Carmack said that he would likely be personally involved in making the game, although currently he is too overloaded with work on other games.

Both Carmack and Todd Howard were fans of the platform and any iPhone game based on Bethesda's IP would likely be made as a joint project between id and Bethesda. On NovemJohn Carmack of id Software said that, while it's nothing official yet, he has an internal proof of concept made for a Fallout iOS game.

There is no end goal in the game, save building the biggest, best Vault you can. The game is focused on balancing the needs of your Dwellers while providing them with the best quality of life, as well as defending it from threats. Your duties will include acquisition and distribution of resources, development of the Vault complex, multiplying the population, preventing crises (such as fires and raider attacks), and other similar activities. In the game, you are put in the role of the Overseer of a Vault of your choosing (the number is selected by you), and the goal is to successfully lead generations of Vault Dwellers to survive and thrive in post-nuclear America.
