Hi, I'm Cook.
A bit about myself.
The Early Days.
I'm an all-round Sci-Fi and Doctor Who fan, live with a cat called Maple, and consider myself a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to digital work - both creative and technical.
I originally began my content creation hobby trying to make mods for Minecraft and new items for TF2 using Blender - but I was young, and not very good.
That didn't stop me. Like mods, websites and Lego - skills are built brick by brick through effort and perseverence.
Nuclear Fusion.
As a Doctor Who and Fallout fan, I naturally gravitated towards and was an early follower of Fallout Who Vegas (FWV) - a mod committed to fusing elements of Doctor Who with the world of Fallout: New Vegas.
I started tinkering with the G.E.C.K. and a couple of years later, I found myself contributing to the project alongside the team my good friend Chris had put together.
I created the companion system, which let you bring otherwise unrecruitable NPCs aboard the TARDIS, and granted them a randomised name. I also designed and implemented the Trenzalore worldspace and associated quest, called 'The Siege', where you have to fight off alien invaders and bring about an to end the war.
Unfinished Business.
Chris and I briefly worked on and released a version of Fallout Who for Fallout 4, now affectionately named Fallout Who: Grandfather (FWG). The tools were new, and it was rough-around-the-edges, but it worked.
I eventually went off to university to study Computer Science which occupied a lot of my attention - but as my time there came to a close, I felt a calling to return to modding my favourite games.
I began the process of rebuilding FWG from the ground up. Taking the best elements of FWV, alongside new innovations made in FWG, I built Fallout Who: Regenerated (FWR) which was released in 2022 and has received incremental updates ever since.
The Future.
I'm privileged to have made some great friends, run an active community, and work with some genuinely talented contributors on the projects that I love.
I'm also incredibly appreciative for Bethesda's Verified Creator program. The substantial skillset I have built working on these projects, over nearly 10 years, has opened up a new avenue for making great content that, as a bonus, can earn some pocket money. This has been a great success so far, starting with 'Skinthetics by Enhance!' and 'Choose Your Chunks'.
So, looking ahead, I plan to keep on creating. More Verified Creations, more great new features, stories and worlds, and - of course - I'll be working on Whofield, bringing that same level of Doctor Who madness to Starfield that players of FWV and FWR love and expect.
