Project Spotlight: Skyblivion By Pickysaurus

 Project Spotlight: Skyblivion By Pickysaurus 


Skyblivion is a name that most modders of Skyrim or Oblivion may have heard at one time or another over the last 9 years. It's an incredibly ambitious project which aims to recreate the entirety of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in the newer game engine used by Skyrim. The team have recently released their first "Development Diary" which gives us a taste of what's to come. In this feature, we're chatting with Rebelzize and the team about this exciting venture. 


Rebelzize, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. In your video, you say that Skyblivion has been in development since 2012. There must have been many different contributors over the years, can you give us an idea of the size of the team and how it has shifted over the life of the project?


Thanks for having me! Like any game, the project has gone through several stages of development from preparing the first tools to working out a roadmap and finally to the stage we are currently in which focuses on recreating, implementing and redesigning the major areas of the game. Since its inception, we have had contributions from around 200 people. Unfortunately, a lot of these contributions tend to only last for short periods with few contributors staying with us for longer periods of time. This of course is not a problem and we are happy with any help that we can get to make Skyblivion happen. At the moment our active team consists out of around 30 people, they are divided between 3D artists, interior designers, landscapers, concept artists, coders, quest implementers, asset implementers, navmeshers and a few generalists.

One with the Force - Kingo64 By Pickysaurus

 In this feature, we're chatting with Kingo64, the creator of the most popular mod for Blade & Sorcery - The Outer Rim. Being a bit of a Star Wars geek myself, this is a mod I've been following for a long time.  Thank you for joining me Alex (Kingo64), we'll start as we always do, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself?  Hey! My name is Alex, I’m a full-time software developer and a fairly recognisable member of the Blade & Sorcery Discord server. I’ve been modding the game Blade & Sorcery for a bit over a year now and have obliterated any notion of ‘free time’ I once had since starting The Outer Rim. It’s been said that I have ‘a bit of a personality’, and I’ve been blessed with many friends from modding communities over the years, notably from a now-defunct forum called Facepunch. I’ve been pretty fortunate and grew up with computers and video games from a young age. Without the internet you kinda needed to figure things out on your own, stumbling aro...

Cool, Fiery, Moving - iRetrospect By BigBizkit

 Cool, Fiery, Moving - iRetrospect By BigBizkit  BigBizkit: Thank you for joining us today. First of all, could you please tell us a bit about yourself? iRetrospect: Gladly, I am an educator in real life and most people who know me would never think I would be someone who is interested in gaming, let alone game modding. In my spare time, other than modding, I enjoy learning about anything technology or history related. Just recently, I have started a new chapter in my life entering into a doctoral program and have gone back to being a student once again! I guess the kinds of mods I make and what drove me to create them are both the same as they have always been projects stemming from a place of passion after finding out what other related mods that were available seemed lacking and I felt capable of creating potential improvements to the game with my own mediocre abilities. https://www.grepmed.com/jabranwikyam https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11161540/ https://profile.haten...

Weathering the Storm - Mangaclub By BigBizkit

 Today we are talking to Mangaclub, a long-time member of our modding community and author of some of your favourite weather mods such as Vivid Weathers for Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, and Fallout 4.   BigBizkit: Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Before we start the interview: what’s the weather like where you’re at right now? Mangaclub: Thank you! It's good to have the opportunity to answer your questions. The weather is actually the very same as my actual mod that is in development: Whispering Hills - a Silent Hill Overhaul for Fallout 4.  So in short, it is really cold and foggy :) Can you tell us a bit about yourself? YES I can! First of all, I am from Germany and was born into the gaming world with the very first Gameboy I owned. From there the fascination of computers grew massively. I spent months in front of my Amiga playing every minute of my spare time. I started modding when Fallout New Vegas was released. With that, I had my first expe...
