Lol Porscha! thats kind of catchy

thanks guys.

Well my Estimated release for Part 1. i'd say would be in about 3 to 4 months. but at the rate im doing things maybe you guys will get a steam workshop download demo version much sooner than that.
if people want to test what i've already done, ill release a demo cut version of this. but right now its still very lacking even though it looks athsetically pleasing.

right now, im diving into scripting a scene.. when im finally done with it in like 2 hours or more ill concider posting more pictures

ok ive scripted a scene, it took me ages to get right and still needs tweaking.. but i have a "skeletal" character who roams about in Riften who gives you a note to start a quest for him, which in turn you read to start a quest, (still buggy) but interesting. this quest a w.i.p will lead you to my World "Kamdoon".

ill show some random screens of my maps update and go to sleep now

I suggest you to get someone to fix the texts for ya.

Oh you mean spelling? or how the text isnt lined up perfectly? also from the HAND print which is page 1. the writing page i show is not the first page of text, i wanted to keep it a mystery for now

Also #

not sure if or how to go about this but if i wanted to add the "Monster Mod" to my world... do i start using the *Monster's ESM master from now on instead of the Skyrim.ESM? or do i actually use BOTH?.. this would give my mod far more diversity.

Ok ive fancied up the first city's front area and gateway, also worked on various interiors, now ive expanded to following past "Basch's Farmhouse" you end up winding down a mountainous valley with various caves off to the sides etc. and end up at an Imperial Checkpoint. see the screens.
much NPC life still has to be added but you get the jist of it.

ok ive been getting more done over the past few days, here's some screens from an unfinished area that opens up alot more, offering freedom of choice in terms of directions, you can go anywhere from this new staging area. A vast valley is the next target. that leads into a deep forest then a chasm with a suspension bridge...... .. soon i'll be delving into the story / inspiration etc.

Very good, indeed.

Will be nice to see the progress of this.

Thanks optimaldeath

be sure to "follow this topic if you'd like.

I've just finished fixing some major issue that i ran into, so from tonight ill be back, adding more to this world.
stay tuned!

Ok, i've been busy tonight, navmeshing mostly, and adding some more FX such as SnowBlowing effects, Also made a Jail system now (the first of many) complete with a jail, and guards to lock you up when you've been naughty, and added to the "valley" area some more..


works slowed down over the last week as ive been watching *Game of Thrones* season 1, but im done with that now so ill be getting into this and picking up the pace abit...
Man, i cannot wait til that new king "that boy" and his mother "the queen" get it.. they've really pissed me off getting away with all that..

anyways enjoy.

And afew more.

i've created a rough design so far of a large area that is a aspen tree / plains area / mountainous area. here ive got over 4 caves designed and getting them ready to clutter. will show more in due course.

get involved, see things you like? let me know, things you dont like let me know also! these areas shown in the screens are still W.I.P

[img]http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/178012_259843497462143_283262105_o.jpg[/img][img]http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/413651_259845014128658_331252468_o.jpg[/img][img]http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/474077_259845540795272_1847368085_o.jpg[/img]

Ok. ive got some goodies to show you all. some screenshots from a cave i've been working on.. It's *Dwemer* based, and im setting up little tidbits like unique books etc but heres what
i've got so far.

Also the main attraction of this ruin so far is the massive dwemer contraption that still works.. im using a rather mixed box of kits to come up with a very unique dwemer construction with many moving parts etc.. also there's a mining section with some backstory to it, this cave is a lost relic of time with boundless treasures and traps to watch out for.. tread lightly!

take a look!

again very w.i.p so theres afew gaps that need to be filled and lighting fixes etc, but it gives you an idea of what to expect.
anyone else like the dwemer ruins kits? i'm finding amazing uses for this stuff!

Welcome to the latest updates..

my worldspace is turning out quite well now, i've clearly set out to build something that not only i will enjoy, but you you fans / modders of Bethesda's work will enjoy too, or so i hope!
i've got many new secrets tucked away in Kamdoon now, but that's for finding out when you guys get to test this mod. should it be merly called a mod?

i've definatly taken inspiration from many places and times.. real or not. such as Greek Mythology, Roman influences, Japanese Culture, you name it. At the moment it truly feels as though theres no limits to what i can achieve with this Creation Kit, so i must thank Todd & Bethesda for making this possible. Im taking huge leaps of learning things now, as im not just limited to the CK but i've also got the 2012 package of "Entertainment creation" by AutoDesk which contains Mudbox, Motion Builder, 3DS MAX 2012, MAYA 2012 etc etc.. so i'm learning to make 3d models now too, once i'm up to par with this i'll most likely be adding new statics & creatures to skyrim.. which would be seperate mods altogether. And would most certainly be added into my next world creation.

I' admit a statement made at the start of this thread may be a little overwhelming to do which is voice everything myself, That said i'll do as much as i can do without comprimising the quality of the mod, but once i get dialogs ready ill be looking for decent voice actors to join my cause! and any noble people's here willing to do free acting* on behalf of me and what i write, would be added into the credits of this work..

Of course though, i'd have to scrutinize what i here to go with the feel & flow of my world, that said everything helps!

.

here's some height views of my work. i hope this shows the level of care i'm taking to build everything. i must be spending at least as much time as Alexander* on the CK daily. mabye more.
usually about 12 to 13 hours a day..

anyways keep the comments flowing support here goes a long way.

HEIGHTVIEWS BELOW:

Do you work alone? Adding everything you've mentioned that will be for this mod yourself makes me question it altogether. It's looking nice, though.

I'm not even remotely close to putting you down, but you've described this to be pretty massive so I'm wondering who all is involved with this project. That's a lot of work to do.

Yes.Want.

I'm quite impressed with what you've shown us of the dwemer ruins so far, it reminds me of a certain Moria instance from the lord of the rings online.
Goodluck with your project, I'm looking forward to the first open alpha/beta.

daaaaaaang (for some reason that word's been stuck in my head all day. enjoy.)
You must spend a lot of time on this. Dwemer ruin looks excellent.
That said... I noticed a couple of photos that show snowy meshes underground. That's... not how snow works. (I take it you do get snow in adelaide?)

Mods that add landmass and more quests are always the best.
This mod is looking really cool, I'll be paying attention to your progress.
You should consider using some new armors in your mod
I think these packs would fit in quite nicely, they already give permission to use them in their descriptions
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19733
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5588

I kinda envy you for having the guts to go "[censored] it, a small dungeon or a player house is not big enough for me. I'll make an entirely new island or whatever."
And from the looks of it you're actually doing an above average job on it.

How are you doing on NPCs and such things?

Ok, im back!

sorry been very busy as you could imagine.. ill get around soon to a teaser trailer later today and put it up over youtube and let you guys be the first to see it

@ Porscha: to answer your question im working Solo on this completely.. yes thats true. But i will be looking for voice talent when im ready for that. its not all that bad working alone, you get to make it just the way you want to.. somedays though i get more done than others... like how i can define a whole new landarea such as "aspen forest" or "hot springs" in the course of two or three days.. but then working on a new town, i took all last night just making over a farmhouse with a owner, & lots of the little things like Havok settling items on tables etc. it kind of depends on how much i can do in a day. but for a months work or so this is looking and feeling pretty good.

@Razor66: Thanks man. yeah creativity plays a massive part in making this, and im using everything ive got to put together the best experience i can possibly make for people to enjoy.. im a big fan of "over the top" style panorama's etc. creating what should get a "wow" effect on people who visit this place. thats the idea.

@evilgiraffe: yes i spend alot of time on this world im making, i want to see just how much i can push myself to do in a 3 months period.. that should get the worldspace done initially.. but then there's quests etc too..
Well it doesnt really snow here in adelaide! but yes snow underground is there on purpose.. you see theres many holes in the roof of this place where snow would eventually build up inside here.. im trying to make a world that is believeable and not cartoony. if say theres water puddles on something *the activator+ set pieces* say water puddle with fog.. is on a rikity bridge well under that ive placed water drops to simulate the water being there and what it would really do. these things are all detrimental to the look and feel of the world.

@Sargonoid: ill consider the new armour things, right now im making the world which for the most part is trying to make the best of a difficult to use landscape tool*.. i swear the "1" setting is still too big in some cases for painting, or land terraforming. but ive been patient and im going about smoothing out EVERY SINGLE SHARP EDGE! those pesky things are horrid

@spoki0: lol, thanks yeah im not so fussed with a small mod, this is all about giving modders something big to experience, something new. NPC's.. whats that? JK...JK no, im doing ok on this subject. adding many but all *unique* actors as much as possible.. guards for one.. they always have masks in Skyrim but here im trying to show that every single guard here is different as they would be in real life.. People may get tired of the same old set pieces but i've been extremely creative in making very unique new designs that at times may seem odd to people, or they may think otherwise, i cannot guess people's reactions to this work all i can do is make the best game that i can and go from there. either way i'll be happy with it even if some people think it's no good or whatever. anyways, when the trailers up you guys will have something better than pictures to show you my work !!

thanks and keep watching out for future updates!

Hmm, some of the snow still looks out of place, but I guess a sufficiently strong/gusty wind could spread the snow a bit from where it had fallen through...

Ok, shortly an announcement trailer will be added here
just a youtube address.

im uploading now so fingers crossed it goes through then ill add the link soon.
before you watch it you may want to grab a coffee or whatever, it's not that long, but i cut it down from over an hours footage, now its about 9min 30.
Still.. what i'm showing is only a small percentage of the world.. faults & all, i think it's worth watching to soak up the atmosphere of what is Kamdoon!

i'll report the address here Asap#
..

That's pretty long

That's also pretty awesome.

Hah.. i get that alot
Anyways here's the YOUTUBE VIDEO TRAILER!


it should work.
let me know your thoughts. this is a labor of love & as such takes time, you'll probably notice some "seams" etc here or there. have no fear i'm getting around to it all.
ok here it is guys and girls.

You've done a lot. Nice job.
