The Purpose.

I am a programmer by trade and have always wanted to get into Skyrim modding.  However, as I am a programmer, modding is a bit close to what I do all day, so it can be tough to get home and do the same thing.  I have had many ideas from that I started playing the game, but never took the time to really learn modding.  I have built some things in the CK, even tweaked a mod or two, but have never released anything.  I have two mods sitting around that are good candidates for me to use to further my knowledge on Skyrim modding.  One will take very little, as it is just a player home, the other a bit more complex, but should be fun.

 

Soo... I decided to create this blog.

 

This blog is a place for me to express some of the ideas I have had for Skyrim mods over the years.  I cannot say whether or not these mod ideas will ever grow to become mods, but we can all hope.  I do plan on learning more about modding.  Perhaps doing that will spark some incentive to try out some of my ideas.  I currently have at least two ideas that I have started taking notes on.  I will get those to a presentable form and post them.  Each idea will have its own post, and that post will be used to discuss the idea with the community (or just myself if no one cares to stop by).  Over time the posts will be updated to reflect changes in each idea.  Maybe eventually we will have working outlines for each idea.

 

This first post can also serve as a place to suggest your own ideas.  Maybe one will spark some inspiration in me, or someone else.

 

Stay tuned!

If you don't know where to start in terms of creative process, you could indeed begin with working on an already existing mod. There's an highly exotic quest mod around, that introduces a new world, a new set of mechanics, new races and items, all linked by a rather large quest. However, it was done by a lone modder, who seems to struggle with some technical points, and so it's very bugged (in terms of scripts and packages in particular), and could use some writing improvements as well. He has announced at some point he wished to redo some parts of it ; so it might be interesting for the both of you to work together ? Not sure about his current commitment to that wish though. The mod is Things in the Dark, by Delzaron ; I reviewed it below if you wanna get a quick idea.

That's just a suggestion though, you might prefer to go for a non shared work, but at the very least this example might inspire you. Smiley_jap_HFR.gif

The creative process is not the issue, I have a lot of those going on lol.  I just have yet to really delve into the technical parts.  Got a lot of boring tutorial reading to do!

 

I looked into maybe fixing a different Delzaron mod, Deadly Pleasures.  It is like all his mods, great idea, just incomplete execution.   Once I get confident in my modding knowledge I might revisit that idea. 

 

TitD  Has been in my load order for a long time, despite the amount of bugs in it.  I was hoping someone was going to make it work right. Lupine00 was working on some fixes.  I keep saying Delzaron needs a team.  I am not confident enough to be a part of that yet.
