landed on the moon 🤔 😄

[blissful gate]

How fast is the cart

[hidden bridge]

Not set yet. Would do you recommend? 😌

[blissful gate]

0-60 in 3 seconds
Tops out at about 70

[hidden bridge]

Maybe downhill 😂. Can‘t prommise.

[humble owl]

WIP

[hearty falcon]

Couple small town shop buildings 😎

[sonic steppe]

Wip?

[hearty falcon]

Yes 😄 They won't be that colorful once finished it's just a color option of Blender.

[balmy aspen]

Glad to see this progressing along!

[sonic steppe]

Looks awesome tho, the the map would be sick for a red dawn operation or event

[hidden bridge]

New Building

[fossil perch]

[hearty falcon]

Been a bit quiet from our side for a while. We are currently learning and trying out a few more new things. So there’s not really much that we’re proud to show off yet.
I for example am trying to get into creating clothes (Marvelous Designer, ZBrush, Blender, Marmoset, Substance Painter). It’s fun but also very time consuming 😬

[robust tusk]

awesome work, textures look incredible

[vague bison]

like

[hidden bridge]

Let´s all ask the holy father what he thinks about this building? 🤔

[robust tusk]

Awesome work as always 🙏

[hidden bridge]

Driving home late? We are here for you.

[narrow pawn]

So will the vehicles in this mod be GM place able, or actually drivable?

[hearty falcon]

They will be driveable. Not sure about GM as we don’t plan on having GM in our Gamemode afaik.

[narrow pawn]

Just curious as to how it would work. Thanks for answering!

[robust tusk]

Some GM stuff would be really cool, especially for those that like taking pictures and stuff as we can set up scenes

[humble owl]

GM Implementstion is quite easy ill do that :) Also more to the Cars will come Soonish.

[humble owl]

These are two small videos showcasing the animation work I have been doing for the "Fard Custom". I have spent around 50 to 60 work hours reworking our existing model and getting it to this state. Be advised some animations are still missing or WIP. The same goes for the sounds. Hope you guys like it.

[vague bison]

have u used IK pose for sterring wheel?

[humble owl]

Sorry I wasnt able to anwser earlier. Iam not sure what you are trying to ask exactly.

[vague bison]

i saw on some vanilla car that u can use ikposes for hand and steering wheel, so hand automatically attach themselfs to points

[humble owl]

Ah I see I didnt know that. Iam using Animations to do the Steering.

[vague bison]

okay.

[hearty falcon]

🥥 🌴

[hearty falcon]

I've lost count of how many times I've started this shirt over pretty much from scratch now but I keep learning new things 🤷‍♂️ I feel like we are getting closer to the final version now though 🤞
ZBrush is a challenge 🥲

[robust tusk]

Looks really nice

[vernal star]

Nice

[spring ore]

Wow, just saw about this mod... this is some serious high quality stuff! And a lots of it.

[upbeat star]

Are these mods strictly for a certain server?

[hearty falcon]

Thank you for your kind words 🫶

[hearty falcon]

They will be at the start but we plan to release parts of it for the community along the way.

Then again we can always talk and are open for collabs if both parties can gain from it 🙂

[upbeat star]

Aw I see. I would like to message you soon if that’s okay! Also how are the long coat suits going? They looked awesome from what I’ve seen

[hearty falcon]

Sure thing!
I am currently reworking all of our clothes because I’ve learned quite a few new things (Marvelous Designer, ZBrush, Marmoset) over the last couple of months. Coats turn out to be a little bit of a struggle 😅 But I am sure that we’ll tackle that at some point in the near future 😎

[upbeat star]

Oh okay. How are the regular suits coming along? My apologies I’m just fascinated about that the most haha

[hearty falcon]

Give me some time to master shirts, and then I’ll shift to more complex things 😂✌️
I am struggling a bit with getting a suit to fit the bulky Reforger guy without it looking weird.

[upbeat star]

That’s completely fair

[humble owl]

Been working on 2 new Buildings. Still Heavy W.I.P
